You are usually asked before the ceremony if you have any travel plans within 14 days of the oath because that's what it usually takes to get the certificate. If you cannot postpone your trip, you should postpone the ceremony.

You have a really good rent price at the moment, ideal to save as much as you can. It is really hard to find anything move-in ready under a million in GTA and surroundings. Beware of townhouses, as they are often managed by strata which adds monthly fees you cannot really control, so on top of...
