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.
I had a virtual ceremony btw and they still gave me an e-certificate, anyways, if you insist clearly that you want an e-certificate (if that's what you want) they should oblige.
