Thank you guys! I filled out the request form on Service Canada to request urgent request of the passport yesterday. They called me back today and asked me to come in tomorrow morning with the application forms and proof of travel. I’m paying for the express pickup service (additional $50)...

Finally got my citizenship certificate yesterday. This officially marks the end of my business/journey with IRCC. Good luck to everyone awaiting good news on the applications!

Thank you!! And you probably will get it before the end of the week :)

I’ve been saying this for a while. It really makes zero sense why they use regular mail for such sensitive and important document. Happy for you that you finally got it tho. The line and flatness don’t really matter, as long as the number is legible. Congrats on the end of your journey...

Like, if it was mailed from Vancouver on the 7th I should’ve received it by now. Unless Vancouver is mailing it to to Winnipeg/Calgary office and then from there to my address (which might take another few days). I’ve been sending email to the email address that sent the oath invitation, I only...

Honestly, there’s zero logic or rationale as to how or why IRCC do their stuff most times. When I contacted the call centre, I was told that my certificate had been printed (the agent could see my certificate number, but he said he couldn’t tell me the # for security and privacy reasons. He...

Sure thing!!

It was closed the very next day (26th)
