    After exactly 2 month of waiting (my oath was on August 26th in Ottawa), I finally received my certificate in mail. Cannot believe this wait is over.

    July 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

    Ottawa. It feels so odd to be officially a Canadian citizens and have no means to prove it or any legal status in Canada. Even PR card is not valid anymore. IRCC never ceases to surprise me, not in a good sense.

    July 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

    if it makes you feel better - my oath was on August 26, it's been 8 weeks and I am still waiting. IRCC say that it is still in queue for printing and I have no idea how to affect the process. I am a very patient person, but this helplessness drives me nuts.

    Time to receive Certificate of Citizenship after Oath Ceremony?

    They told me that it takes 2-4 weeks as well, but my ceremony was on August 26th and I am still waiting (over 7 weeks). I called IRCC many times and they confirmed there is no issues on my side and it is in queue for printing, so I have no idea what is going on there. That being said, it is not...

    July 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

    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...

    July 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

    I don't think it works the same way for the certificates as it does for passports. At the ceremony I was asked if I need to travel any time soon and I said yes, that my flight is in one month, so the agent did a note on my file. Then I let various agents know that I need my certificate asap when...

    July 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

    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

    Any virtual oath in Ottawa office recently?

    Hi! Nope, no certificate. So I called IRCC again today, and they said that it is still in queue for printing.... but there is now a note on my file that on Sept 25th they finally downloaded my signed forms. I do not understand why it is taking so long for them to print it when they always give...

    Any virtual oath in Ottawa office recently?

    I don't think there is anything going on in Ottawa IRCC office, as I had my virtual ceremony on August 26th and was told that I will receive my certificate in a couple of weeks. It's been exactly a month, I called IRCC several times and every time the response is that my certificate is in queue...

    Yup. I had my virtual ceremony from Ottawa office on August 26th. It's been almost 4 weeks since then though and I haven't received the citizenship certificate yet, they seem to be really slow. Called them twice, both times an agent said it is in queue for printing, ugh.

    No update from IRCC on citizenship oath ceremony. Next steps?

    I got an e-mail with the invitation to a virtual ceremony between August 20th and August 31st... that's quite a time span. Does everyone get asked for availability within a certain time period first and then is given the proper date, or normally it was an invitation with the exact date right away?

    No update from IRCC on citizenship oath ceremony. Next steps?

    I have a similar problem - I am outside of Canada for the part of the year (my husband is in the US), and the officer told me the same that as long as i can fly back for the oath, it is fine. Although I still have an apartment back there, but I do not think 2 week quarantine restriction for...

    Nice! do you have urgent processing or did you request it specifically? I wonder if they are doing virtual ceremonies for special cases only or you are just a usual applicant

Applied in July 2019, finally got through citizenship test on Feb 6th, and left to join my husband who got a job in the US... got back to Canada in mid March for a ceremony which was cancelled and wasn't able to return back to my significant...

    To Get Married before or after Citizenship application ?

    I got married while my citizenship application was in process, on my interview after the test I was asked if anything changed in my application since I applied. I notified that I got married, but the women interviewing me didn't even care about that at all. My application was approved, just...
