What to take in the citizenship ceremony?

[PMC89]

Hello everyone,

Trying to finalize what I should take for the oath ceremony.

In the invitation letter they mentioned

All of the original documents in your possession – Immigration Record of Landing (IMM1000) or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM5292 or IMM5688);
 Permanent Resident Card (if you have a landing document and a Permanent Resident Card, you must bring both of them);
 All original passports and travel documents in your possession (current and expired);
I do have a COPR that I got during my Permanent Residency and was signed by an officer during my landing at US/Canada border. I also have a valid PR Card as well as all my current and expired passports.

1) But which one is the landing document? I don't think I have that.

2) Also is travel document the same as PR card?

Would highly appreciate some information.

1) COPR == Landing Document. However, there were much older landing documents issued, way back (eg. IMM1000) . That's what they mean, as far as I am aware.

2) No, that's already been required. Travel document would be anything other than PR card or passport, such as Refugee Travel Document etc.

If you are not sure, take everything that you have....

As @zardoz observed, your CoPR is your "landing" document. PRs who landed before the early 2000s were issued a different form attendant landing and becoming a PR.

While citizenship candidates (you are no longer an "applicant" but are a "candidate" once you are invited to take the oath) may be asked to show any of the documents referenced in the invitation, the vast majority are only asked to show and submit their PR card. The PR card must be surrendered.

The PR card is NOT a travel document (even though many casually refer to it as a travel document). It is a status document.

Beyond that, this list is generally the same documents that were requested for the Interview (PI Interview attendant test event), and thus, for example, the same Travel Documents (all passports or other types of Travel Documents, such as a special TD issued refugees or as might have been issued by other countries) that were referenced in your citizenship application and you were obligated to bring to the Interview, any passport or other travel document that was at all valid or could have been used at any time in the five year eligibility period OR SINCE. But, again, the vast majority of citizenship candidates are NOT asked to show these at the oath ceremony (should bring them, just in case, but that is just-in-case).

Otherwise: CONGRATULATIONS and Celebrate. This is now the enjoy-it-phase, no need to worry phase (other than the logistics of showing up on time . . . which can be a bit stressful for some, but this is one event worth orienting the whole day around, if you can).
