Scarborough office citizenship oath

[anne1234]

Yesterday I received the red oath invitation letter (It is not pink) for myself
I have two questions:
1., I applied for my daughter also, who is minor (16 years old). I didn't received a separate invitation letter for her, and I have no instruction in my oath invitation letter regarding her oath. Do you know guys if a minor children will receive a separate invitation letter? (Her E-cas is updated, showing same day and hour like my oath.)
2., The guests who are coming to our oath ceremony should they bring any ID with them, somebody will check?

1. I think you need to call them, because your daughter is already 16 yrs old. Its mandatory for 14yrs old and above to attend the oath-taking. They will definitely ask for the oath invitation before she gets inside. In my case, I received the oath invitation for my son (10yrs old), separately.
2. You should also ask them about the "guests" because during my interview the officer emphasized that only ONE guest per family is allowed.

Thank you anne. I will call CIC tomorrow. I know that for my daughter it is mandatory to attend to the oath ceremony, my only concern it is the invitation letter for her... Somebody from this forum told me that he doesn't received separate invitation letter for his children... So it is better to make a call ...

Sure.
We were scheduled for oath at 1:00 PM today and we reached STC at around 12:40 PM. Found lots of people already lined up for oath so we joined them. Oath was held in a fair sized hall having a setup of the judge's sitting arrangement and lots of chairs facing the judge. Our signed oath invitation letters, record of landing and PR cards were checked before entering the hall and our invitation letters were marked with seat numbers. Then right after entering the hall you have to throw your PR card in a small basket (just think of it...you worked so hard to get that card you're discarding now!!!), at this point of time, another set of officers checked our invitation letters, gave us maple leaf pins and showed us our seats. They also gave us a book/packet full of informative papers which we're yet to open. There were another pack of informative papers on our seats along with small Canadian flags.
Then the judge came, and we all stood up in his honour. Judge delivered a 10/15 minutes opening comment. Then we read the oath loudly(officers were actually checking if all are saying the oath properly). People who had their holy books started the oath with .."I swear" whereas we (who didn't take any holy book) started it with ...."I affirm". After the oath judge handed us our citizenship certificates one by one and we signed the oath certificate and came back to our seats. Then we sang the national anthem and the ceremony ended by a 5/8 minutes closing comment by the judge. We were also told to check the correctness of all information in our citizenship certificates and we complied.
