Hi - I got my test invite and dates are from 1st Jan to 31st Jan. I am out of country and back around 23rd Jan, Can someone confirm if I need to pick a date right now? Or when I am ready, click on the link in the email and login at that time?

Submitted on June 19

Appreciate any help. Thank you.

Simply log on when you are ready. There is no ‘picking a date’.

Is the email generally received 2 weeks before the scheduled ceremony?

My hunch is if the “find a citizenship ceremony near you” page has the date shown in the tracker odds of us receiving the same oath invitation email is high… but that’s my 2 cents take… folks in this forum know better for sure

Yes, Niagara region. I also do not know if it’s virtual or in-person. We'd know once we get the email.

generally how many days in advance we receive email for oath information ( time and link ) ?

my Oath is on 28 Jan 2026 but no email yet
