May 2026 - Citizenship Applications Time Line

Received my email invite for November 25 ceremony, in-person.
I had selected e-certificate hoping for virtual ceremony, but no luck.
I'm just confused if I'll be getting the e-certificate or a paper copy. Email says e-certificate, people online say everyone gets paper copy at the in-person ceremonies.

Received a tracker update on 29th October for the oath ceremony at 27th November, however, still haven't reiceved an email.

Called IRCC yesterday, they weren't helpful at all, just advised to wait until 19th November and call again if I don't get the eamil until then.

So currently I don't know if it's in person or online ceremony.
