From Montreal here as well…Ceremony was on the 18th, still haven’t received the certificate yet. Pathetic :(.
This is the reply I received when I sent them an email (Same email used for sending the Signed Oath form) for the Certificate and application closing today morning:
"
Hello,
After the ceremony , there is a delay of 4-6 weeks to obtain both the certificate and subsequently a Canadian passport.

Thank you

IRCC

Got mine [Finally] last Friday, Aug 26, 2022. Also submitted my passport application yesterday. The Sunpark [23 Sunpark Dr SE, Calgary, AB T2X 3V1] office was better [compared to what I heard about the one in downtown]....but then again...a typical Govt office...!!! Only 7~8 booths out of 15 were serving at a time even though all were open.....even at peak hours....The rep serving in the booth I was sitting infront of...served only 1 applicant in the whole 2.5 hours I was there.

For those who requested GCMS notes and have not received them within 30 days, did you get an e-mail informing you of the time extension?

I have the same timeline, and the same ceremony
A little bit worried, as I notice nowdays some delay sending the certficate in SCR office.
Though, I can see some applicants get it in 5 days!
there is no need to be worried if you don't have urgent travel plans. maximum waiting period is 3 weeks.
I believe your portal should be updated anytime soon. consider them reviewing one at a time.

Just relax. :)
