Happy New Year and Happy Holidays to all of you,

I have a question regarding the citizenship certificate. I had my citizenship oath on Dec 6 and my application was updated to completed ( Closed: Congratulations you are now a Canadian citizen) on December 9.

I haven’t received yet my citizenship certificate as of today Jan 2. As far as I know the day when application is updated to completed is the day when one’s citizenship certificate is mailed, but it’s been almost a months since that happened and I I haven’t received my certificate in the mail.

is this normal? Has anybody else experienced a similar situation?

Mine is even worse, oath completed Nov 30th, still waiting. Take a look here, what a botched process. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/citizenship-certificate-after-oath.735545/page-21#post-9884977

Thanks!

I wrote the first time on Jul 31 and it was not accepted due to technical issues. Then had second time by Teams with an officer on Dec 2, decision made on Dec 15. I put the time line in my signature.

Is your application closed? Mine closed on Dec 8. I contacted IRCC and they told me that it seemed like my certificate was mailed on Dec 8, but I have not received it yet. That doesn’t make sense that it takes almost or over a month to be delivered if it is already in the mailing system. I wouldn’t be surprised if Canada post lost it.
it is like the nightmare with IRCC never ends, even when you are already a citizen of Canada.

Yes mine was closed the next day, did you call IRCC ? I will email my oath office on Tuesday, it will officially be 6 weeks from Oath, and Oath letter mentioned to contact them if certificate is not received within 6 weeks.
