Got an answer from MLA David Eby that the issue has been resolved and we can now use an e-certificate as supporting documentation with the Vital Statistics Agency.

I will get to the press, great idea, thanks!

Hello everyone, I would discourage new citizens from choosing an e-certificate based on my personal experience (at least for now). In August 2023, I fulfilled the Canadian citizenship requirements and received my citizenship certificate. I was presented with the option of selecting either a...

Hello, just got my paper certificate yesterday by mail. So, 6-7 days waiting.

Thank you, that's what I did. The local IRCC got back to me and promised to send the paper certificate by mail in 2-4 weeks. That's good, but then it makes no sense in offering e-certifcates at the first place if they are not accepted by some gov agencies. I also sent an email to MP to see if...

Thank you, that was helpful! I'm preparing an email to the Vital Stat Agency explaining the situation.

Hello, Just wanted to write that I do regret choosing an E-Certificate of the paper one. I applied for the change of name and now after months of waiting the Vital Statistics Agency replies that their policy doesn't allow them to accept e-certifictaes and I need to CHANGE it to paper one if I...

If you did your Oath on Aug 14 then 2-5 business days means you should receive it until Fri Aug 18

Hello, I got my e-certificate and went to local police department to get fingerprints for the change of name. They needed 2 pieces of valid government-issued identification (one with a picture). I handed them my DL and the print out of my e-certificate and they asked for the original. I told...

Congrats! You will probably get two emails soon (I got them in 2 days after the tracking site update). One is with the e-certificate download instructions and the other - with all the details of the oath ceremony. It might be a Zoom ceremony so you'll get a zoom link, id and password, seat...

Hey! Yes, I downloaded it yesterday

I've just received my e-certificate! It feels like my 8-year journey of "Immigration to Canada" has reached its conclusion. I became a member of this forum years ago, initially engaging with Express Entry, later transitioning to Family Sponsorship, and now, I've successfully reached the...

yes, it says to wait for 2-5 business days

Hi! It seems many people are able to download their certificate the same day as their oath. My oath happened yesterday but I can't download it yet. Should I wait for2-5 business days as stated in the email? Anyone had the same thing? thanks. I need the certificate urgently, that's why I'm asking

Thanks! I got both emails 2 days after my Citizenship ceremony changed to "In progress". I recieved the e-certificate email first and then, couple of hours later, got the oath email

Thanks! It was good, took 1.5 hours overall, most of it waiting in the common Zoom room)) I initially applied for the e-certificate and they just asked to confirm

Hi everyone, Sorry, might be a dumb question, but is there anyone that I need to inform about the citizenship once acquired? Let's say, my HR manager or my bank? Besides voters registration. You know how we do when change the address.

Trying to log in to my tracker for couple of days now, but it's always on "Loading". Not that I need to track anything in particular now that I have my oath tomorrow. Just curious. Thanks!

got the e-certificate email followed by the oath email. It will be via zoom

I think the email will provide instructions whether it's online or in person. Will update here
