Interestingly enough, today I received the paper certificate NOT the e-certificate which I requested, I never received any link. The certificate itself is printed on a mass-produced paper which is why the print quality isnt good. But I'm not that bothered.

Might be better for others (if they can) to request e-certificate instead and print it on a higher quality paper in colour.
So that's 4 days after your ceremony correct?

I called IRCC this morning, and was informed that I could request a link to download the E-Cert right on the day of the Ceremony.

I've got some travel plans and wanted to have a passport issued asap, for which i was given Passport Canada's hotline number.

They informed me it will likely take 2 business days because some back end work needs to be done prior to the E-Cert download link being issued

Since my Ceremony is on the 8th, (Thursday) the earliest likely date of E-cert issuance is the 12th - a Monday. After that another 10 business days for the PP.

Hope this helps others in my situation!

So today onwards we shouldn't expect any activity until after new years then? I gave my test on the Dec19th, waiting to be updated and marked complete on tracker.
 
Hi guys, I have the following timeline

Type: Online application
Location: Ottawa
Application Type: Family
Application sent: 20 July 2025

AOR: 11 September 2025
Background Completed: In progress
Test Completed:

There’s still no update on BG. Should I expect a longer-than-usual wait, or is this still within normal processing time when compared to other applications? Should I contact IRCC or continue waiting?
