    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    One week from today, we'll finally become citizens. It's been a very long road. We started our journey to Canada in 2011, and we first arrived as temporary foreign workers. Myself, my husband and my then three year old daughter. Then, in 2015, we became permanent residents, but because my...

    My husband, daughter and I were all on the same application. We've now got the virtual ceremony invites, but I can't tell if we can attend the ceremony together, via the same device. Anyone know?

    Got the official invitation emails today. In exactly three weeks, we will finally be Canadian citizens after 13 years in Canada and 10 as permanent residents. I'm sure it's going to be a great feeling!

    I'm in Drumheller, which is about 1.5 hours outside of Calgary. We would have had the in-person ceremony in Calgary, too. Nothing happens out here in the sticks! I wasn't TOO worried about it, though. Once we'd gotten the in-person invite, I knew all the other stuff was approved, so it was...

    Just got our virtual ceremony date update on the tracker. August 8. Which is exactly one month after the in-person one we had to request a change for.

    We just got the emails to download our citizenship certificates. So, since I had a ghost update tomorrow, and it's Wednesday tomorrow (update day usually!) I am expecting to get our virtual citizenship ceremony invitation tomorrow, or at least this week.

    Just got a ghost update. Still waiting for our virtual ceremony. Hoping this means it's coming soon!

    Well, today WOULD have been my in-person oath if I didn't have to change it. Unfortunately, I did. Still waiting for a virtual ceremony.

    Well, Tuesday would have been my in person ceremony. As much as I would have loved to attend it, my younger daughter (born in Canada) is autistic, and there is no way she would have sat still for it. It's in a city that's 1.5 hours away too, so we would not have had care for her there. I...

    I'm in Alberta. Closest to Calgary, but not CLOSE to Calgary!

    Have you heard anything yet? I still haven't, and my tracker is still showing the old in-person date of 8 July.

    Starting to panic a bit now. Our in person ceremony invitation was for July 8, and that's still showing up on the tracker. We requested a virtual ceremony, and they confirmed that they were rescheduling, but we've heard nothing since then. Surely it would be easier to schedule virtual...

    Ugh. I wish we didn't have to ask to change it, but there was just no way we could make it work in person. I sent the web form on Monday, so I am hoping to hear something back from them soonish.

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    So, we got the email saying they were switching us to a virtual ceremony and then... nothing! We had to change it, because I have an autistic daughter who is born in Canada, but who would NOT have sit through the ceremony, and since we're 1.5 hours outside of Calgary, we wouldn't have had...
