2 weeks so far still in progress, some got it closed after 2 days. Mississauga office
Citizenship Certificate After Oath
- Thread starter thesonicbro
- Start date
@Sohaib89 i did what you told me I sent email to the invite I received and below what they respond :
——-
Please note that we offer the possibility of receiving an electronic certificate to certain people who submitted their application before January 4, 2023.
Your permanent resident card will need to be cut during the ceremony. Consequently, if you want to travel without worries, it would be better to postpone your ceremony until after your stay outside Canada. You will be called again at a later date according to our processing times.
For more information, you can contact the IRCC Call Center at 1-888-242-2100

I feel it’s a generic email what do you think ?
Hey mine was closed on the 9th of June but it was updated today from the Mississauga office. You should check your tracker
Did you mention to them that you were planning on traveling soon. If yes, then this is not generic and I feel one should never tell them that one plans to travel soon. If you did not tell them, then this is definitely a generic email. Also looks like yours is Montreal office. Mine is Niagara and they have been cool with the e-certificate and accept the request from anyone who wants it. Here is the body of the email I sent and they were quick to respond positively:
"
Hi,
Hope you are doing well. I have my virtual oath on June 13th and was wondering if I can opt for the e-certificate. That way I will not have to wait for the physical certificate. If possible, please opt me in the e-certificate option.

Same situation here, oath completed on May 17, I changed my address that day and no certificate yet, called this morning and the agent told me the certificate was sent on May 24 to my previous address, they did not have my new one on the system, now I do not what to do, they asked me to call back in July, unbelievable.
Oath completed on June 6th (Vancouver)
During the check in I asked the clerk if I can receive an electronic certificate instead of paper one for me and for my kid. She said sure, no problem.
I received 2 separate emails with instructions on how to download the certificate 5 min after(for me and for my kid).
Status changed to "Closed" on June 7th (tracker was updated on June 9th). Still not able to download certificates.

- Your e-Certificate is not available. Please try again 2-5 business days after you provided your signed Oath of Citizenship.
Thanks for the note, and yes, I checked this morning and same as you, closed today and the update was June 9. Wondering if they’ve mailed it
