    Seeking advise - leaving Canada after oath

    I just sent them my employment verification letter, in the letter my company states my job start date and job location somewhere in the US. In the email I explained my situation (I just joined the company, I am using up my paid leave etc., needs to travel) and thanked them for the support.

    Seeking advise - leaving Canada after oath

    Sorry I did not even try to ask that. From other forum member's experience, they will ship plain mail to the US and it would take months to arrive. And yeah, USPS is the worst I recommend you stay here for 1-2 weeks after ceremony and make a strong case (solid proofs) to expedite your certificate.

    I think they are really "trying their fast". From my recent communication with the office this month, it seems that the people on vacation are back and things get moving faster.

    Proof of return to Canada

    I got the same message last year. Just tell them your plan (no gaming). Next in your interview AND before oath arrangement they will need your travel plan (or proof of returning to Canada) again. It is better to email them proactively when you are back to Canada, so they don't need to confirm...

    Accidentally used VPN for citizenship ceremony

    You should be fine. Zoom will block you entering the oath meeting if your IP is not in Canada.

    August 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

    My 2 cents: apply for FOIA now, the process is super long and it offers perfect excuse for IRCC to further delay your application. Also in the interview, confirm with the officer whether they want foia or not. The officer may say something like "we are not sure but it is a good idea to request...
