Hello, what is the proper way of updating the home address while the application is processing? Through Webform? https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

When I tried using the Change Of Address option: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/introduction.do?app=coa doesn't seem to find my record somehow:

We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons:
  • Please be sure the information you entered is correct and then try again.
  • This service is only available to clients with applications in process. We may have received your application but not begun processing it yet. The following link may help you determine if your application is being processed:
    Application Processing Times
  • At this time, you may use this on-line service if you have:

    • applied for a citizenship certificate (proof of Canadian citizenship);

If I am travelling outside Canada while my Canadian Citizenship is under process do I need to Inform IRCC for my absence or not necessary ?

If it is a short holiday, you'll be fine without informing them. Officially, you'll need to let them know if you are going away for more than two weeks in a row. See here:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/after-apply-next-steps.html
If you'd like to inform them, it is your choice. They may or may not suspend processing when you are away - can't say for sure.

Not required as you would have met the physical presence requirement already. You should be good as long as your travel is short, if not, it might affect the way you take your Citizenship test and oath.

Inform them for over two weeks of travel

Received a notice to appear for Oath taking via email today...
Oath Date: December 7-Virtual
FINAL NOTICE TO APPEAR: Apparently, they previously sent an invite, but I did not attend. (I did not receive the said email)
Congrats! Which office processed your application? What's the email that Notice to Appear came from?

OK so I informed IRCC that I am going on Vacation in February-March so what they did is they sent me Test Invite for Dec 12 from Montreal office. Do you think If I passed in first attempt it is possible to get Oath in Jan and Passport in Feb 2023 because I have to travel its a must.

Tracker is still the same nothing changed but I got Invite for the test maybe they will update it once I will pass the test or maybe they want to complete the process and complete the rest later on.
