Hello everyone,

My ceremony is scheduled for September 15, 2021. Do you know if I can vote on the election day September 20, 2021?

I went to the voters website and I was able to register myself. However, I choose that I am a Canadian citizen in the registration form.

Please advise.
 
Yes u will be

Yes, you can. You can check the status of your registration here => https://ereg.elections.ca/CWelcome.aspx?lang=e

I also had a question about this too. My ceremony is scheduled for September 16th. Do we just complete the registration on Elections Canada right after the oath ceremony? Given how long it has taken to get to the oath I'm still a bit skeptical on whether it would be possible to vote but do their systems update all the information and share it with Elections Canada right away? I feel like I will do all this, show up at the polls and with my luck they'll tell me that I'm not eligible :D

You should be able to vote on the 20th if you become a citizen anytime before that. Registration happened in less than 1 business day for me. I registered to vote on the eve of my oath ceremony after business hours. The next morning, the registration was approved.

DO NOT VOTE LIBERALS.

well, my citizenship date has *just* been changed to earlier, but still only after this election on 20 Sep. I understand that Elections Canada barely works with IRCC, and Liberals have little to do with the non-elected bureaucrats running IRCC. What is at face value to me is I could have been naturalized by now and voted, but I can't today. I call this voter s*ppress**n, and I can't say for sure for if I need to vote for any party, and I don't have to vote for the one that was ruling when IRCC accepted me.

Didn't want want to make a new thread, so piggybacking on this one.

Do I need to carry my citizenship certificate with me on the day of voting?

Any ID would do if you are a registered voter. If you become a citizen, say, the day the election is being held, and you haven't been registered yet, a citizenship proof and an address will probably make the process easier.

Another piggyback on this... My partner has ceremony on May 30th. The original poster said they registered to vote when not yet being a citizen because they knew they would be one on the election day. Is that not voter fraud?
I understand he can vote without registration on the election day, but it isn't specified anywhere whether he would need a certificate of citizenship which usually comes in mail in around a week. I understand that even without the certificate once you send back your signed pledge you're a citizen, so... can anyone clarify this?
 
Anyone has any ideas on this? Can one vote being a citizen, not registered, but not yet having received the certificate?
