What to understand
The oath ceremony is a formal step after approval. Eligible applicants become citizens by taking the oath, rather than when they merely submit or pass the test.
What to prepare
Review the ceremony notice carefully, bring requested documents and follow instructions about your permanent resident card and citizenship certificate.
Important to know
Do not make travel plans based on an expected ceremony date. Wait for official confirmation and check travel-document requirements.
