I got my citizenship certificate Friday, exactly 2 weeks. Now my question is: If I submit the passport application now, how long roughly does it take to get the passport???

it's been 1 month and 6 days for me and I have not received my certificate from Ottawa office yet. I called them every day this week and every time the response that it is in queue for printing. So it wildly depends on your processing office
Received the certificate?

I have the same question. I had my test on January 8th and my ECAS is still in process. :(
Hi @geriko12, have you received oath invitation?? I just saw in July 2019 Applicants sheet someone named 'Subsidy12' from Winnipeg received invitation on Sep 28 for virtual oath on Oct 6; his/her test date is Jan 4, 2020 so I'm wondering you also might have received your invitation by now. Please update, thanks.

Hi guys,

I received the oath invitation letter by email on Sept 29. The online Oath ceremony was on Oct 9.

Please kindly update the spreadsheet.

Good luck to all!

Thanks,

No, I didn’t receive anything.
I also submitted a web form inquiry 10 days ago, no answer yet.

Received the certificate?
No... today is exactly 7 weeks since my ceremony and agents in the call center still say that it is in queue for printing. I am starting to believe that every time I call them, they put my file to the bottom of the pile. A friend of mine also from Ottawa had her virtual ceremony three weeks ago and she received her certificate last week, so it's not like they are not working there.

I am really frustrated, am I setting a record on this forum for how long I am not receiving my citizenship certificate after the ceremony?... is anyone in the similar situation to make me feel a little bit better?

They used to handover certificates same day for in-person ceremony. I don't know why it takes more than 2 weeks even in current situation.

Hi Guys,

I'm a July 2019 applicant. I passed my test FEB 7th 2020 and my Oath day was SEP 25th. I'm waiting to get my certificate delivered for 20 days now. I called IRCC and i was told that my certificate was sent October 1st and is it normal for shipping time to be so long? Did any one had the same scenario?

Thanks in Advance
