July 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

[Rameshvs30]

Hi
Has anyone here applied for citizenship and left Canada?
Does anyone know of a requirement that one has to be resident in Canada for a period of time immediately before the interview?
I and family don't have a Canadian license or Health card because they have expired. Will this have an impact on our interview documentation or is that only to establish identity? We still have pr cards and our British passports.
Thanks for any advice and hope everyone is safe. Cheers.

this doesn't need people gathering, but the Oath Ceremony need. So, it is hard to say when, it will take time for sure.

Guys, I have some exciting news to share. I just checked eCas and apparently I was sent a notice to appear for a ceremony on June 5. I am in Calgary and my original date was March 16th originally. Now my question to you guys is, does anybody know whether it is virtual or real? I did not get any email yet. I saw somebody named izz83 got a virtual ceremony invite (June 2) in Edmonton. If you can please shed some light or have any other information, that will be highly appreciated. [Cross Posted in different threads].

Good news indeed, my family was scheduled for March 28 so hopefully we are close behind you. Nothing on ECAS yet.

Looks like only Alberta has restarted the oath ceremonies. So dates of original ceremonies may not matter, would depend on the local processing office. Good luck!

We're in Calgary like the OP so I was assuming they will reschedule based on original dates.

I am pretty sure it’s gonna be virtual, hopefully GTA offices can handle it as well, but we have much more applications versus the prairies

Virtual ceremonies may actually help the bigger centres. Depending on how its actually done there could be more people in a virtual ceremony than can be accomodated in a room at the office.

The only question is I read multiple times here that the law prohibits IRCC from having virtual oath ceremony, in the lack of an actual email (nothing in spam), I dunno whether it is physical or virtual. Guess I have to wait until tomorrow so that I can call them!

Did you call the IRCC this week?

Please point me to the law that prohibits virtual ceremonies.

Finish my citizenship test and interview Feb 6th, no news so far.
Hope everyone is safe here.

I was February 10, also still no news. They told me it would take 2-4 months to verify land crossings, and then the pandemic happened...so I have no idea where it is in the process now.
