    I went for urgent processing without flight booking because I will be travelling by car. I provided the paid hotel booking for the coming Monday and the clerk asked me to complete a statement on why I needed the passport to be processed urgently. Really thought I would have to cancel the trip...

    Just want to let you know that I went to Service Canada in Scarborough around 1pm today and was able to get served because I had my hotel booking, I will get my passport on Monday next week. There was not many people queuing so might be worth trying walk-in.

    No worries, I know a lot of us wondering how long it takes. I had to cancel my passport appointment tomorrow because I doubt it would arrive on time and it would be better for someone else to take that slot.

    No, they just send out using regular Canada Post service. You can’t choose the courier.

    I sent an email to the ceremony email address and they said the certificate was mailed out on August 18 via regular mail. They took their sweet time for sure.

    I read a few posts and they said the certificate would be mailed out when the application is closed, maybe it’s not the case then. I’m hoping to get it soon so I don’t have to cancel my trip

    I’m in ON, where are you? Wondering if people in MB have received their certificates or perhaps the office is just super slow.

    Had my oath today, it is possible to do in-person pickup. However unfortunately my oath was done by MB office and I am in ON so couldn’t pick it up myself. Hoping the certificate would be delivered before Aug 26 but it seems unlikely to me.

    No, everything was marked completed on July 18 so it’s considered “Decision made”. You will have to wait for citizenship ceremony to be in progress.

    It took me 8 days from Decision made to oath invitation then 3 days to get the ceremony email. But it would be different for everybody.

    Getting the citizenship is more important for me so I don’t want to postpone my oath. Not sure how long the new oath date would be. Hoping to be able to get the certificate before my passport appointment so I can ask for urgent processing. Second option would be travelling by car, I heard it’s...

    I got a passport appointment on August 26 so was hoping to receive the certificate before then. My oath date is August 9. Plan to travel on September 2 because I haven't seen my family since 2019 and they couldn't get the Canadian visa so we are meeting in Boston instead. I will send an email to...

    I’m wondering if it’s worth emailing them now to ask for in-person pickup. I got the oath instructions but it’s from <IRCC.DNMBSKCITCEREMONIES-CEREMONIESCITMBSKRN.IRCC1@cic.gc.ca> So it’s not Scarborough office where I reside…
