Today everything except Citizenship Ceremony is marked complete. I haven't received the email yet but the portal says that I am Scheduled to attend my citizenship ceremony on 14th February 2024.

But I have a problem. I am travelling to India on 21st March 2024. I opted for a physical citizenship certificate copy. I feel that I wont have enough time to arrange the documentation to travel before my travel date. There is another problem, as per my Indian passport, I only have a first name and I am certain Canada will put my name in the last name field. My travel agent said its not possible to change the name on the ticket (Air Canada) and they will not let me board if the name does not exactly match my travel document. I am planning to postpone my Oath Ceremony once I receive the email.

Any suggestion or experiences are helpful. Thanks.
