No, it’s virtual, my processing office is Ottawa but the Niagara Falls office is coordinating this ceremony for us.

Not sure whether it’s going to happen, I am travelling from US for this ceremony on Monday morning .
Hey hi, so your oath ceremony is going to take place or did it get cancelled? We are also in the same boat - need to travel from US for the oath but have not received any official invite yet. Have the oath ceremony on 28th april.

Yes, I got the cancellation email as well for tomorrow. Really dissapointed. Any thoughts on what happens next or endless wait ?
Am so sorry - we have reached Calgary. Nothing yet. I won’t be surprised if it gets canceled 15 min before :( beyond frustrated

Just got an email about event cancellation for the 25th. How frustrating and incompetent. It’s even more difficult Cz after all the pains we took to come to Calgary from the state side, the event is cancelled and will be rescheduled asap? I highly doubt asap part. The time, money, unpaid vacation leave (1 week) taken has gone waste. I doubt if public will remain silent after this.

I told you they were on strike, sorry about that.

Sorry to hear that, even my non refundable tickets are the loss to me.

I emailed IRCC this morning and asked about my ceremony on the 27th, they said as of now it's not cancelled and it could potentially happen if the strike is settled.
I'm worried I'll end up flying to Toronto and my oath will be cancelled at the last minute :(

Hello!
I was supposed to have my oath on 26th April at 1015 Niagara office. I got a cancelation email today 24th at 215pm. Am so sad. I have pending travel plans in Mid May and wondering what to do..!? Niagara office wasn't very accommodating with rescheduling the ceremony .
