I do recall being told that for the virtual oath ceremony itself you are required to be in Canada. But as for applying for a passport I imagine that is possible?

They sure did!

I did not have an interview. It took about 5 months from test to oath :)

Hey!!! The ceremony was amazing. Obviously a bit less exciting than it would have been in person, but they do their best to still make it special. Registration took from about 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. where they just confirm who you are and you hold all of the requested documents up to the camera...

Did online test in December, had my Oath ceremony last week

My oath is at 9:30 a.m. My invitation came from my local processing centre (Kitchener) so I can only imagine it is my local time.

So 15 years after moving to Canada and 2.5 years after applying for Citizenship, my journey towards becoming a Canadian Citizen is FINALLY coming to fruition :D I just got my notice to appear for the oath next Thursday, June 3rd!! I am beyond excited. Will be blasting the anthem on full volume...

You have 90 days to fulfil the finger print request. I would give a bit of time - about 3 weeks prior to make sure they are received in time. So basically I would say you can pretty safely be out of the country for about 2.5 months after you receive the FP request, but then would have to return...

Thank you, will do! So FP requests definitely arrive by e-mail and not snail mail? The reason I am worried is that I changed addresses in the past month or so and although I did notify IRCC, I am a little paranoid that it may get sent to my old address.

Hi everyone, My application is being processed in Kitchener and I did my online test on December 3, 2020. Today, I checked ECAS and saw the following update: "We sent you correspondence on March 4, 2021. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as...

I am a December 2018 applicant and got my online test invitation from the Kitchener office in November 2020. Did the online test on Dec 3rd and waiting since then. My ecas still says in process.

Hi there! My original test prior to covid19 that I could not attend was January 9, 2020. It took almost a full year before they rescheduled my test which was the online one I completed on December 3, 2020!

Hi everyone, I thought I would make a thread for anyone who is in the same situation as me so that we can share/compare our experiences/next steps. I received an invite on November 27, 2020 to take the online citizenship test between December 1, 2020 and December 21, 2020. I passed the test...

What happens in the interview?

Do you mean the interview for people who do not have to take a test? Or Oath Ceremony? I think all the Oath Ceremonies have been online for a few months already. Read that so far 43,000 applicants have had their Oath Ceremonies online since the pandemic and cancellation of in person oaths. I...

I submitted my app in Dec 2018 o_O Couldn't make it to the original test date they sent me in January of this year, so then it got rescheduled to be online and I completed that yesterday.

Thanks :) Yes, you get the results immediately.

Yup! Here are the step by step instructions they sent me: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/citizenship-test/tutorial.html

Your webcam is on and filming/taking pictures of you the whole time, so if they see you looking around or talking to anyone you'd get caught. Plus it knows if you open another tab. Not saying cheating isn't maybe possible but I personally wouldn't think to jeopardize my entire citizenship...

Just did mine yesterday! It was a really smooth and easy process. They take a picture of a piece of ID that you hold up, then of your face and then you do the test and submit :)
