Congratulations brother! So happy to read this!

I was given the choice to pick it up at the office on St Jacques, It was 2 weeks after the date of the ceremony and it only took 5 minutes, just show 2 pieces of ID and that's it. If you opt for delivery it's 4-6 weeks to get it in the mail

They won't notify you when they have been recieved, but you can call IRCC and they should be able to tell you if they are in the file

Mine were mandatory enough for them not to send me for the oath for 2 years whenever they expired ;) As far as I know there are maybe 2-3 ceremonies every month

Typically AOR is received around 3 months after it was mailed. It's completely normal to hear nothing until then. You will receive your application number and unique client identifier (UCI) with the AOR and this will allow you to login to the tracker so sit tight, there's nothing to do but...

All items complete except oath means the next step should be the oath invitation. Be aware though, all my items were completed and my fingerprints expired so the background check was moved back to "in progress" and they requested fingerprints again. But yes, all being well you should be...

Your mileage may vary, for me it was 2 years after completing the test that I got the oath invitation, my application was completely routine too, no criminal history, no kids etc..

I became a Canadian citizen on February 2nd <3

I was asked to email the signed form back and add the name of the IRCC officer I spoke with in the subject line, I created a new email for this and just attached the form, picked up my certificate 2 weeks later so I think either option will work.

I don't know if your experience will be the same but the day after the oath ceremony I received an email inviting me to collect the certificate in person 2 weeks later. When I was applying for the passport there is an option to for urgent processing at the passport office in person but you...

Congratulations! The wait is finally over :)

The email usually goes out around 1 week before the ceremony

I emailed the newsdesk: ctvmontrealnews@bellmedia.ca

Hi guys, did my citizenship ceremony (virtually) February 2nd and picked up my certificate at the Montreal office in person today. Onto the passport application! Good luck for any 2019 applicants still waiting!

Just picked up my citizenship certificate at the Montreal office, nice and quick just showed my notice to appear invite (for the oath) and my drivers licence and it was done. 5 mins in and out :)

100%. I just did my oath ceremony with an expired PR card, they asked why it was expired and I just explained I had no plans to travel until citizenship was done and they were fine with it

You will receive an email invitation to the oath ceremony usually 1 week before the date of the ceremony, it will tell you if it is in-person or virtual. If it's virtual the invite will include everything you need (zoom link, password and seat number)

I just recieved an email formally letting me know I can pick up the certificate on February 13th, it states if you do not / cannot collect it in person then it will be mailed and it takes 4-6 weeks

COPR isn't temporary, you will need it to apply for old age pension when you retire so be sure to keep it safe when you become a citizen

You don't need to worry, it's just the wording here that is scary but I got the exact same message when my background check expired and I had to submit fingerprints again but it's nothing to worry about :)
