Thanks again and stay safe.
Hello
What's the waiting time after citizenship test for oath ceremony? Thank you
Hi Erika. For me it took 7 months ( which is the longest at that time), usually it takes 3-4 months, and these days it’s reducing.
Thank you for the information
You are welcome :) best of luck :)
Hello, how can I reach out to you for further questions. My name is really enjoyed your video, Do u mind if you tell me your advice for young international students who are recently coming into Canada, the best, smart way to get their, PR then move to citizenship ? I would be very grateful If you reply my message.
Thank you, Sayed Ahmad for sharing this information video. I needed it for a research purpose. Appreciated.

Congrats
Congratulations 🎉
Thanks so much 😊
Congratulations! I just came across your video .
Thank you so much @omatseyekelvinalade2217 😃🙂
Thank you for sharing the emotional and moving moment you had. Our Zoom video Oath Ceremony has been scheduled, and we now anticipate that it will be even more touching than we had imagined. I wish you a happy life in this wonderful country.
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment. I was way more emotional than it’s on video. I kept hiding/controlling it. Last few years of hardwork flashed through the eyes and every single time worth it. Best of luck for the ceremony. It will be a great experience. Celebrate it to the fullest 😄
Felicidades🎉😊
It’s interesting to see how the remote oath ceremony works and how Canadians (I am assuming only new Canadians) have to pledge their allegiance to Britain’s King Charles III. Congratulations on your Canadian citizenship. I am hoping to do that in the U.S. soon.
Thanks so much. Yeah inky new Canadians have to do this virtually or in person. Best of luck with US citizenship. Is it like Canadian ceremony?
@@ammad_shah Yes, it’s similar but it’s not remote anymore since the pandemic has more or less ended. I believe there are videos on TH-cam on this subject.
Theyswearr the oath to King Charles , king of Canada! This is important for an American to know Canada has it's own King we were founded by United empire loyalists who fled the American colonies we chose to not be American preferred being under the safety and security of the monarchy we are happier this way
@@susanhassan3755 😂 I don’t think that I can claim a foreign monarch as my own and then pledge my allegiance to him/her!… Thank God for the USA!… No country in this day and age makes their new citizens do that, not even Australia or New Zealand!… I don’t think most Canadians born in Canada would be willing to do that!
@@aheat3036 Australia and New Zealand have their own King - who in fact is King Charles III. It's less about the actual person but the "crown", UK and Canada, Australia etc all have governments and laws which come from the crown. It's basically swearing to abide and be vulnerable to prosecution by the laws in that country.
Assalam o Alaikum wrb
Masha’Allah bro Congratulations 🎈 I am so happy for you
Myself already pass the Citizenship Test and now waiting for the Oath Ceremony Insha’Allah soon 🇨🇦❤️🇵🇰

Thanks Tariq and many many congratulations for passing citizenship test. Inshallah your big day is very close. It’s just matter of a few months now!
I hope you get in person ceremony. Do record it and share with us! Would love to be the part of your celebrations! ♥️🇨🇦🎉
Congrats! 🎉
Congratulations 🎉 bro
Thanks @amnasuleman3047 😊
Congratulation for your new home. this wonderful country deserves this oath. Regards from Halifax.
Thanks so much Ahmad! God bless you
Congrats and awesome video!
Thanks Jayesh 🙏
Congratulation
Thanks bro 😊
I fkn liked the way you waved that flag
Congratulations Syed. Do you remember how long the ceremony took for you in total? Including the instructions afterwards?
Thanks shama. In total it takes almost 2.5 hours. Instructions at the end abiut uploading document takes only 10 minutes.
🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 😃
Congratulations 🎉 could you plz tell me how much time does it take for the whole procedure. Mine is on Monday at 1pm so by when can I expect to get free?
Thanks Navneet! And congratulations in advance for becoming Canadian! 🇨🇦🕺
It takes approximately 3 hours ( not more than that). It takes (first) 90 minutes to get everyone registered (where she is asking me to cut PR card and other details). Next one hour or so is for the oath taking, speeches and other instructions related to signing the document.
Have a great weekend and Monday :)
Congratulations. I have applied for citizenship and received AOR as well around a month ago, but when I am trying to create a tracker account, it is not allowing me and getting this error i.e. Incorrect or invalid information. Review and make sure it matches the information submitted on the Use of a Representative [IMM 5476] form or the Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual [IMM 5475] form. If you can’t create an account, it may be because your client’s application is not in our system yet. Not sure to whom I can reach out on this issue. any suggestions?
Hi. You may need to clear your cache and cookies. Close browser and restart and try for next one or two days. If it still doesn’t work you can contact ircc officially using the web form and attach screen shots of your issue there. I hope it will help you solve your problem.
Congratulations buddy!!!! How long ago did you have to wait to apply for a passport after this? Also, How long did this process take from time of application to test, to ceremony etc. Im about to apply this week, i will have my 3/5 years 😊
Hi! Thanks so much! 😀 and best of luck. For you hardest part is over. Now it’s just a formality and some more wait :)
So if ceremony is online, you get citizenship certificate in 2 weeks time max. ( for in person ceremony you get it at ceremony). After that you can apply for passport and from 2-20 days you get your pad fourth depending upon which fee you pay.
Applied to test these days it’s 3-4 months but when I did it was 1 year wait almost. Ceremony you get in 4 months after test.
Hi Syed, congratulations. Were you asked for your current passport in the ceremony? I have my ceremony coming up and my current passport has gone for stamping.
Thanks!! No need of your Indian passport… just your PR card, driver license/ or health card are required
Thanks 😊
Thanks for watching and liking the video :)
Pls, do I have to connect to zoom at the time that they give me or before it? for example 30 min before it
Hi Lina. The link connects exactly at the given time/ceremony time. Before that you can click the zoom link but you will get a message ( something like) meeting hasn’t started or we will let you in soon… so just click the link like 5-10 minutes before the meeting starts. I hope it answers your question
Thank you very much
🎉
Thanks 😊
What things will we need to prepare before online ceremony ? Like any paperwork
Hi. Thanks for asking :)
You need: 1- PR card 2- driver’s license or health card as identification ID 3- the oath form you receive in mail ( last page of pdf attached) and one scissors to cut your PR card. I hope it will help,
Hi for the ceremony they send a link to Zoom meeting, my question did you have the basic zoom meeting or the Pro one? Because I noticed zoom basic only allow 40 minutes could you please advice
Hi Fatima. I think it will be fine. Zoom allows 40 minutes but if the meeting host has special privileges ( to keep meeting going as long as he can) then the attendee automatically get connected for the duration of meeting. It won’t be the issue in my opinion.
@@ammad_shah thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question
Thanks for the video. Do we need to send the complete signed oath form or just the last page of notice to appear in the email? Also how long was the ceremony?
Hi @amaravadinaveen1552 Just the last page you need to send back. Ceremony will take 2 to 3 hours.
Do you need to print it before? Or if electronic where can you find it?
@emsmcl5137 hi, you can send the electronically signed copy.
Hi sayed, 1 more question, how long did your journey of becoming a Canadian citizen took? Starting from the first day you stepped your foot in Canada?. Please I hope u don't mind sharing that with me?
Hi @dennischiwetaoke2824 I took me 3 years to apply as it was required by law to stay in Canada for 3 years after PR to apply for citizenship
Did you have to sing the anthem? If yes witch one, the short or the one with french? Thanks
Hi. No it’s not a requirement at all. You don’t only if you want to :)
Hi I have a question. I just received my certificate today. Do I need to click two more passport photos now or the older ones I used during my citizenship application would work? Please let me know. Thanks
If they are not taken more than 6 months ago then you can use them. Otherwise you have to take new photos as you are required to mention date and shop name and your name behind them and one of then should be signed by the guarantor. I hope it will help :)
#loveDollarama
Lol I know what you mean bro #loveDollarama 😀
Congrats and thank you for the video. What is the evidence of the destruction of your PR card? Did you take a picture of the old PR card when you send the email? Thanks and best.
Hi Catherine. Thanks and thanks for asking this question. No need to send any pictures to anyone at all. Basically, you just cut it in four pieces using scissors ( so keep it with you that day) and then show it to the officer on ur laptop’s camera. When he/she says ok thanks it means he/she is satisfied.
@@ammad_shah You’re so helpful. Thanks again.
Congratulations 🎉 could you please tell me which one is the fastest to get citizenship certificate from electronic signature or print documents signature? Thank you!
Thanks so much! In my opinion fastest way is to sign electronically ( I did that)
Printing is ok too but it involves taking printout and scanning again. So I chose electronic signature.
Thank you so much
Congratulations bro 😎
I just wanted to ask you 2 questions
Question 1 is about getting birth in Canada to get the citizenship passport for the new born.. is it still working? I mean the baby will get the Canadian passport directly or not any more?..
Question 2: how many years should i stay in Canada to get it? I have heard its about 3 years.. but can i go an com back again or no?
Thank you hope you help me
Hi. Thanks 😊
Q1: yes you get citizenship by birth and there is no wait time for it.
Q2: if you come on PR then u have to stay in Canada for 3 years in 5 years from your first entry to Canada. It means you can leave and enter again in Canada as many times as u like but it should not effect your time period ( 3 years inside Canada out of 5 years).
I hope I answered the questions rightly.
Pls, when email them do I have to write something with the JPG of the signed oath of citizenship form or just jpg and subject that they gave me
Hi Lina, I named my file as “LastName_First Name” I wrote this as body of the mail “Dear Sir/Madam
Please find the signed oath form attached in the mail.
Best Regards
Name:
Application No: “
@@ammad_shah thank you very much
You are welcome :)
Congartulations! How do u sign the oath form n send them back? M so confused
You can electronically sign or take print out sign and make pdf of that and send it as reply to your citizenship ceremony email. Thanks :)
🎉how long it's take after you past the test to get your oath invitation
Hi Patrick! I passed my test on June 17, 2022 and on my application portal my application got approved in middle of January 2023 ( after 7 months, usually it was taking 4 months). I got oath invite in email a week before the ceremony. I hope it will help :) best of luck!!
Hi! What's her 3rd question to you on registration? I barely hear it...thanks.
Hi @shellamaecortez3836. thanks for the question.
So she asked if I had any plans to travel outside of Canada in coming weeks. And then she asked if I ever had any issues with immigration and police inside and/or outside of Canada.
@syed Ammad congratulations, how long does it took for you to get your passport after oath ceremony
Hi Amarnath. So it took me two weeks exactly to get citizenship certificate. I got it on Thursday, applied for passport on Friday and got the passport on Tuesday next week. So in 3 working days I got it. I showed the officer a tentative plane ticket (cost me cad$25) to show that I am flying back home in a week and he gave me passport in 3 days 😃
@@ammad_shah thanks for your kind reply, I have one more question. I have planned to travel US by 17 July and 5 July is my ceremony. And I thinking of to postpone my ceremony is it ok
Congratulations Amarnath 🎉🇨🇦. I would say don’t postpone your ceremony. I don’t know how it works but it will take you a few months to get next ceremony date. If you get your citizenship certificate in a week’s time you can easily get your passport by July 17. But you know your situation and travel urgency better than me so decide accordingly. Best of luck bro and congratulations once again 🙂
@@ammad_shah thank you very much and I really appreciate you for taking your time to reply
You are more than welcome :)
Hi, do you need to take oath in both languages or one is enough?
Hi. One is enough and for French part I just went with flow and they don’t kind as long as you are trying your best. It’s just a formality.
I know Zoom only allows 40 minutes, how did you manage to stay on for 3hrs? Did you reconnect after 40 mins?
Hi Shelby. Zoom allows 40 minutes if
You are the host of the meeting. In our case we are not guest but joining the meeting as guests so we don’t have to worry about this. Thanks
Can u tell me What do we write in email subject to send oath certificate after ceremony .. do we have to write officer’s name as well
Hi Satinder. Thanks for asking.
You don’t write officer’s name but initials only.
You write the following in your (reply to ceremony invite) email subject: “Oath Form for February 15, 2023- 1:00 PM- NZ”
Feb 15 is my ceremony date, 1:00 PM is ceremony time mentioned at top of the invite and NZ are the ceremony clerk’s initials. I hope it answered your question.
@@ammad_shah thank u 🙏
You r welcome :)
What was the duration of the whole registration and ceremony?
Registration took almost 90 minutes ( for everyone/126 participants) then ceremony starts which is like 50-60 minutes
Hey i have a question they updated all requirements for me today except physical presence it still shows in progress. Is It normal one thing is not updated. Please reply if you have any info. Oath ceremony says not started that I understand
Hi jaspreet. Yeah it’s normal. And congratulations in advance 🎉🎉
I had the same update and Next day I got email to send pdf of all the pages of all my passports I had in last five years ( I had only one passport in last five years as it didn’t get expired). I replied to the email with pdf of all pages and in couple of days I got new update on my portal that your application is approved and wait for ceremony!
@@ammad_shah thank you for your reply ❤️
You are welcome! Do record your ceremony and share with us. :)
@@ammad_shahfinally they updated all requirements completed. Waiting for invitation now 😊
Great news! Congratulations 🎊🍾🎈🎉
You will get invite email like a week or 10 days before the ceremony,
Is it in person or online? Let us know :)
Can someone please tell me how long is the whole ceremony going to be ? Thanks
Hi. thanks for asking. So the whole online ceremony takes almost 3 hours.
do we need to sit in front of computer screen for full 3 hours ?
@lalitkishore2395 no but the officer appears suddenly during registration process so you need to be attentive all the time. I myself got up and drank water quickly but never went to bathroom lol. It’s necessary to be on screen when officer is present and ceremony is in process.
thanks dear😊
How do you get the Canadian passport or citizenship after the ceremony?
Hi @Geetha. You reply to the email you get for the oath ceremony and attach the signed oath form in that email. Within two weeks of this you get citizenship certificate in your mail box ( delivered to your home address) you need the certification number mentioned on that to apply for passport ( so you can’t apply before getting the certificate). Once you get certificate you need to fill the passport application and go to passport office and based on the fee you pay you get your passport from 2-20 days.
I thought as per the invite you cannot take picture or video unless they already said you could already. All the more to post it?
Hi. Yeah it’s allowed to take your own video and pictures as long as you don’t take videos pictures/videos of fellow attendees. They mention this before ceremony and that’s y video is only showing me in front of laptop and I am making video from behind the laptop. Moreover, when after ceremony we take picture with judge on laptop, everyone switch off their cameras so that only judges’s face is on the screen and everyone else is hidden.
Hello
Me and my wife together apply citizenship after finished exam and I m got my mailbox in ceremony but wife no any update so what the process of together ceremony process?? Let me know.
Thanks.
Hi Jigar. It’s a bit complicated situation. Did you apply as family? If yes, Looks like your wife’s application is still in process. You need to contact authorities and ask them to have your ceremony together and in that case they will pause your ceremony or delay it to have your ceremony together ( they will tell you what can be done). Please do not just call and say you want to delay your ceremony because in that case they will just assign you next available slot so do mention your scenario and situation. I hope it will help.
Good answer for me but How to contact authorized person?? Any link email ya call number? Please help me.
Thanks.
@@jigarpatel9437 You can give them a call 1-888-242-2100 and they can direct you to the concerned department
@syedammad how many minutes was your oathtaking?
Hi @leniepuza7867 it was like 10-15 minutes approximately. Once in English and once in French
Thank you.
Hello sir, how can I reach out to you for further questions.
My name is really enjoyed your video, Do u mind if you tell me your advice for young international students who are recently coming into Canada, the best, smart way to get their, PR then move to citizenship ? I would be very grateful If you reply my message.
Hi. So as a student after completing your degree you get work permit for a few years depending upon the length of your course. For instance, if you are undergrad student with no work experience, you get work permit and find job, you need one year of work experience to apply for PR, once you get PR it takes 3 more years to apply for citizenship.. so it takes approximately at least 5-6 years for graduate students to get citizenship
@ammad_shah thank you so much, so you are saying that after 4 years of studying undergraduate,
Degree, then an additional 3 years for citizenship right? Making it approximately 7- 8years
@dennischiwetaoke2824 hi. Yes, as per my knowledge goes it’s the case
Hey brother, i m from Vancouver and just got my AOR for Canadian citizenship application like 6 days ago, is there a way i can talk to you like over the phone or something? wanted to get some information TYIA
Hi @aman9686. That’s good, you can ask any question here and I will help as much as I can.
@@ammad_shah ok cool, so after aor how much time does it take for the invitation to take test, i can see for now everything is under process in my citizenship tracker portal
Hi. So for me it took 14 months to get test invite. These days it’s just 3-5 months. Keep checking ur portal as the portal get updated before you get test invite in email ( it gives you more time to prepare test)
@@ammad_shah did you go through the entire Canadian citizenship guide or did some other way ? Also how long did it take for you to get AOR? Like i got mine in 25 days
No need to go through the whole book. I prepared online ( mcqs available on internet) and I downloaded an app on mobile. Keep practicing those questions and you will be fine ( citizenship test is very easy once you do those online/mcqs tests)
Now the wait time is less- I got my AOR ( when I got the online portal link) in 2.5 months
Bonjour
Is it mandatory to have the flag during the ceremony?
Hi. No it’s not mandatory at all. It’s all for your own feel and in email they encourage to decorate room to have good vibes :)
Bring back in person citizenship ceremonies 🙁 it's so important to just be a zoom thing. You need the feel of shaking hands, taking pictures, inviting friends and family, making memories of a lifetime. The liberals are devaluing Canadian citizenship one step at a time. The online citizenship ceremonies undermine the oath's significance. Some folks even have their phones ringing during the ceremony!
Could it agree more. It’s such an important day and in person feeling can’t match anything online. And online you wait for an hour blindly for officer to appear for credentials confirmation. Even online, yet this day has special significance and you feel that at that moment.
Hi can you please share complete details how you get. Citizenship ?
Hi Zahra! Thanks for asking. Can you please elaborate a bit more? Are you only asking about citizenship application or PR to citizenship journey? It’s a long process from getting PR to finally getting the citizenship. Every stage has different requirements. I would love to share information if you elaborate a bit more. Thanks
If you are applying outside of Canada ( from your home country) First you need to get permanent residence and move to Canada. You need to stay 3 years in Canada in 5 years period from your first entry and then you are eligible to apply for citizenship. Once you apply, Canadian government check if you meet all requirements and then grant you citizenship.
Hey can you please share timeline. When was your test?
Hi Jaspreet. I applied in sept 2021, took my citizenship test and finger prints in mid June 2022. I got my application approved in January 2023. I hope this will help. Best of luck with ur application.
@@ammad_shah thank you and congratulations 🥳
@@ammad_shahIt was long process for you. for me less than a year.
Yeah. It was really long for me. Now it’s taking less than a year I guess
I got ceremony email in less than 8 months the day I applied
hey sayed Can you tell me the which Email oath form we have to send back to IrcC and What we have to mention on subject please reply to me
Hi. So you reply to the email, you get your invite from with the pdf attached about ceremony information and oath form ( the last page of pdf). The ceremony officer will tell you the exact subject of the email at the end of the ceremony. I hope it answers the question, best of luck :)
@@ammad_shah Which Email we have to send back the form that's my concern.
@unavi25 reply to the ceremony invite email
Bonjoug
Hi Syed, after you signed . what email do you send to citizenship office ?
The signed oath copy in reply to the ceremony invite. Subject of email will your officer at the end of ceremony tell you. I hope it answered your question :)
Want to work in Canada? We also do Canada PR and Work permit.
In the subject line of your email, What do we write?
Hi Ahmed. The ceremony officer will tell you exactly what to write in subject line. Thanks
As much as this was a happy event, aren’t oath takers being warned of not taking videos especially during the onboarding process?
Hi. No, only other people’s faces are not allowed to show as per guidelines and other than that it’s allowed to record your video. That’s why I recorded only myself and have camera behind my laptop.
Hello how long was the whole ceremony?
It took almost 3 hours
@@ammad_shahomg really?? Thats so long
Yeah! First almost 2 hours, they do registration and u cut the pr card, they do it individually so it takes a lot of time.
If we marry a canada citizen girl, then in how many days will we get the passport means in how many days will the canada passport come?😊😊😊😊😊
If everything goes smoothly ( and you apply outside of Canada) it takes 4-5 years to get citizenship 😊
hey why you have so much flag re ?
No idea bro but I think most of the people ask questions under my pinned comment ( may be)
You are not allowed to record this process .Did you get permission to record ?
Hi. Thanks for you your concern, yes it’s allowed to make your own video and making video of the screen isn’t allowed , it’s mentioned in the document and also told in the beginning of the ceremony.
You didnt need to put your hand on the Quran
Nope: not at all. It’s your free will.
