the one that we submitted Initially with the application is good enough?
I'm not sure what you mean by the above question, but you certainly need 2 new passport photos to apply for a passport. Your photos must be taken no more than six months before the date you submit your (passport) application. Application for citizenship grant and application for passport are two different procedures.

Can someone tell me do i need to take more passport photos or the one that we submitted Initially with the application is good enough?
Your photos must be taken no more than six months before the date you submit your (passport) application.
Besides, Passport Application photos are of different sizes (than the ones used for citizenship Application).

Hey guys i got my oath ceremony done on Friday 31st august at the mississauga location. I will be applying for the passport on Wednesday 5 sept. Can someone tell me do i need to take more passport photos or the one that we submitted Initially with the application is good enough?

Thank you guys
Citizenship and Passport applications are different ,they are two different govt agencies ,
you have to submit all the data and photographs as per passport application checklist.

Hi all, silent member here. Here are my timelines:

App delivered - Nov 20, 2017
AOR - January 10, 2018
IP- January 23, 2018
Test Invite - April 25, 2018
Test - May 15, 2018 (done in Scarborough)
DM - May 16, 2018

No Oath invitation yet.

I called last week to inquire and the gentleman on the phone mentioned my file is now in Mississauga but they haven't scheduled an Oath invitation yet.

I have my cousin's wedding mid September overseas, It seems I won't make it to the wedding ...

Anyone in this forum did the test on May 15th in Scarborough (or has similar timelines)?
Hi folks,

With relation to my timelines above, which tracker should I refer to?
Is it https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16cfQUVB3j56QktacolbsAxpNlOrvk2uFGZzm_ZFCnfg/edit#gid=1791859454 ?

Also, I live in DT Toronto but did the test in Scarbourough and my file is now in Mississauga. Which City in the tracker should I refer to that matches my case? And would it be under 'November' where I should look?

The web site for oath ceremony dates http://www.cic.gc.ca/citcer/search-recherche-eng.aspx#resultList
does not seem to be updated !
Nothing is shown in Scarborough....
Any idea??
The recent trend has been Scarborough applicants are being invited to take oath at the Mississauga CPC. This is what happened to my file as well.

In some cases, CPC-Scarborough is scheduling "express" oaths, a day or two after the test. These are conducted in Scarborough, however don't really show up on that list. From what I can garner, these are cases that were delayed and are close to the 12 month mark. However, there doesn't seem to be a proper system in place, or none that I understand personally.
