Finally got the certificate after emailing Calgary visa office that I need the e-certificate since I will be traveling next week. The agent replied right away and I rushed to passport office for expedited process.
I am finally over with dealing with IRCC. 13 yrs total with multiple scenarios e.g. visa, permit, pr docs, prtd, sponsorship and ultimately citizenship. What a long (and a lot) of journey!. This forum has been my sole source of information throughout every process. I can't thank you enough to all contributors of this forum for sharing their info and experience.
Wishing you guys all the best with your final step of being a truly Canadian. Your new home your new country. Despite all of its pros and cons. We decided to become a part of this country.
Goodbye IRCC...
