Hello, My oath ceremony is scheduled for 1 July at an in-person event in Saskatoon. I am yet to receieve a formal invite, but the IRCC rep who called me said that I will be given a paper certificate at the time of ceremony.
She also said that I will be able to use it for passport application after 48 hours.
I did not realize this over phone, but does any one know what is the 48 hours constraint here?

It’s so your citizenship is fully entered in the system.

Just found out what happened with my citizenship certificate, the sent my certificate to my old address even after I updated my address with IRCC one week prior to my oath, the citizenship certificate received to my old address two weeks ago and I just talk to the resident of that apartment now she said she put moved out on the envelope two weeks ago and Canada post took it back, now what…. What an idiots dealing with this certificates in the Vancouver office…. All this time they were arguing with me saying they sent to my new address…. Now I have a long phone call to make it to IRCC.
“Friends Mail forward service doesn’t work with the citizenship package“ I did activated that service since May 1st as safety net yet still my certificate went to my old address “BE WARE Using mail forwarding service”

Let me know what they are going to say about it.
I think they sent mine to my old address as well, I am not sure but the current tenant told me there was a mail for me and he sent it back

For me and my family they all came together but in separate envelops.
