Hi All,

Finally got the oath invitation. I have a question.
- After the oath, do we have to provide address where certificate will be shipped?
- If yes, can it be a US address? My job moved to US and I relocated in Oct.

Case details:

Applied: Jan 10 2022
Type: Paper
Office: Surrey
Test: Jun 24, 2022
All completed: Dec 30, 2022
Oath invitation: Jan 17, 2023
Oath scheduled: Feb 6 2023
Oath type: Virtual from within Canada

Thanks
I have no experience with this... You can try asking them to mail it to the US. However, if they say it will take significantly longer make sure you have a friend or family's address in had in Canada who can receive it on your behalf and securely hold it for you or send it to you until you are ready. You might want to scour this forum to see if anyone else has successfully gotten the Citizenship Certificate mailed to the US

It says my oath will take place in Saskatoon SK via a video oath ceremony. I thought it would either be Vancouver or Winnipeg. Not that it matters, I just thought it was interesting.

Congrats! Weren't we supposed to pay both the citizenship application fee and certificate fee together? If you haven't paid it yet, pay it now and keep payment proof.

what is your timeline? Did you apply online?

I have one question, does anyone know about the column R in the tracker "Decision Made date ecas estimate"
I can't find my app on ECAS (tried with app# and UCI...), is it only for paper application? will it only appear when a decision has been made?
Looking to the tracker I see when all steps completed people are also puting same date for decision made.
All my steps are completed except for the ceremony and nada on ECAS...

Online applicants do not have access to ECAS. Since all of your LPP is marked as complete, it's equivalent to ECAS "decision made" status

What is the total amount you originally paid? If you did not pay the right amount (less than what is required), they would have returned your application instead of giving you an AOR. If you paid extra, they would have issued you a refund

Hello,
I received email for the oath invitation but I didn’t receive anything to set up as the e-certificate account. Does anybody have any knowledge regarding this.

For people who applied before Jan 4, 2023 only a select few people will receive an invite for an e-certificate pilot. Did you receive this e-mail and agree to participate? If so, wait till the oath ceremony as they may give you instructions there or after that.

If you did not get the invite for the e-certificate pilot or did not agree to participate, you'll get a paper certificate
