That works. Just have to continously trying. Their working hours are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time. First and last hour are best times to call them as there high chances that the call gets connected to the next available representative. Apart from these hours, you can try but you just have to be patient.
Hope this helps

You can get information about the processing office either by calling IRCC or by requesting ATIP notes.

I am unable to request these notes, It keeps giving me errors.
Is it maybe because currently I am outside of Canada?
Please advise.

Are the ceremonies now being done in person?

As far as I know, No the ceremonies are still online.

Does anyone know if there is a provision to receive the citizenship certificate on an urgent basis after the ceremony?

Hi all - Everything on the tracker has changed to "Completed" except for the "Citizenship Ceremony". The last I heard was on May 3rd for the Citizenship Test completion.

Best wishes to you all.

Congratulations. I see that you are from NB as well. Did you get your test invite from DN Cit FRD Scheduling / Convocation FRD Cit RN (IRCC) <ircc.dncitfrdscheduling-convocationfrdcitrn.ircc@cic.gc.ca> ?

Cheers

Yes there is. On Oath one of the agent will be handling you like checking your Ids and stuff and you can request that time to agent and they will decide based on your explanation like why you need it urgent.

Update on my UP request. I received an email from IRCC stating the following: "We verified the information you provided regarding your request for urgent processing and have forwarded it to the responsible office."

Hi Guys,
I just received the Oath invitation for August 22nd Vancouver office. Finally happy that this journey is almost over
I wish all the best to the guys waiting. I hope you get your oath invitations soon.

Correct me if I am wrong your Oath date is 22nd August? and you got invite email already. Wow!!
Because if thats the case then you are lucky one. I have seen some people complaining they didn't receive till last day and normally they send only 2-3 days before ceremony.

Hello Everyone,
OTH invitation received on the tracker. Date is 17 Aug 2022.
My confusion
I have scheduled a vacation for India on the 30th of September. Is there anyone who has any knowledge and personal experience about the below question I have please help..
1) How many days will it take to get Oth certificate?
2) How can I apply for an Emergency Canadian passport? ( As I read I can pay 110$ fees and I can get a fast passport in 2-3 days In-person appointment)
3) How to surrender my Indian passport and how can I get an Indian visitor visa in a 20-25 days time period?

Or I should postpone this Oth for 4 months. / Can I ask them to change my date from 17 Aug to the first week of August? I know this sounds funny.....

Thank you

1- Oath certificate arrival varies case to case. Some people get in 2-3 days and for some it can be upto 4 weeks. Depends upon your processing office busyness. But you always can request urgent.

2- In person Passport can be get in same day from Service Canada specific location who deals with express service.

3- You need to process your OCI, I believe with BLS. (I have no idea on this. Its just based on Forum Knowledge)

Postponing for 4 month is not good idea, Just do it IMHO.
