    I and my cousin applied for Canadian citizenship same day. My cousin received an email and she was given Canadian citizenship oath virtually. I did not receive any email or letter from Canadian citizenship office. Can I expect the virtual oath ceremony for myself or it is over now?

    The universities, colleges, and schools are running online classes because of fear of Covid-19. Many schools, colleges, and universities arranged their graduation ceremonies virtually. Even law societies invited lawyers to bar virtually.

    The virtual interviews and citizenship ceremony concepts are demand of future. It is not over. Who knows these things will become part and parcel of our life. Just wait, you will be ultimately invited for the oath either in person or virtually.

    Update July 07, 2019: B.C. bill could allow digital wills, signatures and electronic witness. This bill has not become law yet. Please check the following link for further information about this bill:

    Dear Ramanpreet

    At present, IRCC is only inviting those people for the Zoom based Citizenship Oath Ceremony who has some sort of emergency like a death in the family, sickness, job requirement or any other urgent and valid reason. They have written or sent emails to all people whose oath-taking ceremony was cancelled due to Covid-19. If you have an emergency, you can write to them with proof of urgency and they will get back to you eventually. No one can predict when things will return to normal due to this Covid-19. Good luck and all the very best. Thanks
