Like the previous answer states, US Passport holders cannot apply for the special authorization unfortunately, only a number of other type of passport holders whose country is visa exempt to enter Canada.

No prob. Applied 9 days prior to flight back to Canada and received that same day the application was sent.

Hi there, Yes! Everything worked out. Just remember that it only works if you have a visa-exempt passport to enter Canada. Here's my update thread I did with details...

Hi everyone, I'm gonna leave this here for your reference. I'm sure some of you will need such information. My wife had a plane ticket to the US for the holidays before even getting a date for the citizenship oath. Then, we got the date 4 days before her trip. I did some research and found out...

Oh ok! I think there might a catch though. My US visa says "permanent resident of Canada". I obtained it some years ago as a PR. I don't think they would have a flag or anything in their system saying something like "ding ding, this person has just become a citizen of Canada". I guess I'll have...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has ever entered the US after their oath ceremony, but, using their non-Canadian passport (considering that your first country lets you have dual citizenship) and a valid VISA in it? Btw, I've been in a very tight schedule and couldn't apply for an urgent Canadian...

Hi there, Has anyone applied for a passport after receiving the e-certificate in an urgent matter? I would assume that personal traveling purposes–holidays–would not be accepted as urgent. Thoughts? Experiences? Thanks

Hence why my question. You probably don't know what I'm talking about. The question I'm asking is not for Canadian-American citizens. According to the Canada website, people with dual citizenship (excluding Americans), and with a passport from a visa-exempt country, can apply to a special...

Hello there, I've been reading the forums here but still haven't found a single person who has actually done the oath for citizenship days prior to a trip, and applying for a special authorization as a dual-citizen with a passport that is visa-exempt to fly back to Canada due to not having...

Hello there, I've been reading the forums here but still haven't found a single person who has actually done the oath for citizenship days prior to a trip, and applying for a special authorization as a dual-citizen with a passport that is visa-exempt to fly back to Canada due to not having...

Oh that's nice. My oath is tomorrow. My trip is on the 27th and coming back in the first week of January. I also asked to receive an e-certificate rather than a physical copy–apparently it takes 2-5 business days to get. I don't think a trip to celebrate the holidays could be used/applied for...

Hello there! I have not experienced this. I'm actually on the same boat as you. I have travel plans days after my upcoming oath and considering to apply for the special authorization once I'm abroad. Have you done it yet? If yes, how was your return?

I just remembered that my PGWP expires starting July... I'll apply for a BOWP as soon as possible. What would happen if my current permit expires while waiting a response for either my BOWP or PR?
