My parents gave biometrics for a Parent Sponsorship PR application last year. I am now applying for thier super visa. Do they need to give biometrics again?

Yes i did

Completed my Oath on May 24. Sent the signed form after Oath. Received the auto-response from CIC. Then on May 26 I got an email stating that they are still waiting for my oath form so I sent it again via email and also webform. Waiting now. I am signed up for e-certificate.

I am in a similar situation. Did my oath on May 24 and requested e-certificate on the spot which was approved. I sent the signed oath form immediately after the oath. Next day, early morning I received an email stating that I have been selected for e-certificate. 2 days after the oath i get...

You were already a citizen as soon as you took the oath. Right?

How long after ceremony did you receive the instructions email for downloading the e-certificate?

Canada doesn't care about what other passports you hold. You can exit Canada on any passport. You only need a Canadian passport to enter Canada once you become a citizen. You're fine. Congratulations!

I was exactly in the same boat 6 months ago but opposite. I was thinking of withdrawing my online app and applying paper because paper applications were being processed faster at that time. I am glad I didn't. You never know what IRCC will do next month or in 6 months. Paper applications are not...

Business casual should suffice. Yes, you will get the certificate after the Oath

My office was Vancouver. I got oath from Calgary Office.

As the person above is saying, seems like they haven't cancelled it yet. If I was in your situation with bought tickets, I would respond to them asap and say something like I will be there and then join the ceremony. If there is any confusion on the day of, explain to the clerk during oath. At...

e-certifcate will absolutely work for passport issuance

Did you make the request to the clerk during your ceremony or after your oath via email?

Does IRCC offices allow picking up the certificate in person after 1 or 2 business days of virtual ceremony for Urgent international travel? Has anyone tried this?

Vancouver VO made the decision on my application on May 3 and then forwarded my file to Calgary VO. Calgary scheduled my oath on tracker the next day (May 4)

Your best course of option would be to email the VO. I have seen some cases where people have received the certificate in mail while tracker still remains "in progress"

You are absolutely correct. There is a lot of misinformation going on around this topic. As per Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms 6 (1) "Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada." Charter trumps all laws, regulations and policies. CBSA cannot deny a...
