You don't need to wait for an invite code to be sent to you. You can generate one on your own from the signup page of the portal.I haven't received any email yet with further instructions. Nothing after I submitted the signed oath formguess I need to start spamming them. This is honestly ridiculous. The people who attended the ceremony in person got their citizenship certificate on the spot. And those of us who attended virtually are the people in this situation.
Citizenship Certificate After Oath
- Thread starter thesonicbro
- Start date
No it was 2 different email. One for the oath that I received 1 week before, so August 21 and the second one for the e certificate with the code on August 22.
You should contact them.
Incorrect. This invitation code cannot be generated like for a visitor visa application. They need to send this to you - I found a friend of a friend who also recently got his citizenship virtually and who shared with me the email ID from which I need to expect the invitation code. Somehow the email got filtered and didn't go into my SPAM or my TRASH but into some ghost folder in my email client. All my searches inside my inbox for the cic.gc.ca handle didn't locate this email. Only after I searched it with the complete sender's email address did I locate it. So for anyone else, the invitation code should come from this email address: Client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.ca
I was able to sign up on the IRCC portal using that invitation code and download my e-certificate.
No this is not right. You can generate the code on your own and need not wait for IRCC code as rightly said by @nikhilwason
It works both ways.
I searched quite a bit and couldn't find documentation on how to do so. Please post links to CIC documentation as to how to do so so others can benefit.
Try this page to create a new invite code: https://ircc.canada.ca/visit-visiter/en/get-account-ircc-portal
Hey i was able to download the certificate this morning
You and I are in the same boat now. We should give each other moral support
The only steps we can take at this point are: emailing the office, calling IRCC and submitting the web form. Do you know which office did you get the oath invite from?
Were you able to talk to IRCC on the phone about this? If yes, what did they tell you?
Try what the IRCC agent asked me to do. I know it's weird but give it a shot. Open the PDF that you received with instructions to download the e certificate.You and I are in the same boat now. We should give each other moral support
In that PDF, there's a section for Downloading the certificate after all the paragraphs about creating account, invite code etc.
Click on the link to the portal in that download section paragraph, and then login to your portal account, the same way you've been logging in all along. It worked for me, I'm not sure if it means anything different but give it a shot.
