1) Did you guys receive your certificate?
2) In how many days after the Oath did you get the certificate?

My oath was on Nov 25th and still no certificate. I am moving to a new address on Dec 17th so a little worried will miss it.

Yes. Received mine exactly a week after oath (oath on 25th nov - certificate received dec 2).

Hello everyone, I have a question: I did not receive any email of test invitation so far but from my status tracker says I am invited to take the test between Dec08 and Dec28. Today it's already December 09. I need also to reply to the the email invitation (once I get it) to say that I am in my home country for vacation and ask them if I can do the test here. I am worried because I did not get this email yet!
What should I do? Send a webform? Contact them by phone? Could you please pass me the contact details?

Update: I sent a webform but I would like to contact them by phone as urgent matter. I tried also to have access to the test webpage adding my APP and UCI numbers and I enter successfully (the website asks me to check that I am in Canada which I am not at the moment).
From ECAS website I don't see any invitation to the test.

Best option in this case I think would be to give them a call and keep trying until you get to speak with someone. I did see someone posting the number here with the extension number as well, see if you can find it - i will try later in the day to find it

I will look for the phone number as well. For what I read online you can call only if you are in Canada (I am in Italy right now). I need your help, please.

Did you check your spam/junk folders? Have you received emails from IRCC before?

Absolutely. I checked and there was anything. I received in the past email from IRCC (AOR, or Permanent Residence) and never had any problem of blocking email from them.
The interesting thing is that my wife is on the same boat. She has the same test window and also on her email (yahoo) she did not get any invitation letter.

oh thats true. i remember reading that as well that call can only be done within Canada perhaps try with the Fongo app? I vaguely recall someone using that when they were outside Canada

I tried already. I am able to enter but in step 2/9 I should check all but one of these is that I am physically present in Canada (which I am not).
