Can we submit the passport application on the same day on the day of in-person oath?

Some members reported that ceremony officials will tell you that you can use your citizenship certificate a couple of business days after you receive it, for the purpose of applying to a passport. You may still try to do so on the same day but dont be surprised if passport office tells you that you need to wait.

On mine they said the same. Claimed we wouldn’t be on record yet and to wait for 2 business days.

Finally My days on this forum are about to end. Today I completed my Oath.. It went smooth. My PR card is cut and I sent the oath form and got a receipt of acknowledgement Waiting for the certificate now. Overall it took less than 6 months from AOR and 7 Months from application.

I got the invitation to apply for the passport via the Citizenship to passport pilot program and since i don't need to travel anytime soon submitted my docs via that option.

Its been a great journey from my 2021 when i landed on WP, got PR and now Citizenship. I cannot thank the lord and my Parents blessing enough.

Did u receive acknowledgment right away ?

Applicants should wait at least two business days after the ceremony before applying so there’s time for the new citizenship status to be confirmed in government systems. They told us at the ceremony.

Acknowledgement from the Oath office yes probably few mins.... The Vancouver office confirmed they received the Oath Form. It was automated but there was confirmation.
