Yes, I’m planning to come and attend the oath ceremony on 21st but I’m not sure I’ll be able to get the passport in a week. I need to join at work on 27th August.

I was thinking of taking the oath and flying out of Canada next day. My family member in canada can collect the citizenship certificate and mail it to me. I can then visit the Canadian consulate and get my passport issued. Was wondering if anyone else has done this and if this could be a possibility?
were you able to be at the ceremony?

You can opt for e-certificate and based on your 27th travel plan, you can go for Urgent pick-up by end of next business day or Express pick-up of 2 to 9 days.

Greetings everyone, 2 weeks back, I had a scheduled test slot from mid-July to mid-August. However, last Friday, I received an email from Ottawa office stating that my test has been canceled as I recieved the invitation due a technical error in their system. Has anyone else experienced something similar, or is this an unusual occurrence?

I had oath on 20.July and they offered me an email certificate which I accepted. Still haven’t received it.
How long does it take usually?

The second one is the right one.
As I understood this is another portal acc. Am I right? How/Where to get the sign-in code?

> Follow the letter’s instructions to download your e-certificate.
If you applied online for a citizenship certificate, the letter in your IRCC secure account will tell you to create an IRCC portal account. These are 2 different online accounts.
To download the e-certificate, you must create an IRCC portal account(opens in a new tab) .

Did you get the code to create the account? If you have applied for visitor visa for your family, it's the same website and they reuse the credentials for e-certificate too. You don't need the code in the second case.
