One question: I have learned lots of trouble about certificate delivery delay or lost in the forum. Can we choose to Download the E- certificate after the oath ceremony ( even if haven’t been selected to get one)?

Congrats!!
I have a very strong feeling the whole Winnipeg office is not bad, just a few clerks there are absolutely pathetic, disorganized and grossly incompetent at dealing with certificates. My oath was October 17th, still no certificate. :(

It seems the Winnipeg office has mailed out certificates of citizenship for 16th November virtual oath ceremony last week.

Mine has been mailed out last Friday to Vancouver - as told by the agent on call.
 
Hi All,
My oath ceremony is scheduled for mid-Dec but I will be traveling abroad during holiday break. I bought my tickets which were too expensive and are non-refundable.

Is there a way to request them for urgent certificate and passport?

Chances are 50/50 given we are at the mercy of the agents. You can explain everything at the time of oath and plead to dispatch your certificate with tracking. Certificate can arrive i. 2 days and u can get ur passport in 1 day.

If the agent couldn’t careless and post regular mail u will then at the mercy of canada post as it’s also their peak season.

Either ways it’s for you to decide if u wanna take chances or want to reschedule. There’s no way around. IRCC has been extremely clumsy with their process. Good luck!

thank you so much for the reply. can just hope for the best … this is exactly what I was worried about since few weeks that it may come just before holidays. I’d bought the tickets months in advance :(

You can try to push your travel plan whatsoever, there’s always an exceptions! if anyway you can get refund or defer the ticket in future dates maybe?

You also have to consider we have approached holiday season which makes things even more difficult. IRCC doesn’t function well on regular days let alone on holidays lol. Part of it also depends on the freight so yeah. I wish everything goes smoothly for you whichever route you take!
