Hi.
I will have my oath ceremony soon. Very excited.
How long is the online citizenship ceremony? Is that 1 hour, or can be longer than 2 hours?
Thank you.
CONGRATS! Mine was a little bit shorter than 1 hour. But this all depends on how quick people are joining the call and how savvy they are with technology as they will be asked to show docs on camera, mute, unmute, etc... My cohort was so quick in following instructions, to the point were the ceremony itself was shorter than the wait for everyone's docs was checked at the beginning.

Hello All,

I plan to electronically sign the oath form. Do I still need to keep a print out ready during ceremony?

Just got oath email with details. Oath will be on 11 Aug. Besides PR card , any other documents needed to show ?

The PDF document is 10 page & form is at page 10. Should I just only need to page 10 ( form) with the signature or the entire PDF?

Hi,
Could someone please help with these questions? We have Oath scheduled on 23rd August. No invite yet..but assume that will come through imminently.
1. Processing office London…we want to attend the Oath in Mississauga with family. Is it essential that we have to be in London given that its a virtual ceremony…we are still in Canada.
2. We plan to show ID as PR cards and Passports. Our DL and OHIP cards are expired..we just returned to Canada and aren’t eligible to renew yet. Do they have to be valid? Anyone face a similar position?
Thanks!
Ramesh

the invite arrives one week before Oath
no worries, just being in Canada
if your application was approved to take the Oath. I guess, your expired IDs maight no be an issue

Thank you. We got the official email invite today.
We had an in person interview last month and we explained the expired cards to them...we were out of the country for 2 years during COVID and have just returned.
