I just received e-certificate email instruction from IRCC, but no update on tracker yet.
Completed oath today - for some strange reason they said it will come after the oath - we have sent our oath forms right away - still nothing - let’s see tomorrow. It is indeed strange why everyone else gets the email earlier while our batch is still waiting - I know another person who has also not received - if there are any others from todays 815 am batch - would be good if you have any updates.
I have a friend who had his at 10.15 am. Same story like yours. Will update if he gets his.
Update - received the portal details late evening and was able to download the certificate too. But others in our batch are still waiting - so not sure how they are processing - hopefully they will have it tomorrow.

Thanks all for the support - joined the forum in 2017 during PR applications and it has been immensely helpful - but this is not the end!

Hello All,
My husband and I have been scheduled for oath on July 26th and we filed our separate applications. Can you kindly let us know what to expect during the ceremony day? Since our applications are different do we need to use two different systems to join the session?
Also, how long will the session last? What all to expect during the ceremony? Will we get e certificate immediately?
Thank you in advance

if both of you are invited to same ceremony, you can join using 1 session and enter seat numbers like Seat 1. seat 2.
Sessions are 2-3 hrs long depending on people attending the ceremony. most of time spent is waiting in room waiting for your turn for registeration
unless you were given option or e-cert, or you requested same, you will get paper cert.
you can ask clerk during the ceremony if they can switch you to e-cert. or you can send them email before hand asking if they allow e-certs.
Thank you for your response. This is such a great reply. Even though we both have filed different applications( single online) can we use the same session?
Yes - if you have the same date and Zoom session in your oath email that is fine. My wife and I were in a similar situation last week. We applied online separately but we’re sent invites to the same oath session. We logged in from 1 machine and had both seat numbers entered on the display name. After the oath we even sent the forms in one single email with both the attachments. You will be fine. Check your oath email - if it’s NGF there is a good chance they have already selected e certificate option - in that case nothing to do. You will get the certificate the same day late evening (as we did) or next day.
