Citizenship Certificate After Oath

[sarvesh90]

I'm completely with you on this and I'm also in the same boat. So many of my travel plans are up in the air now! (I also have a few flight tickets booked)

Did you email the office again with your oath form ? Or just once?

My case is different, I had made a mistake on the oath affirmation form, and they emailed me on Monday asking me to make the correction and respond using the same email chain. Which I did.

But I have not received automated response from the citizenship email address acknowledging receipt. I am not sure if my emails are reaching them or not with the corrected oath form.

I emailed them my oath form just once - on the same day as my oath ceremony. I never heard back from them after that.

When I wasn't able to download my e-certificate for 3 business days, I called IRCC and they told me that they have received my oath form (and that I don't need to send it again) and asked me to wait for 5 business days and then send an email to the office from where I recieved the oath invite. I did that an hour ago using the instructions on this page: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/proof-citizenship/valid.html#e-certificates.

For me, everytime I send an email to the Edmonton office, I recieve an automated reply to acknowledge receipt, but that's about it.

Did they reach out to you about the mistake on their own, or did you have to send them a reminder?

They reached out to me on their own, they responded to my original oath affirmation email, and asked me to correct the form and send it back using the same email chain, which I did. But I am not getting automated responses anymore.

I had my virtual oath ceremony yesterday at 1:30pm at Scarborough, ON office. They mentioned that the system was down. As of now, still haven’t received portal email yet.

You won't recieve any email. You'll have to create a portal account, log into it and keep checking if the certificate is avaiable for download. The portal's URL is: https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/signin?lang=en (right now, it's down for maintenance for a couple of hours I guess).

Hmm. Then our cases are a bit different. I'm worried that my oath form might have slipped through the cracks, and the onus of reminding them about that is on me now. My tracker also hasn't been updated since the oath, which basically means my file is still open until someone gets to it and marks it as closed.

You can email them again with the oath form, it will act as a reminder.

Yeah that's the next step if I don't hear back in a couple of days.

If you don't bother can you tell us what was the correction you had to do? Was is the signature?
Thank you

I had used Adobe to sign the form directly (draw signature) wherein the actual requirement is to sign on a piece of paper, take a picture, then insert that image into Adobe per the instructions on the oath form. I messed up.

I did the same mistake as you but read the instruction after... I did it monday after the ceremony

Guys, I'm in a similar boat: sent my signed oath form on the same day as the ceremony but haven't gotten any further email instructions. I am trying to setup the IRCC portal on my own but it's asking for an invite code. Anyone know how to get that??

You'll find the invite code on the email received with instructions for e certificate

I haven't received any email yet with further instructions. Nothing after I submitted the signed oath form guess I need to start spamming them. This is honestly ridiculous. The people who attended the ceremony in person got their citizenship certificate on the spot. And those of us who attended virtually are the people in this situation.

I received it 6 days before the ceremony, did you check your spam?

Hmm, the email I got before the ceremony was an invitation to the Oath Ceremony titled: NOTICE TO APPEAR: Ceremony To Take the Oath of Citizenship by Video
but there is no invite code inside that email or the PDF attached to it. Is this the same email you're referring to?
