Do we receive only one certificate or two? I know they need the original for the passport soi was wondering if we would need to request another certificate?

Well, it's interesting. Mississauga office never responded to my any of the emails regarding Oath Cert. Not even auto responses. I got updates from IRCC helpline (3rd call).
My wife received her Oath certificate in mail yesterday. I am still waiting for mine even though they both were sent out from same office, same day. And surprisingly Mississauga office, sent a confirmation email yesterday too that the certificates have been mailed out on 17th Feb in separate envelopes for both of us.

No. Passport Canada will return you the original. Issuing a new certificate takes 15 months.

May I ask when you took your Oath ceremony to receiving it now? I did mine last Tuesday and it’s the Mississauga office, hence the question.
I took my oath of Feb 7th and file closed on the 9th. I have not received my certificate either. This should probably give you an idea of how long this is taking.

Interesting. Is this common practice for them to email us once the certificate has been mailed? Or did you receive that notification because you emailed them asking for an update prior?

Not sure if it's a common practice or not but I did request them in email earlier to update once the certificates have been mailed out. Though, I wasn't expecting them to update me anyway :D

I received my Oath certificate too today. So, finally done with IRCC. Thank you all. You all have been really helpful. Good luck everyone

Hi Guys,

due to the passing of my mother I need to go back home ASAP to be with my dad.

My Oath Ceremony is next Saturday Feb 26th, and I was wondering if there is anyway to ask IRCC to expedite the dispatch of my Certificate?
I can`t wait the deadline of 4 weeks.

Thank you!

Congratulations!! I sent them an email a few days ago so hopefully they will notify me as well. I haven’t checked my mail for the day - I dread the disappointment lol. All the best with the passport process!
