My journey with IRCC ends today, it started in Feb 2017 with PR, exactly after 5 years I have received the citizenship certificate today. Good luck to all those still waiting, hoping the wait ends soon.

Hi everyone,
We (my spouse and I) received our citizenship certificates today. Here is our timeline:
Citizenship application submitted Apr 29, 2020.
File number received Nov 5, 2020.
Invitation for test received May 26, 2021.
Oath ceremony scheduled (for Feb 16, 2022) Aug 31, 2021.
Official invitation email for oath ceremony received Feb 8, 2022.
Oath ceremony was held on Feb 16 and application was closed on Feb 17, 2022.
Citizenship certificate received on Feb 28, 2022 (printed on the stamp that the envelop was mailed on Feb 21, 2022).
Office: Scarborough
I have a flight ticket to US on March 5th, and called the call centre at 1-800-567-6868 to book an appointment for urgent passport pick up.
But the agent told me that I need to submit an online request at https://eservices.canada.ca/en/service/ and they will call me back to arrange an in person appointment "exactly 2 business days before my flight date". So be aware that, if you need to go through the urgent passport pick up process, a) you must have the ticket and b) the appointment will be scheduled for only 2-business days before your ticket date.
I hope everyone in this forum will inform us of receiving their certificate and passport vert very soon, and we celebrate all together!

Oath taken on February 1st and according to CIC call centre agent the certificate was mailed on February 4th. Still waiting for the certificate. WTH on earth it's coming from? Ukraine? Yesterday again requested for reissuing of a new certificate as I feel like it has been lost or misplaced. No response from CIC yet.
Mine and my wife's oath was on 15th Feb, file closed on 17th Feb, I contacted them yesterday asking when they'd posted our certs, they confirmed that my wife's was posted TODAY! (1st March), but totally avoided answering when mine had been posted, so either they didn't read the email correctly or they've just posted hers (bizarrely) and not mine....one would've assumed they post both together on the same day in the same envelope
Neither I sent them an email to the same email I received my oath confirmation, mine was Mississauga office. I’m not going to call them as every single time I’ve tried I’ve never been able to get through….ever.
I was about to send an email, then decided to go check the mail box first. Guess what? The certificate was delivered this morning! It's finally over!
Thanks
My certificate finally arrived today. Judging by the sharpie marks on the envelope it caused confusion due to the label "do not bend" - which boggles the mind as my wife's and son's were delivered rolled up into my community mailbox just fine.
Today, the mail carrier instead of delivering to my door went the extra mile of slotting the certificate into the section between all the mailbox doors and the mailboxes themselves. This meant that while the certificate was flat (it was vertical!) I couldn't physically remove the envelope from the box as I obviously don't have a master key to open the whole front and the certificate is substantially larger than the opening of my individual mailbox. Fortunately, the mail carrier was still on site - delivering things to other people's doors (which she should have done with this!) and I asked her to unlock the whole thing for me.
It seems somehow fitting that my citizenship application should come to such a farcical conclusion. I do hope that my passport application doesn't bring any similar ridiculous nonsense.
