I applied on Jan, I'm currently taking the test. I have a very long and expensive trip to Asia this June. And I wish to close my Canada apartment, and move to Asia. Alternative is spending a lot of time here, paying a lot of rent here, and flying back just to grab my passport.

I'm just worried about my citizenship process and my passport. My guess is I might have my passport by June, but most likely I'll be at the end stages of application, like Oath Letter/Ceremony by then.

1. Is it a problem if I do the steps: Oath Letter Date & Oath Ceremony while out of country? (I have VPN if needed)
2. Do I need to be physically present in the country for any upcoming steps?
2. Is there any negatives of applying for my passport from an embassy in another country?
4. I'll basically be a tourist in this country and do not know any Canadians or any local authorities that can be my Guarantor. Any suggestions there?

Thank you

For attending Oath ceremony whether its virtual or in person will have to be when you are physically present in Canada
After the ceremony you need the citizenship certificate which takes few days or few weeks to be delivered in Canada or US. IRCC will not deliver it outside of these 2 countries

Does it matter if I use VPN? This sounds like a formality if it is virtual?

After the ceremony you need the citizenship certificate which takes few days or few weeks to be delivered in Canada or US. IRCC will not deliver it outside of these 2 countries
So I cannot obtain a passport without the citizenship certificate?

Follow up question: If I leave the country and come back 6 months later, they'll be able to ship me a citizenship certificate and I'll be able to obtain passport then?

I don't think they check my PR while leaving Canada?
But I guess I cannot come back in?

You cannot obtain passport w/o certificate
IRCC does not run a personal concierge

You can leave Canada on the existing valid passport of your home country but cannot return to Canada

So the best course of action would be to contact them and delay the Oath if I am in that step and out of the country. I assume I can postpone the Oath for like 6 months?
Once you request them to postpone the Oath they will ask you to provide details on when will you come back.
There is no guarantee that they will schedule the Oath when you come back as I said about IRCC does not provide concierge service..

can someone enlighten me, what is the guarantor required for ?

if you have your citizenship certificate, do you need a guarantor for first time passport issuance ?
