June 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[sahinriza]

I just attended the citizenship ceremony and the officer has told me there is no way to personally pick up the citizenship certificate. I will have to wait for Canada Post. (I traveled outside of Canada only for 2 weeks).

Is there anyone recently received the certificate and can tell how long it did take?

PS. I have just activated Canada Post Autmatic Tracking. Hope to receive it soon, sooner than I expected.

Are you also registered at the SCR office? I am sorry to hear that and hope you will hear back from them soon. I assume you have e-mailed the oath form after the ceremony.
The tracker has been updated this morning as to show the application status is CLOSED.

Can any 1 advice when may I have official Oath email? Is it just 1 week before? What to do if I don't have the Oath email?

Also would like to know if the Citizenship certificate is received by Canada Post or any other courier. I have my mailbox tampered, just worried if the postman will hand over directly and require sign?
Can we apply for passport after Oath immediately without Citizenship certificate?

Any way we can expedite Citizenship certificate?

When you receive the Oath invitation e-mail, reply back to them including that you need an urgent certificate with a valid reason.

Before the ceremony you will register with the guidance of an officer. Tell them if you could personally pick up the certificate from the IRCC office. (It actually did not work for me - Scarborough office).

You cannot apply for the passport without the certificate as it is a required document for the application.

The certificate is sent by Canada Post and left in your mailbox, rolled up if necessary. They do not require signature. However, if you request urgent certificate, I think they use Purolator.

I just received the Citizenship Certificate yesterday. I see it was mailed one day after the oath date (pretty fast) and it took 2days from SCR office to Toronto.
This morning I went to passport office at 74 Victoria St. Everyone was pretty helpful and I will hopefully pick up my passport on 9th of November, 1 day before my flight.
They also want to see the flight ticket and note down the flight date/time and flight number.
