Hi Friends, is there anyone who had their virtual oath on July 28th at Mississauga ON and still waiting for your e-certificate? I got an email on July 29th to create my IRCC portal account but when I click download it shows that my e-certificate is not ready yet. I kept checking for 5 days already but still shows not ready yet. Anyone have the same issue?

I would say to just send an email to the oath return email id once again with the Officer's Name or short name. That's what i did today. I don't know whether my email worked, I didn't get a reply but I sent it today morning and afternoon I was able to download it without the tracker not being updated/closed. But since the office is closed and it's a long weekend try this next working day.

Mine is all in progress except test. So frustrating and nothing we can do while many people who applied in 2023 are getting their oath invites.

Thank you so much for your advise! I tried to resent my oath form yesterday in the morning and got my e-certificate later in the afternoon, it works!

Hello! I applied in July 2022 as well, to all who received an e-certificate, where you selected in the pilot program or is open to anyone now? Am still waiting for my ceremony invitation as well, updated on my profile though...
Thank you

I don't know when it started but I took my test in April 2023. I have ordered GCMS notes. Are CBSA notes more helpful?
