[armoured]

Oh ok, but how do I know which ones are the important parts to read. It's 19 pages long!!

There's no manual. Unfortunately.

I haven’t received any email regarding an extension. That said, it looks like the estimated processing time has now increased to 11 months. Back in January, it was showing 7 months—quite a jump!

yup my atip notes show due date for language determination is Jan 2026

That’s quite a long wait, eh? No wonder they’ve bumped the processing time up to 11 months!

just the invite, no download e-certificate instructions

DId you end up getting the e-certificate instructions?

I have received my citizenship invite letter but NOT the instruction letter to download the E-certificate. The invitation letter mentions the following - "E-certificate download instructions are emailed to you – please keep this email so you can refer back to it after the ceremony to access and download your e-certificate." However I have not received any such email.

Is it normal to get the download instruction letter after the invitation letter OR should I call IRCC Call center regarding this? Experts - Please advise.

Did you. end-up getting the email with download instructions?
