You can wait to change the name when you get citizenship. You can also change the name while the application is in process but it might slow things down a little bit. If you apply to change the name after you receive canadian citizenship you will have to apply for a new citizenship certificate...

Mine took 6 business days, normal processing.

No need to.

Might be worth it to just wait it out and gather more days just to avoid any potential issues.

It could take a few days to a few weeks to know and yes they will send you an email.

Good to know! Means passport application can happen next day after oath. Thanks for the reply.

If you hvae more than enough days, you are fine. This happens a lot. The officer will just make the necessary corrections. It's only bad if you have less than the 1095 days.

Congrats! Has your ECAS been updated to complete? Just wondering how long it's currently taking.

If you are able to obtain or already have another passport, you will not be able to apply for urgent processing. Urgent processing is for emergencies like if you will loose a job opportunity due to not having Canadian citizenship. Needing to travel out of Canada for a month will not be a valid...

The 12 month processing time is an estimate based on historic data. They do not guarantee that the processing time will remain the same at all times. It's frustrating knowing that others are getting approval before us in the GTA but at the same time we should be thankfull that this government...

As long as everything went well during the interview, you are on the waitlist for the oath ceremony.

Thanks for the reply!
