A minor outside Canada can take the oath before a foreign service officer?

Hi everyone, I was reading in CIC's citizenship operational manuals and came across this statement: "A minor outside Canada can take the oath before a foreign service officer" on page 15 of CP-4 Grants (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/cp/cp04-eng.pdf) under section 2.26 Taking the oath. Does anyone have an idea what this means and whether or not it is actually done? Thanks.

Please, does anyone have an idea what this means?

I have seen this too but I haven't heard of anybody doing it. If you would benefit from your child being able to do oath at an embassy, I suggest you ask the embassy in your home country if this is done and under what circumstances.

Thank you Leon, I'll try calling the embassy.
