Hello everyone,
I applied for citizenship and oath is scheduled for Jan 12/2024. I was travelling to back home on Jan01. But as my oath is scheduled, I can extend my ticket to jan17 as i have to attend the wedding on Jan 18.
My question is
Can i apply the passport on the saturday(jan 13) in urgent category and pick up on sunday (jan14) or monday (jan15)?

If somebody went through same situation then please share your experience?

For passport you need certificate. Are you sure you will get it next day?

You can't necessarily count on receiving your certificate on the same day or the next day because it happened to someone else.
It may take a few days even if you tell them that you have a flight.
5 days is definitely tight. Doable if you are lucky, but tight...
Also, you may want to consider an alternative if IRCC takes too much time with your certificate : fly to US and cross the border by land on your way back, or apply for the passport from abroad before you come back...
