[Canadian newcomer]

Thank you. . The ceremony took upto 2 hours and there were 46 people present for the ceremony. Most of the time is spent waiting to be registered and for identities to be verified.
The ceremony kicks off with the citizenship judge making a short speech welcoming all of us and congratulating us for passing through many hurdles to reach upto this point. Next off, you take the oath of citizenship followed by singing the national anthem of Canada. You feel a swell of pride while reciting the oath and singing O Canada. Finally, you have to sign the oath form in front of IRCC officials & cut up your PR card. Then if required you get an opportunity to take photos with the citizenship judge,
Once the ceremony ends, you should email the scanned copy of the signed oath form & photos of your cut up PR card to IRCC asap.

So, just to be clear the Oath Ceremonies are now in-person?

No it was a virtual oath ceremony. In-person ceremonies have not yet resumed.

@vishalv, quick question since you already had your ceremony

How long does it take to receive the certificate after oath, if you already did receive yours?
Also, can I ask the officer during the oath ceremony to send the certificate to different address than my permanent one in the system?

During the ID verification process at the ceremony, they mentioned it would take between two to four weeks. Approximately closer to the two week mark. I have yet to receive my certificate as it's not even one week.

Yes you should be able to ask them to send the certificate to a different address, The officer had confirmed my address as the right address to mail the citizenship certificate. So you shouldn't have an issue providing a different address.
