Has anybody picked up the citizenship certificate directly from Montreal office in 2022? If yes, please share your experience here with processing time after the oath.
I have my Oath on May 6th and want to get hold of certificate at the earliest, so I am thinking to ask the IRCC officer at the time of Oath if I can pickup my certificate in person. But I also want to get the insight on the process and duration MTL office is taking to provide the certificate.

Thanks for your support on this forum.

Montreal office
I am scheduled to pick the certificate on June 15th. I completed my oath last week (May 27)
In my tracker, it's all completed, Not sure I can go earlier and pick it up...
Any suggestions.

Did you guys were able to pickup the certificates in Montreal?
I received an email saying to pick it up on June 27th, but I would like to go on June 23rd but I am not sure if it will be possible.
June 27th is a Tuesday, June 26th is a Monday and a holiday for public services in Quebec, so I was thinking that the documents would be already done on the Friday before (June 23rd). It makes sense on my head and it is kind of logic, but I know that sometimes the logic does not applies to the immigration department.
Did they checked if you guys went at the exact date they asked to?

Why not go for a digital certificate?

Well, I did not know that we have the option to chose. I was just told that it would be on paper and that we can pick it up in person at the office at a given date.
Is it possible to do that the change after the ceremony? What did you do?

@andj14 You won't be able to pick up the certificate earlier than mentioned date during ceremony.
I asked them when I went to pick up my certificate and I was told that only mentioned date person would be able to enter the building for pick up the certificate.
