Does anyone know if there is a difference between submitting the pdf post oath with scanned signature or with an electronic signature? Especially in the terms of turnaround for the e-certificate
PDF scanned signature is the one, when you print your oath form,sign it and scan it to send it back.
Electronic signature is when you sign digitally without printing a hard copy.

I did a printed out version of the form and scanned as PDF. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a turnaround within 2 to 5 business days. I am with the Mississauga office and I have read that they are a slow office with certificates

Hello everyone! My journey is now complete. All that remains is the passport. I will keep the group updated once I have my passport. I am also thinking of seeing if I can order GMCS notes (it will take about a month). Just to get a sense of my office and other details for folks wishing to benchmark their application.

Here is the timeline.
