Congratulations and Celebrations!!! I also hope to receive mine soon.

Did you receive any acknowledgement email for the oath letters you signed and emailed them? if possible please let me know where you are booking your appointment as I am also looking for something.
Thanks bud,
And no i don't think they're sending any confirmation or acknowledgement email after receiving signed copy of oath affirmation.
I've booked an appointment far away in a small town in rural Ontario for 18th i think. That was the earliest i could get.

Don’t worry. CBSA has all your entry and exit records. IRCC will pull data from CBSA. I don’t know it may or may not consume extra time.

Write an explanation letter and submit police verification details. It will be fine.

Right when i got this notification i was checking all the details and tryna take pics of my certificate lol.
FINALLY!! I RECEIVED IT TODAY.. so the entire waiting game is over now! By the way it came along with two congratulatory letters one from Prime minister and one from minister of IRC.

I had to cancel my previous appointment and have booked another one for next week. Far far away in a small town in rural Ontario 2.5 hrs drive. But it is what it is at this point.
Congratulations... I am still waiting.

Well crap, I guess my luck ran out.

I saw yesterday when my certificate arrived that it had the wrong date on it - the day BEFORE I took the oath. So I emailed to the account I sent my signed oath form... and yep, they've cancelled it and are re-issuing a new certificate. So I guess I won't be applying for a passport today after all :(
My luck is back!

Corrected certificate arrived last night and after seeing no passport appointments available at that time, I looked again this morning and some lovely person must have cancelled because an appointment was open (but not any more because I grabbed it!) for tomorrow :) Quick update to my passport application with the new certificate number and fingers crossed this time tomorrow my passport application will be in.

I’ve got a ghost update on the tracker, but everything other than the test and the background check are processing, and oath hasn’t been updated yet.
I also know that my BG check expires today.
