Citizenship Certificate After Oath
- Thread starter thesonicbro
- Start date
Oath: Nov 8
Office: Winnipeg
Status: ceremony in progress
This wait with an arbitrary timeline, after IRCC prevents you from travelling abroad, is very frustrating.
Waiting by itself is not a problem for most of us. We’ve been waiting for years to get to this point, after all. So if I would have to wait another 2-4 weeks for a cert to arrive, I should have no problem with that, AS LONG AS my freedom of movement to go abroad is not restricted.
But when IRCC imposes such a restriction for their own procedural reasons, there should be a sense of urgency from them to lift that restriction asap.

Oh Man! It is exhausting and sometime insane. No Luck either today.
I had to cancel my another important appointment due to non-availability of Citizenship Certificate.
Oath: October 17th
Certificate: Not received!
Office: Winnipeg
Haha, tell me more about this absolutely terrible office. I am shocked our taxes are used as salary for people who work like this!
Yet IRCC had the audacity to send me survey this morning how well they did and not the certificate. I am seriously considering to call Commissioner of Oath in Winnipeg. They have these ridiculous outdated rules we have to comply which is fine for me to follow. But their lack of responsibility is costing my livelihood!!!

You got your certificate ordinary regular mail from Winnipeg to Victoria in 3 business days (Nov 4th to Nov 9th? ) Thats hard to believe!

So you finished your Oath with Winnipeg on Oct31 and then received the cert on Nov 9 in Victoria? That's incredibly fast for a notoriously slow office! Do you mind telling us what are the initials of the clerk who received your oath affirmation? Mine is "XM" and I did the oath on Nov 8 with Winnipeg and if I were as fortunate as you, I'd have received my cert by now, too!
November 8th?
October 17th here, still waiting. This particular Winnipeg office is pathetic!
thesonicbro, who started this thread back in June last year, waited almost 3 months for the cert to arrive from Ottawa office. I think s/he finally managed to move the needle by complaining directly to the Immigration Minister and his deputy.
Similar from-above pressure might be needed with regard to the Winnipeg office...
