I can't find the post anymore. But one of my relative did the oath today (Surrey IRCC) and requested in person pickup during the oath because of her coming travel out of the country. The Oath officer granted her request and she can pick up her citizenship certificate two days later in...

Can we request to pickup the citizenship certificate in person at the nearest IRCC office? I heard someone mentioned Surrey IRCC allows that. Do we request in person pickup during the oath ceremony? Thank you in advance!

I think you should email them and send them web form to check the status.

Yes, IRCC now allows interviews from outside of Canada. I saw that from many other posts on this forum. But you need to let them know soon after you receive the invite letter.

I'm just sharing my true experience. I also let them know the reason why I needed that time frame. That's also what my IRCC office told me to write in email when I did the interview outside of Canada. I wrote three emails - two to the local IRCC office and one to the Ceremony specific email...

I requested a specific Oath time frame and at least three weeks' notification time when sending rescheduling emails, and I got the dates I wanted in mid-January. I think the oath ceremony email worked. I didn't send them my itinerary, but just let them know when I'll be in Canada. Thank you...

Thank you for the response. Do you request in-person pick up during the Oath? Are these request usually be accommodated? My IRCC office is in Surrey, BC, and I saw someone posted that they have picked up in person from Surrey IRCC.

I have Oath scheduled on Jan. 10, 2022, and would like to know if I can pick up my certificate of citizenship at a local Passport office or have to wait for them to mail it back to me? I plan to travel to the US soon and don't need Canadian passport to enter the US.

So have you requested citizenship ceremony be done outside of Canada? If so, have you heard anything back from IRCC?

Any status change after sending to this ceremony specific email?

Congratulations! Is the webform a specific webform for ceremony rescheduling or the generic webform for all immigration/citizenship matters? Also which IRCC office are you with?

I don't think so, as long as you still qualify.

TN is valid for 3 years now. I know a friend who's on TN and works in the US for more than 10 years that way.

Maybe you should contact your district MP to speed things up. I saw someone else did that and it worked.

Did you receive a new email about the Oath invite? If not, that probably just means they made a note about your absence or your rescheduling request in your tracker, but not trying to reschedule you yet.

When was your original oath date? I think you'll just have to keep emailing them.

When requesting to reschedule oath, is it possible to request a specific time frame you know you'll be back in Canada? My email from IRCC says when I return, email them so they'll reschedule. They didn't ask for any proof though. Have anyone request a time frame and get the oath they requested?

How long did the interview last?

My daughter received her oath invite in less than 2-week's time and she's studying in the US and can't make it back on time. She emailed IRCC and they asked her to email them when she's back in Canada. She then gave them her winter break schedule and request that her Oath be done during that...

I saw that another person from Calgary also got interviewed outside of Canada, so it seems OK for citizenship interviews to be conducted outside of Canada. After all, what's the purpose to travel back to Canada for an online event that doesn't involve change of PR status? Also, they only gave...
