    It's definitely worth a try. Especially for developed country applicants, one would expect their applications to be processed a lot quicker because data sharing shouldn't really be an issue. I know an applicant who was French national who was in a similar situation as yourself and was able to...

    Well, oath done. I am officially a Canadian now :D. It's a pretty good feeling I would say. Especially because it puts to rest all the anxieties that one has on immigrant/non-immigrant status. Definitely a moment I am cherishing :)

    Thanks, although I just realized that even if I don't get passport on time, and have my citizenship certificate I should be able to make my trip. I am flying from Detroit anyway, so I can use my old passport along with citizenship certificate to cross the land border.

    Correct. Usually the instructions for the oath show up the next day in your inbox. That's been my experience and a couple of other people I know.

    No, she didn't say anything. They just asked her themselves during the ceremony if she would prefer a paper certificate or an e-certificate. She told them she would like the e-certificate.
