URGENT: Received oath ceremony request while sponsorship application is in progress for my 8 months child in India

[Kiranmayi]

Hello experts,

Please help me here

I skipped 3 oath ceremony requests due to covid travel ban, and childbirth in India. I communicated CIC with proper explanations with proofs and they accepted to postpone 3 times.

Now I received the FINAL oath ceremony request. I am in a situation where my spouse and child's sponsorship applications are in process and have almost at end of the process. We just waiting for the passport request process.

I heard if I complete the citizenship process now, my son cannot enter the country as PR so the sponsorship application is invalid, and must apply for a citizenship certificate for him.

Can anyone here please help here with the process that I need to follow? Thanks a lot

Well, your kid isn't a Canadian citizen, and won't become one once you get your citizenship, so, no, you can't apply for his citizenship certificate in that situation. What your oath changes is that you can apply immediately for his citizenship, through a naturalization process, once he's a PR, instead of having to wait for him to spend enough time in Canada or apply with his mum in a few years.

Your oath should have no effect on the family sponsorship at all.
