I moved to US recently for my wife's cancer treatment(It's a clinical trial only available here). Is there a way to attend the Oath outside Canada? It's really difficult for us to travel with the short time frame? I did not expect that our application has been processed so quickly. Does anyone have IRCC emailid or IRCC contact number to request the oath ceremony outside Canada Or Can I use webForm to explain my situation? If I send an email today, how long will it take to get an answer? Appreciate all your inputs. Thanks.

You will get an email with the formal oath letter. That has instructions on what to do if you are out of country/want to reschedule.

I don't think you can attend outside Canada since you need to cut your PR card during ceremony. Best bet is to email them and reschedule.

IRCC does allow you to take the oath from outside Canada in exceptional circumstances. Your situation might qualify for it so best would be to write back to them once you get the formal oath invite.
If your request is approved, you can apply for passport while in US and will need to wait for it to be delivered before you can return to Canada. Alternatively, Canada allows to enter the country using COPR/ Landing papers but only if you cross through land borders.
Hope this helps.

Once you receive your oath letter invitation:
There will be some info there that you can send an email too regarding your situation. Asked if you can go for oath outside of the country as your situation might be something they can work on.

Good luck and hope you and your wife are doing ok .

Hi,
Done with my test today. Unofficial score 19/20.
The test was not that simple. Too many true or false questions framed in a confusing way.
My question is, how long does it take to receive an email with your score post you submit the test?

Thanks

I got the email with the unofficial score right away after the test, but my online tracker was only updated after about a month.
Some people get their tracker updated as soon as a day after the test so there's no specific pattern.
