Been 3 weeks since my oath on Nov 26th. No sign of the certificate although the tracker says case closed since Dec 3rd. I called the call center and they said cert. was dispatched on Tue Dec 7th. I mean how long does the stupid thing take to be delivered to Toronto. Even snail mail should not take past 3 business days. I don't even know if someone stole the thing or its been stuck at a warehouse and awaiting delivery.

I hate this darn Montreal office. We paid fricking 630$ to get citizenship. Couldn't they spend 20/30 for express shipping and maybe attach a stupid tracking number on the portal OR at least ask us to come pick up at any Service Canada location.

Mine was Dec 3, and it's still In progress in the tracker. Is there a phone number to call? I already sent many emails and the webform, but no response...

I received my certificate in the mail today.

My oath ceremony was on Dec 3rd, application status was updated to Closed on the 6th. Montreal office.

How long does it usually take to receive your passport after you submit the application for it? Does anyone know?

To be fair, they did say it would take 2 to 4 weeks right? You have to count from the day they closed the application, i.e it's only been 2 weeks so far. However, I do agree with everything you said.

Received my certificate. Oath date November 26. Closed date December 1st. Post mark on envelope December 6th. From Edmonton to me in Fort St. John, BC.
I don’t check my mail everyday so I don’t know what day it arrived.

Try emailing CIC-CITOY, that’s where you sent the Oath form. Call isn’t of much help

Hello,

I had my oath on Nov 29 and status closed on Dec1. I am still waiting for certificate. I called IRCC helpline today and was told that my certificate was printed on Dec 1. It’s been more than 2 and half weeks and I have still not received it yet. I am from BC.
Anybody in same situation?

My oath was November 26th. Closed December 1st. I received the certificate a few days ago, but I hadn’t checked the mail Daily and it was posted the 6th. I am in BC but my zoom oath was Edmonton.

Same Story with me. Ottawa office. I just came off the phone with IRCC. They said Certificate was mailed on Dec 2nd. & my Tracker showed Closed on Dec 2nd. Still nothing in my mailbox. From IRCC beaucracy to CanadaPost.

I wondered why would they send such an important document by regular mail ? ...
