My journey has come to the end! I'm a proud Canadian now :) I took the oath in Scarborough (I'm a Toronto applicant) last Saturday. The ceremony was long (90 new citizens), about 1:45 min just because the judge asked EVERYONE who was receiving the certificate one or two questions (usually where...

Which Passport Office? I need to apply for my passport and I only have a window of 12 days prior to my trip :confused:

I didn't call and ask for an early date. I thought that by giving them my dates my oath would take longer...

Yes... Scarborough :)

Here is my timeline: We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on October 16, 2017. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on November 21, 2017. We started processing your application on...

October-Scarborough applicants... cheer up! Your oath is coming! Just got Oath letter - ceremony May 12! :)

I called and blocked the weeks I will be out of the country. Hopefully, the Oath ceremony will happen either with enough time to get a new passport or after I come back... finger crossed!

5-days, pretty fast! I already have all my bookings done - it's a wedding so I can't change. But I need to decide if I will be getting a visa or not... Bonche? Lol...

Statistically Significant Sample Size?... Just saying for some people drawing crazy conclusions...

Do you know if we are allowed to get an express passport? Or is this option only for renewals?

Question: Once you are done with the oath ceremony and become a citizen, can you still travel with your old passport/resident card (while your new Canadian passport is being processed)? :confused:

Scarborough

I got it March 21 for a test April 9
