No physical mail. Soon after leaving Canada I updated my residential address to my overseas address so that it was up to date, but I still had a Canadian mailing address. However, all updates and communication came through the tracker and via email.

See the timelines I posted. I was back on January 18th and oath was 19th.

You'll be sweet. I'm collecting my passport on Monday 29th (travel booked on 30th, had to provide the details) making it seven business days from my oath to passport.

Took two hours in person (walk-in) in Montreal today. Express processing, ready for collection Monday 29th.

Vancouver.

Mine was ready the same day. Ceremony was 9am PST on Friday 19th and I checked later that night and it was available to download.

For urgent/express processing does the passport office call you to say it’s ready? I don’t currently have an active Canadian number as I’ve been living outside Canada and wondering if that will be an issue?

That's what I did when I received the passport request. Every page of my current and expired passport that also fell within the 5 year period.

That;s quick! Was it a virtual or in-person ceremony?

Sure thing. Interview covered: Confirming current residential address (I have been living outside Canada) Show passport, PR card, Canadian ID Asked what I do for a job Physical presence - I applied with ~1078 days so they wanted to know that I was confident in the accuracy of this number, asked...

Regarding that, all it says is: If you are not currently in Canada, contact us as soon as possible in order for us to reschedule your ceremony. Indicate “Outside Canada – Oath of citizenship” in the subject line of the email. Within the text of your email, include your name, application...

Mine still says "not started" for ceremony and no ghost updates. Fingers crossed it's close!

Did you select e-certificate or paper certificate when you applied? It seems now some people (me included) receive e-certificate instructions before receiving oath invite. I'm not sure if that's the case for everybody though. My LPP was complete on Jan 5th and I received e-certificate...

What processing office are you? It seems it's not unsual for it to take 4-6 weeks after LPP to receive oath invitation, plus it was the hoidays during the last 4 weeks. Did you receive e-certificate instructions yet?

Thanks! Wow, that's a very quick turnaround between oath ceremony email and the ceremony itself. I just received my e-cert instructions and currently outside Canada so I'm trying to figure out my return!

Congrats! Did you receive e-certificate instructions before oath invite? How long were you waiting between e-certificate instructions and knowing your oath date? Thanks!

Today I received email instructions for downloading my e-certificate (5 days after LPP). Does the oath invite usually come soon after or can there still be quite a delay?

Pretty happy to be at the stage where I'm checking this thread! :D Physical Presence Days: 1097 Application sent: Feb 27th 2023 (initially Vancouver office but I think it moved to Sydney) AOR: March 16th Test complete: May 25th Passport copy request: June 2nd Interview date: January 3rd (was...
