Congratulations. Take 1 set of your citizenship application (photocopy), PR card, CoPR, Passport (valid & expired), any other Original documents that you have and most importantly the Oath Invitation letter. Basically take everything that you have, just to be safe!

Arrange for someone to take photos of you during the ceremony!
Have a great time tomorrow! :)

May I ask what all do they actually check before the oath ? I'm guessing PR card, COPR are a must. Do they really go through old passports and citizenship application again ?

I'm only taking what the oath letter tells me to bring. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I didn't take a complete copy of my application. I don't think they would even need to look at that. They have the actual application.

Do they ask for anything other than the invitation, ID, PR card, and COPR?

I honestly don't think IRCC expects us to bring a copy of our submitted application. They have the original with them, as well as everything is recorded on GCMS. It's probably just a precautionary suggestion.

I received and invite oath letter.
Never bothered reading it aside from my name and date of oath.

I remember It mentions somewhere on the letter to bring what you brought during your test and interview. Because that correspondence now collects dust in my safe. So it may not hurt to be over prepared.

In Montreal during mine, they only checked my identity in the passport. And obviously the PR card which is taken away.
The only other document needed is the signed oath letter.
They spend 1 minute max per new citizen. Time includes giving you some goodies.

Hi all,
I did my oath in Saskatoon this morning, there were 67 applicants from 18 countries, they took PRC and media coverage letter (permission to take photo form) and checked Oath invitation letter. The ceremony took around 90 minutes.

My oath invite instructs me to bring:
- invite itself
- two IDs
- all of the original documents submitted with the citizenship application - Immigration Record of Landing or CoPR
- PR card
- all passports and travel documents in my possession
- holy book of choice (optionally)

3rd request is a little weird, but manageable.
