Canada scraps online citizenship oaths due to public backlash, keeping in-person and virtual ceremonies.
Canada has abandoned a 2023 plan to let new citizens take their oath online with a single click, citing public opposition and concerns over tradition and process integrity.
The proposal, aimed at speeding up citizenship and cutting costs, faced criticism from prominent figures who argued it would diminish the ceremony’s significance.
While virtual ceremonies with officials continue and have helped reduce processing times to 13 months, the government confirmed it will not pursue self-administered oaths.
Instead, it is updating the 2012 citizenship guide and maintaining in-person and virtual options as part of ongoing modernization efforts.
