They asked my wife about e-certificate themselves during oath ceremony on May 31st. Although they haven't yet sent the instructions for her to download the e-certificate.

Ok so it doesn’t mean that you get ecert after 24 hours !
Did your wife mentioned any urgent situation like a confirmed travel or emergency to provide her ecert option.

or Ecert became a choice for everyone ?

No, she didn't say anything. They just asked her themselves during the ceremony if she would prefer a paper certificate or an e-certificate. She told them she would like the e-certificate.

I mailed my oath office (Niagara Falls) at the email in the oath affirmation form (same email you receive the oath invite from) and requested that I would like an e-certificate. They replied positively. I would suggest you do the same and not wait for the oath ceremony to request it with the clerk. During the oath ceremony you can just remind the clerk that you have opted for the e-certificate.

I received email with download nload instructions on June 2. Then on June 3 i got update that my oath ceremony will be on June 21.
i was hoping e-cert would be downloadable within few hours. when would i be eligible to apply for a passport? Thanks.
All experience shared before points to 2-3 days after the oath ceremony.

Took mine on May 10. About 1 hour for registration and allowing everyone to join the main room, and another 1.5 hours for the ceremony.
