Hi October applicants - I am traveling outside Canada in June.

Current status is that citizenship test has been completed- last ghost update was beginning of March.

Based on everyone’s progress, is June too ambitions to have a passport?

Hmmm. Not crazy ambitious, but definitely slightly ambitious/cutting it close in my estimation.

Assuming that going forward, everything goes 100% routine, smooth/at a decent pace with your application :

• If your flight is in Early-June i think it's gonna be tight, but possible to make it work. You might have to get your passport on urgent processing - with a confirmed flight ticket as proof of upcoming travel
• A Late-June flight could work out.
• But if your travel is flexible/non-emergency, my suggestion is to consider planning your travel for mid to late July for now, just to save yourself the worry/headache of constantly thinking about this over the next couple of months.

In addition - Either ways, i would suggest to book 'fully refundable/flexible' tickets, so you're not out of $$$ if any one of the stages of processing or your passport processing/delivery takes longer.

Obviously there's no guarantees (coz everyone's LPP situations are different and oath ceremony wait times seem to vary quite a bit by location). This is just a guess.

Good luck !
