    First passport with new legal name, but old name on IDs

    Just an fyi, I updated my OHIP today, and I walked to ServiceCanada to ask them if I could use the paper version to apply for my Canadian passport. The answer is no (it could be yes if I have travel plans!) But the good news is that I only need my OHIP with the updated last name + marriage...

    RESCHEDULING YOUR OATH CEREMONY

    Hi there! I only mentioned that I was in my homecountry for a family event that was very important to me and our culture, and that I would be in Canada on Feb 18, 2026 so I will be available to join any in-person ceremony starting Feb 19. I think I'm lucky because I heard that GTA locations...

    First passport with new legal name, but old name on IDs

    Yep, I checked. They said that the healthcard is accepted; and if it doesn't have a signature, it will be okay as well if the ID is usually the one without a signature. I think I will call them once I'm back to Canada for clarifications. Thanks again for all of your help! Much appreciated!

    I think it will be paper. How do you know you have an in-person oath? Did you call them?

    First passport with new legal name, but old name on IDs

    Great! Thank you! Yeah, my driver's license will be expiring very soon ; ; So I will need to sit the test, wait for the ID, and change that ID into the new name. I really hope I can just use my marriage certificate to get the new name on the driver's license without having to do the extra step...

    First passport with new legal name, but old name on IDs

    Thank you so much! However, my old passport is still using my maiden name and I have no intention to change it there, so I feel like in my case, I cannot use it

    I think it depends greatly on where you live. People living in the GTA often have their dates rescheduled fairly quick!

    First passport with new legal name, but old name on IDs

    Hi there! I've seen so many of your replies here and all of them are so helpful! I thought I would shoot my shot here instead of creating a new thread. So I will be assuming my husband's last name. I'm living in Ontario. I'm still waiting for my marriage certificate but once I have it, is...

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Yes. I posted in here as well, but they responded the next day and gave me the date of the next available in-person oath. A few days later, I saw on tracker the new date as well.

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Hi, thank you! I used the email address of my local office, which they indicated in their oath email invitation. I suggest that you do the same: read their email very carefully, follow the instructions, and send them an email. It's not really tips, per se, haha, but my email to them was...

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Hi, yes, we need to wait for the oath email invitation, as each of us will be assigned to a different local office. I read somewhere (I think on the website) that we can either send web form or an email response to them; however; email response is preferred! So that's what I did. My reasoning/...

    No, all of the completed statuses are only tracked through tracker, no other way to know. IRCC only sends us emails for: - AOR - Test invite - Interview invite (if needed) - Citizenship ceremony invite

    RESCHEDULING YOUR OATH CEREMONY

    Of course! And yes, you are correct! Each local office is different, and I feel like I'm lucky because I'm residing in Toronto so the reply time is faster. If you are living in a small town, I guess it can be longer! (Just my assumption and guess haha) I hope you receive yours soon!
