    That's the general consensus on here, that closed application equates to certificate being mailed out, but some people have expressed that wasn't the case for them. Mine was closed on the 27th but was mailed on the 26th, so go figures. However, you can actually call IRCC and the agent should be...

    Thanks! It was with Halifax office. Based on my gcms notes, my file was moved from the St. John's office to Halifax in March, and that's when I started seeing movements (like test invite).

    My final update: I received my certificate today. It was mailed out on July 26th (same date as my oath). I'm just happy this process didn't take 27 months as advertised. All the best to everyone in this group :)!!!

    When you are registering during the oath ceremony, you can ask the agent if they can send it urgently. It isn't guaranteed (as is everything with IRCC), but the agent can make a note on your file for the certificate to be mailed as soon as possible.

    In the oath instruction PDF, it says: "If you recently moved but did not provide your new address during registration, please include it in your reply email so that we can send your certificate to the correct address. In the future, you don’t need to tell us if you change your address." So I...

    Usually a week or so before the oath date, you will get an email with the instructions.

    No problem! I also listening (and reading along)to the audio book was helpful for me to retain information. The hardest part of the citizenship test experience is taking picture of your ID and yourself.

    To be honest, reading the book twice is more than enough. I was so over prepared (YouTube 400+ questions, Apnatoronto, Richmond library, toronto public library etc) and the practice questions were HARDER than the actual test questions. The questions were so easy (if you read and understood the...

    Self representation at Hearing Date or Lawyer?

    I used a lawyer (quite costly but was worth it in my opinion) but I don't think legal representation is a must. It may depends on the complexity of your case and a lawyer can assess your case and help you navigate the process. During my hearing, my lawyer was helpful in clarification in my...
