September 2024 Citizenship Applications

They checked my passport and PR first and then asked basic questions like if I have a criminal record or had any issue with immigration. Asked about my work and if I have any travel plans. That’s it. It was pretty chill so need to to worry. Make sure you have all the documents with you when you start the interview. Passport, IDs,etc

Thank you for you response. Did they ask anything on the lines of are you inside Canada or not - even though its virtual interview. I ask because, I m right now in US and just making sure to plan ahead for myself. Thank you !

Scheduled for oath on the 6th of march, but let them know that I will be traveling and returning on the 20th. They rescheduled me to 26th march. Didn't expect that they will reschedule it so fast.

I had virtual interview while i was out of country so no issues in that, just let them know via email. The official mentioned that everything on the file is in order and the only reason for the interview was because i filed the application from outside Canada and its their standard procedure for that. My interview last for abt 15 mins out of which just 2 mins were related to document check and file related questions. Rest we were just having friendly talk and specially for having same sun sign. Lol. The official said i guarantee you now you are now officially a Canadian and your file is complete. It will be updated soon on the tracker. And they asked me abt my return plans so she can request oath ceremony after that date. I took my oath this week after returning to Canada.
Processing office - Calgary (very fast processing office, have seen many examples now, including myself)
Oath ceremony was in-person.
