I know!! Tell me about it…makes me super upset, AOR September 7th, test done October 10th and nothing since then! What makes me even more mad is the fact my physical presence is more than 1800 days considering the fact I have become pr in 2014!!! There is no logical explanation for the way how they process the applications as people who just have 1095 days, which is a minimum, got their LPP completed in 7 days or less after the test! Crazy!!
Was your BG check completed before you got your test invite?

Guys!
I just received the instructions for certificate download.
However:
- oath not started
- I had selected to receive the certificate in paper.


2 questions:
- how long until the oath now?
- can I change it to digital certificate? I have a trip next month and I'll need the expedited passport.

Ps: Vancouver office as far as I can tell

You should receive your oath date soon. Within 1-2 weeks.
You can ask the oath officer during the oath ceremony for certificate change. Sometime oath email would also have the process and in some cases the oath ceremony would be e-certificate one even if you have selected paper. So check the email.

hey guys, Just FYI.. I called IRCC phone number to enquire about my oath invitation letter since my oath scheduled on Nov 27th. I am in outside Canada. The agent told me that they have already sent invitation letter on 16th November, However it will take 5 days to reach it seems. Agent told me that she is going to request the consulate office to look the oath invitation letter email again. so awaiting for the email. Hopefully it will reach tomorrow. I requested to attend oath ceremony from outside canada due to medical grounds through webform. yet to get reply.

Note: I already received an email regarding e-certificate download.
I am in the same boat, haven't received the oath invitation letter but have been scheduled to attend ceremony on Nov 27th. Which IRCC number did you call on? I have been trying 1 888 242 2100 from IRCC's website but my call isn't connected to an agent citing the excessive call load.
