Many offices are adopting e-certificates exclusively for oath ceremonies. If you prefer a paper certificate, they may reschedule your oath.
In other cases, if you haven't made a selection beforehand, you'll automatically receive a paper certificate. Some offices have adopted a more flexible approach, where the oath officer asks your preference during the ceremony and provides the certificate accordingly.
You will know about this in the oath email or you can discuss with oath officer during doc verification.
i was lazy is all. They have clearly mentioned in a couple of places that I can opt for an e-certificate during ceremony registration.
Hello guys!
Did anyone notice that processing time is now 17 months? (For those that were still waiting for 18 months to call IRCC).

I called IRCC 2 days back that my application has crossed 18 months but no update since then. I got a email from Ministry which i inquired a month ago and they said your application is in the inventory. 
Hey everyone!
So... Called IRCC yesterday morning, the agent was somehow helpful. He said he couldn't find any indications that my application might be Non-Routine, but also said that my multiple GCMS notes requests (I've requested it two times) could have resulted in my file being on hold for a longer time.
After that, the agent added some notes to the officer working on my file stating that it's been over the processing time and said they could take up to 60 days after these notes to act on my file (not surprised).
