Hello,

I received an email asking for my travel history from my physical presence dates that I had provided last year. Should I reply back to the same email with the pdf / photos and is there any particular format should I follow ?
Please let me know with your inputs.
Thanks in advance
I believe the instructions will be in the email they sent. Typically thet say "reply to this email with the documents" or something like that.

Just include your full name, UCI and the application number in all communications so it's easier for them to look up and also include the list of documents you're attaching for context.

Rescheduling Oath ceremony can takes from 2 weeks to 2 months. You can certainly travel to your country but if your PR card is expired when you are out of country you cannot travel back with that . You either need to fly to USA if you have visa and enter Canada through land border or you have to apply for PRTD from your home country . Processing time depends from your visa country. I will suggest you to postpone your travel plans . Also you can apply for renewal of PR card from inside Canada only. You don’t need valid PR card for Oath ceremony.

As I told you , you can submit application for renewal of pr card but you still can’t return with Expired PR card . You have to apply for PRTD from your home country. Processing time for renewing Pr card is 93 days now . I’m not sure about how long it will take for urgent processing. Also you can’t take Oath from outside Canada and you have to have valid Pr card to return to take Oath in Canada.

Finally received the update on Oath ceremony in my application tracker. Admin, can you please update the tracker with Oath Letter Date as 11-Nov and Oath Ceremony for 21-Nov. I can see it in my application status but yet to receive an email from IRCC.

Does anyone know how long does it take receive the email from IRCC for instructions for Oath ceremony? Also how much time does it take for Citizenship certificate to arrive? I believe we need the citizenship certificate to apply for our passports?

Instruction email should come mostly a week before your Oath ceremony.

I friend from Vancouver office got it around 3 days after the oath, quite fast. But I'm not sure even that same office is as fast with all the certificates.

Since my last post in late August, I did decide to request GCMS notes in October.
Since then I've gotten Physical Presence & Language Skills updated (on November 8th).
Still waiting for Prohibitions for the past 10 days but hoping my application's completed soon.
