Got an email this morning at 5:54
Asking for original pr card to continue processing the application.
Minor applied independently .No need to take a test/ ceremony.
So I am wondering does it mean that the process is almost completed? Coz minors are not subject to ceremony so Cic asked the applicant to mail the original pr card instead.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Waking up in the morning and checking my ECAS has become like a morning prayer routine. First my PR, then sponsoring my wife and now my citizenship. My third immigration application.
Hello All,
Does anyone know how long the Oath Ceremony takes? I'm tentatively scheduled for it at 1:30 in the afternoon late next week in Vancouver (provided I pass the test earlier that day***fingers crossed***). I'm in the Interior and decided to use my last bit of Air Miles to fly, rather than have to drive 5-6 hours each way (gas prices are so high!!) and get a hotel for at least one night. I would like to book the 4pm flight back to Kelowna rather than the next flight at 7:30 but have no idea if allowing an hour for the ceremony is enough time?
On a side note to those thinking of or needing to move after applying, be sure and make sure you can get your new ids set up in your new province. I moved from AB to BC and then after I got here I found out that I could not get my drivers licence switched over because I have to have either an unexpired PR card or citizenship grant document as my primary or foundation id. Without the drivers license, I can't get my vehicle insurance and registration changed to BC and I can't enroll in the Medical Services Plan either. They won't accept the Confirmation of Landing document as they had a change in law last year. I asked the clerk if they realized that the PR card was a travel document and not required and she was quite surprised to know that as was CIC when I explained my problem. Due to the timing requirements for new residents, I had applied for a PR renewal card but this sort of an issue is not accepted as a reason for urgent processing for the card so I sent off a request to CIC as a last resort explaining the id problem and got a call a few weeks later that if I could come to Vancouver and take the test (and pass!), I could take the test in the morning and Oath after lunch.
The PR card was sent almost four weeks ago, but has never arrived and I can't claim it as lost until the first week of April but that is after the time requirement for me to get my BC id and vehicle switched over so now I will be studying the Discover Canada book even more so that I can do the test and oath and then get my BC id and car stuff done right away.
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I could use some help on the Oath ceremony question and thought my unexpected id issues after moving might be helpful to some.
Warm regards to all

I don't know about the ID stuff but for oath ceremony usually it takes around 2 hours as per what I have seen in this forum. So probably taking next day flight will probably be a good idea.Hello All,
