During my oath ceremony I had asked the officer if there was any way to pick up my certificate or have it express shipped. Sadly, the officer said there is no options like that because it would be unfair to others, however he said if we filled out the papers and sent them on the day of the...

Hello everyone, just wondering how long it took you to get your citizenship certificate after virtual oath ceremony with the Scarborough office? Mine oath is on the 29th of November and I am travelling 3 weeks after so I am hoping it won't take more than 2 weeks receive it. (since I need to...

UPDATE So I have just received my oath invitation email today (Nov 16) for my oath ceremony on Nov 29. Sadly the oath will be taking place online over zoom. (Hamilton Office) Here is the run down: 1. I am still flying out on December 22nd 2. I am not willing to risk postponing my ceremony to a...

I am confused, I am pretty sure I read that it can be used at Service Canada/Passport Office to apply for a passport. As long as I can get the passport with an e-certificate why would there be any issues? I would not have to bring any certificate with me to travel if I have my passport correct...

Hmm alrighty, thank you. I guess I'll try and ask during the ceremony and see what they say.

Sorry to clarify, you got it on the 28th but was that after requesting urgent processing? Or was that just normal processing? My travel is not business related and it is also not due to the death or illness of a family member. So I'm wondering if it's even worth asking? I wish there was an...

Well according to IRCC it is valid proof of citizenship (the E-certificate) and they said it can be used for passport applications but you are right chances of me being in the pilot project is basically winning the lottery. As for the other options, my travel is not business travel nor is it...

You mean fly out on a non-Canadian passport and then request to passport outside of Canada? That sounds risky, I'm not sure I'm willing to risk having issues coming back into the country.

Really? Do you know which offices had in person ceremonies so far? If it were in person it would be a blessing.

I am not sure yet technically. I only know my ceremony is on the 29th because that's what it says when I log into IRCC. It says that the email regarding the details will be sent 2-3 weeks before the ceremony. However, their website does say that in-person ceremonies are suspended until further...

My writing wasn't clear, I meant is there a way to REQUEST it (urgent processing) during/after oath. Not actually getting the certificate. Also as others have mentioned they are testing out the e-certificates (which you get pretty much right after oath) but unfortunately I happen to not be one...

It would be the Hamilton, Ontario location

Hello, I'm kind of in an awkward situation. I booked a flight for December 22nd 2022 before I passed my citizenship test. Of course, I just received information that my oath ceremony is on November 29th 2022 This means I have roughly 3 weeks after my oath ceremony to get my certificate and...
