NM, I was able to download it

Hi do you get an email or notification when you are good to download e-certificate? Or we just have to keep checking the portal?

Online application submitted: July 19, 2023
AOR: Aug 17, 2023

Congratulations @canada_dreams85. I had my virtual oath with mississauga offics on Nov 3rd and my clerk was MB. Did you had the same clerk? Also do they send an email letting you know that certificate is ready? Pls advise.

Mine was on Oct 24th with the same clerk, still haven't received the certificate and I've to travel in the next two weeks to attend a wedding. Had I known that it will be this late, I would have postponed my oath.

Thanks @rmp0930 . In our case, the clerk was MC. We received our certificates exactly 5 business days post-ceremony. On the 5th business day, we received an email with instructions on how to download our e-certificate.

Did you specify in your application form you want to receive e-certificate? I hope you did not opt for a physical certificate.

This was same as my clerk. You got urs quicker than me. I had to wait 11 days

@canada_dreams85 so I am now confused because before the oath ceremony I never received any instructions to download certificate. So after the ceremony ended on the same day at 3:45pm I received an email with CIT0090.pdf which stated instructions on how to download e-certificate. And at 3:52pm I sent the signed oath form. So should I be expecting another email once certificate is ready?

@AnonyKaty who was your clerk at the time of ceremony?

@AnonyKaty who was your clerk at the time of ceremony?

I had agent KO.

So as I mentioned above I had Agent KO. But maybe it would be more helpful to know what is your current concern. That way I can share info that may be relevant from my citizenship grant journey.

My clerk was MB. The reason I am asking is because I mentioned specifically during the interview on the oath day that I have travel plans in end of Nov, and agent told me I should receive the certificate within 2-5 business days. And before oath ceremony, I only received an email for Notice to appear and never received any email for downloading e-certificate. I sent them an email before oath that I haven't received an email with instructions to download certificate. I only received that email after my oath ceremony. When I log in into the IRCC portal, it says:
"There were issues submitting your form. Your e-Certificate is not available. Please try again 2-5 business days after you provided your signed Oath of Citizenship."
So I have no idea what to do next.

Yes, I had received instruction and everything before the oath. But as soon as it finished and I sent oath form, nothing since then even after multiple emails and webforms later.
