you mean I will be able to pick up the certificate in person? I have the letter from HR and I was planning to apply for express passport application and pick the passport in person (if I am able to receive my certificate on time)
Now that they have mailed it already, I guess there is no option to pick it in person even if it is deemed urgent. You can still try.

Anybody knows how much time it takes when you are queued to be scheduled for a virtual citizenship ceremony ?

There is no pattern at all , IRCC is just randomly processing applications. There are applicants who have applied for citizenship Jan 2021, and they have already received their citizenship and passport. Yet there are applicants from 2019 who have no updates on their status for months and months. Why are they processing newer applications faster than older applications ? I know dozens of 2021 applicants who are finished their process.

All items still "in progress" for me and they have not asked me for anything further. Just a huge delay. Also , when you send a webform, after 2 months they respond and say we are busy dealing with the situation in Afghanistan, all our agents are working priority on Afghanistan. What about us ? Are we forgotten forever? Why are 2021 applicants already done the process. 2019 , 2018 applicants waiting endlessly?

Hi Friends, a few weeks ago there was thread regarding writing an email to Minister of IRCC, so i did write him a letter , it was read the next day, but with no response or actions as of now. i'm sharing his email in case anyone is interested to reach out : " Minister@cic.gc.ca ". my application is in progress since september 3rd , nothing has moved. have tried ATIP and MP multiple times with no success. the only response is , we have prioritized our resources towards the current crisis in Afghanistan. this goes for ever, .....

I already emailed the Minister of immigration office email. After 1.5 months they responded and said "send IRCC a webform" , LOL.

It makes absolutely no sense that they are completing 2021 applications , and 2020,2019,2018 are at the bottom of the pile. What a joke. They should be ashamed.

Oath Letter received on 6th January 2022 which confirms / keeps the oath date on 1st Feb.
Oath Ceremony performed and completed today. Happy this long journey is over now (ok..still the administrative part such as waiting for Certificate / PP Application is pending), but yes......it's over. No more daily log-in / checks for status updates and/or waiting desperately for any sign from IRCC (such as reaching out for any request).....a citizenship application....from September 2019 until today in complete silence.

Thanks for the forum for a lot of insights and to the users sharing their experiences...it helped a lot to remain calm and have faith in the process.

I wish all the best for the 2019 applicants and hopefully YOUR time will come soon as well.

Best wishes everyone and thank you again for all the support I was able to generate from this forum.

A month ago i was requested to send my passport copies to ircc in scarbrough. However one of my trips was 365 days .
will this be a problem or should i be ok since i met the physical presence?
