Anybody else still waiting for background check? It is frustrating and ridiculous. I receive aor on October 25th and on the same day a request for policy clearance (which was not even required because I didn’t stay in the same country for over 6 months continuously). I sent the policy clearance on the same day. Received an email from agent last month that they have received the clearance and it is in file. Everything is still showing in progress!

If we attend an in-person ceremony, will we get the certificate at the ceremony? I just got an update on my tracker of Jan 12 ceremony but not yet got the invitation email. I am not sure if it is an online or in-person. I have to fly out of the country on Jan 29, so I am worried if I can get a passport in time 
When was the tracker updated ? Usually it takes 2-3 days to get the email after tracker update.If we attend an in-person ceremony, will we get the certificate at the ceremony?

In-person you will get certificate after the ceremony if you selected paper optionIf we attend an in-person ceremony, will we get the certificate at the ceremony?

For e-certificate it's same 2-5 days
We are in the same boat. I sent a police certificat of my original country in my application (sent on Sept 19 and AOR on October 31) even if It's not obligatory since I came directly from my original country and have never left canada. I don't know what they are cheking exactly in my criminality status (Security is already done) hhhhhh
. I don't know how many weeks the office need to get a canadian police certificate.Congratulations for the completion of your Oath in a timely manner!!
But, trust me, no explantion is sufficient for those who are hanging in there for a long time.
I am sure there are many who were ahead of you till LPP, and for them it's natural to get frustrated.
The elaboration on ceremony details plus the office efficiency would not make any sense to those folks.
Goodluck all who waiting in the queue
Thank you! I chose e-certificate actually. Can I reply to the invitation email to request a change to paper if I get an in-person?
Thank you, much appreciated!
And yes, you make valid points.
All the best to you regarding your application.

That would get refunded. Citizenship application processing fee already includes cost of citizenship certificate. If not already refunded call IRCC and they can initiate the refund.
