I just checked and they have given 3 months grace period and you get charged no penalty for that . But I will surely consult bLS in person when I go to make get my urgent service Canadian passport .
January 2019 - Citizenship Application
- Thread starter Rockstar16
- Start date
Note there is a difference between getting citizenship and getting passport. Refer: https://www.blsindia-canada.com/renunciation_ppt.php
If one gets a Canadian passport then the grace period does not apply. Under this circumstance you need to apply for Indian eVisa.
However post the Oath, if you don't get a Canadian passport you can travel to India on the Indian passport but later cannot get into Canada since your PR card is taken. This is a catch 22 situation.
I think the options would be
1. to postpone the oath to avoid the situation or
2. get the Canadian Passport and apply for Indian visa.
3. If you have time get the Canadian Passport then surrender Indian one. Finally get an OCI. But for this you should provision about 1.5-2 mts.
Yes I am still waiting for the test invite from Mississauga my application was received on Jan 18
That’s very good info . But I am not going to India . I am going down south for a week. So was just wondering.
Ok. In that case you can fast track your Canadian passport request after your oath and travel on it. wish you the best.

Can apply 2 days after oath and get it overnight for $110 extra. On top of $160 for a 10 year one. Sometimes they even do it same day.
But then I got my oath date after 2 months from test which is much much more normal. I told them about my travel at test, but honestly doubt it made much difference if you look at average Test to Oath times and with Christmas in there...
You can bring one guest. Additional ones will be allowed if space otherwise they’ll have to wait outside.

I think with a few exceptions I've seen almost every office accused of being the slowest nation-wide... Brampton is another popular one, Montreal I've see a thread where someone took 18 months and someone took 6.Yes, same here. Kitchener seems to be the slowest office nation-wide
As it's now been over 12 months I'd recommend calling or logging a web form asking about the delay and seeing it there's a specific reason given or if your file has just hidden under the dust. Good luck.
What happens after decision made shows up in the website?
Should we receive something by post or by email and also, there will be a communication after that or there will be a communication only when they will send us an invitation with a date for the oath?
Thanks for the info
