I don't think us Sept 22 folks fall in this. This petition only mentiones applications for 2021 and early 2022.
"We, the undersigned, urge IRCC to take immediate action to address the backlog of citizenship applications submitted between end of 2021 and first half of 2022."
its more 2022 applications, I believe second half of 2022 are moving normal, but you are still welcomed to sign and support who are stuck and might be stuck later on!!
Got e-certificate just one day after the ceremony. The instructions to setup the portal was sent prior to ceremony (some folks got this after the ceremony when it was ready for download). Did not have any issues setting up the portal or downloading the e certificate. Kids were also included in one of the parents portal.
