Thank you Scylla and all of you who took time from your busy schedules to respond to me, I am very grateful. I was so worried and didn’t want to lose this opportunity, especially considering they contacted me pretty fast after the results of my citizenship test- in just a couple of days instead...

Perfect, this should hopefully work. I just hope they don’t cause me any trouble at the airport for using the passport from my country of origin to return there after I have already taken oath as a Canadian citizen. That’s because ticket agents at airports often open passports to check for...

Well, if the ticket agents and custom agents at the gates open up my passport from Central Africa, they would see that it doesn’t contain a visa and I will no longer have my PR card considering it would have been cut off during the oath taking ceremony. How then will I explain or justify how I...

Thanks for your response, Steaky. The challenge for me is returning to my country of origin from Canada after the oath taking when my PR card would have been destroyed and my Canadian passport is not yet issued. Even if I were to use the passport from my country of origin to return there while...

Especially given the fact that permanent resident cards are cut during the oath taking- I won’t be able to travel quickly back to my country of origin after the oath taking because I won’t have any travel document.

Thank you for your reply, Jane. I’m in a tough situation and worried that my candidacy for citizenship may end up being rejected or the file closed or resent to the beginning stage which was complicated enough. I asked them last week to reschedule my oath taking ceremony because I am out of...

Hello, Can anyone tell me if there is any time in which IRCC could consider letting someone take the oath of citizenship on Zoom while outside Canada? If someone is out of Canada (staying outside of the country) and doesn’t intend to come to Canada any time soon, could that constitute a reason...

I also wonder if a parent trying to apply for citizenship can include a minor child who just became a permanent resident and hasn’t done a minimum of two years in the country. Wondering if the application for my daughter could be rejected in case perhaps minor children are also held by the...

Thank you guys so much. If the citizenship test can be taken outside Canada, then that is a very good thing. I have one question, please. For me to be able to include my five-year-old daughter in my citizenship application, would she need to have had her PR card already (that is, will I need...

Thank you very much for your input, Seym. That means if I do the paper-based citizenship application, it may take at least a year for them to get back to me with regards to the next steps due to the pandemic and all. I’m a bit worried because I may have to travel to my country of origin in the...

Thanks a lot for your input, CaBeaver. It was helpful. So the test is multiple choice or true/false and taken on a computer, I believe? How many questions are there in total on average? Either way, I will look up some practice questions online. I hear it’s possible to now do the citizenship...

Thanks for your response, akbardxb. If at least the test could still be multiple choice, that would at least be one positive thing, because remembering all of those innumerable dates is not an easy task. I’m in my mid 40s, and my memory and brain are no longer that sharp.

Hello Everyone, I haven’t yet submitted an application for citizenship, but I am currently reading the document to prepare to take the test. I was wondering if any of you could give me a few tips to help me better prepare for the test and to get the maximum out of my reading and what I should...

@bellaluna and @scylla, thank you both so much. I just wonder nonetheless why they would require people to be physically present in Canada when the swearing-in ceremony is done virtually and they can simply mail you your citizenship certificate. I believe you would be required to destroy/cut...

Good morning, Is there anyone here who just became a Canadian citizen fairly recently? If so, did you have to attend a swearing-in/oath taking ceremony in person as a new Canadian citizen, or was your citizenship certificate mailed to you? I’m just curious with this covid issue going on. Based...

Thanks for your contributions, @abbas.pasha and @scylla. This whole thing is therefore more complicated than I thought. Canadian immigration law seems to be a bit unfairly hard on spouses, unfortunately. Would it therefore imply my wife would have wasted her time becoming a PR if she ends up...

@hawk39 Thank you so much for this very helpful information. It’s a complicated situation. I may have to contact an immigration lawyer for definite answers, though they ask for money for everything. Unfortunately, my country doesn’t accept dual citizenship, but I do intend at some point to...

Hi, I was wondering if someone with good information can clarify me on this. I have two questions. I am a Permanent Resident of Canada for the past 3 years and my wife and daughter just became landed immigrants (permanent residents) last month. Due to the fact that my wife has a job at a company...

One of the main reasons why I asked the question was because most new immigrants (landed immigrants) are directed to a section of the airport where they are formally welcomed and given documents to help them get integrated into the Canadian society, so I was wondering if at that section, the...

Thank you very much, @canuck78.
