Citizenship Certificate After Oath

[onkar112]

Congrats! Seems like it is 2-6 weeks range to receive certificates, not 2-4 weeks like they said. In my case it was 5 weeks.

Yes, it seems the mailing times have been pretty good and IRCC has been efficient. I received mine in 2 wks despite inclement weather etc.

We received our Citizenship Certificates in the mail today - roughly 3 and half weeks after our oath ceremony.

Just for your reference, even though they said 2-4 weeks during oath, it takes 2-6 weeks to receive them. Mine took 5 weeks.

Just an update, my oath was on NOV1 st, according to IRCC records they sent me the certificate on Nov 9th, but I never received it. Dec 21st which was 6 full weeks after they mailed the certificate I did request a reprint, I sent at least 5 follow-up messages, one MP office intervention, 3 IRCC contact center notifications to the related office (HALIFAX) there is still no sign of resend, or an acknowledgement that they received the request.

Due to a planned trip at the end of Jan (More than 4K prepaid, and not refundable also attached a medical appointment back to my original country), I requested a two years temporary passport, which has been declined by Passport Canada (Halifax) although it was previously confirmed by the Passport Canada call center. their excuse was I never received my certificate, If I receive it and lost it they said they could issue one.

Honestly, I am very much pissed off, it seems like Canada is not able to identify whether you are a Canadian citizen or not and relying on a piece of paper instead of its citizenship database (I am not sure if this even exists).

IRCC call center can confirm that I took my oath on Nov 1st and I am officially Canadian, related office can not deliver my certificate, or give me the option to pick it up in person or at last with a tracked mail.

I did nothing wrong, did everything on my end without fail if I am a Canadian Citizen ( apparently I am after my oath on Nov 1st ), my mobility charter rights are violated by the government.

Just saw that application uodated on Dec 22, and in application history says that

- application Status has closed.

- Dec 20, citizenship ceremony status has been updated to completed

Any clue that if above new status/update has any reference with certificate dispatched or not ?

Did you get your certificate? I didy oath on dec 20 .... still no certificate in the mail

Oh so even with urgent processing it took them 10 days to deliver!! When was your status changed to completed? Mine was last updated on dec 27th .... I guess it takes way longer with regular mail

I looked at a bunch of posts here before, it seems like for many, status changes from completed to closed in about a week or so, and then application closed (usually means certificate dispatched) to certificate delivered takes about 2 weeks + a few days, even if you take oath somewhere like Winnipeg but live in the GTA.

Is yours 'completed' or 'closed?'
