    Congratulations. Your journey is finally coming to an end. I am so pleased this has come to a conclusion. You should get the update for your ceremony soon. Some are within days some take weeks. (mine was about 6-7 weeks from where you are now) However, well worth the wait as soon you will have...

    Can take anything from a few days to weeks. When mine was finally approved and LPP went green I saw many people on the tracker getting oaths and I waited and waited. Eventually my date came through after about 6 weeks of waiting. HOWEVER, the oath was for later that week so it sped through and...

    I used the MP route for my PR application as it was stuck due to an issue unrelated to me but my daughter. They follow strict lines of correspondence. I cannot remember the exact timelines, but the first time I used the MP we got the reply like yours. Very much in line with what you can see on...

    They asked during Oath if I was travelling any time soon? "I said no". They made it clear that you should NOT be travelling out of Canada until passport received as you cannot re enter without one. Made the point very clear and then I cut up my PR card into 4 parts. Received my passport 2...

    What is the date of the ceremony? They don't have to send the invite out for virtual ceremonies until 2 days before at latest (I was told when I was waiting for mine). In the end I got mine 4 days before.

    Two weeks after Oath I picked up my Canadian passport. (Journey finally complete). Once you have the oath completed and certificate downloaded everything else is really simple.

    That is very exciting and congratulations. The tricky bit here is that from now on it could be days, weeks or even months to the oath. I waited nearly 2 months for mine whilst others got LPP way after me had their Oaths weeks before me. I was lucky that when my Oath came through it was for the...

    That is great news. You will get all of the emails in good time and once you have set up your portal to download the certificate it will be super easy after the ceremony. After my Oath on the Saturday (online) I downloaded my certificate on the Sunday and walked into the Passport office on...

    This email was more about creating a PORTAL account and download instructions more than anything else. All the key information for the download you already know (ie UCI/admission number) etc.

He informed me that the email had NOT been sent out yet and they can wait until 2 business days before sending it out for a virtual ceremony. He said, if I...
