    Special Authorization - Travelling after the oath

    Congrats on your oath! The timing would be a bit tight for you. From my experience, I got my e-certificate on the 3rd day after the oath (4th is the oath; got it on the 6th morning). Then I applied for the passport with express pick-up. The staff didn't check the flight ticket and asked to pick...

    Special Authorization - Travelling after the oath

    Hi there! I actually ended up getting my e-certificate and passport done just in time before my trip. I think it should be okay for you to apply for the special authorization overseas as long as you've received the e-certificate. The only thing I was worried about before was that the border...

    Mine is MC. I suggest calling the IRCC to check if your form has been attached to your profile. When I called on Wed, they said my form was attached but not reviewed yet. They assured me that the 2-5 day countdown starts from when the form is attached, not when it's sent. Interestingly, I got...

    Mississauga Citizenship Applicants

    I took the same oath on Dec. 4 for Mississauga, and I sent the signed form immediately right after the ceremony. I called this morning, and the agent told me that the processing office received my form yesterday (Dec. 5) and it's attached to my profile but not yet reviewed. Turns out, that the...

    Special Authorization - Travelling after the oath

    Hi everyone, I have a trip coming up a week right after my potential oath date. I hold a passport from a visa-free country (dual citizenship) and I'm wondering if it's okay to apply for the special authorization as stated on the govt. website...

    Opting for in-person ceremony

    I have the same thought too – I prefer an in-person ceremony instead of an online one. I honestly wouldn't mind rescheduling the ceremony to a later date if it can be an option.

    Same here, my oath date is Dec. 4 as well! Not sure if it's in-person or virtual – waiting for the instructions & email. I'm travelling out of Canada for my best friend's wedding during Christmas. Considering the Mississauga office is infamously slow, I may reschedule it for after my trip -...

    I completed the test yesterday (Oct. 31) and also got the 2 GUs when I checked my tracker after. Is that normal? I wasn't sure if the GUs were before/once after I finished the test.

    In the same boat - I have my background completed on Oct. 18 but have not yet received any GU or test invite (It's still "Not Started" on the tracker). Not sure if I should be worried or not.
