Oath date: 17th October 2022.
Oath office: Winnipeg
Certificate: Not received yet.

Called 1800 so many times, they said wait 6 weeks. No action they can take.
This office is a utter disaster, I am so frustrated!!
Hi your entire situation made me so frustrated and angry i have no words. I am heading the same direction. I thought i could sign a relief after my oath but its far from that. I called ircc to request if they can expedite. They told me, to wait 6 weeks before even trying to call them because A- its not their area of expertise. Certificates are handled by the respective offices and teams and B- I should keep emailing them my itinerary.

At the same time i am furious to find out IRCC put your number on some block list if you call them more than once. I called them for the first time last month when my oath date disappeared. I have never called ircc prior to this. In the last two days i tried calling them soo many times and i would get the same recorded message. Then I decided to call from a different number and boom call went through. This is ridiculous and absurd! .

also how tardy this entire system is doesn’t look like i will be able to travel until spring because passport office in my area already told me there’s a backlog on the expedited passport applications as well! This is just so sad! I am so sorry for us!

I had to call from a different number to get hold of these people.

Look at my post history buddy, you will see what they have done to me so far! I missed my sibling marriage too and had to cancel flights as well. I told them this during oath as well and provided proof too, nothing. No fucks given!

Not necesarily. People who did oath with me, same day same office same time. They got their certificate in 10-12 days without asking it urgent or anything. Just normal timeline. My case is super special that I am waiting until today. lol

Don't lose hope so soon, you only did it on November 4th.


What does your online status say?

Online status - everything completed except for citizenship ceremony in progress. Could you please share how many emails you have send them and if you have received any response?

same oath office on Nov 8. Ceremony still in progress. In times like these one can relate to the saying “big government is bad. Government is inefficient. Paying more tax won’t necessarily lead to a good outcome”.

No worries mate. We are here to help each other.

Just email them and ask. Ask at email id where you sent the oath affirmation and then. Include the initials of the clerk to whom you would have sent the oath form.

All the best.
Thank you! I emailed to confirm the oath form had been received and it was on 26th Oct.... if the Certificate isn't here in the next week I will email, I don't have urgent travel plans and so will wait the 4 weeks before getting frustrated with the process (yet again!)
