Ceremony video and release

Did you have to sign a video release form for the ceremony?

Anybody? Were there CIC or television cameras in your ceremony or was it only for me?

IRCC may at times allow ceremonies to be recorded/photographed. You have the option of not providing consent and they will make alternate arrangements for you. I am not sure if they record every ceremony but it is known to happen.

Here are the instructions - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/canadian-citizenship/ceremony/media-considerations.html

They apparently want your release even if media is not present.
