You wouldn’t have to if you can prove that you need to travel in 25 business days. But if you don’t, then yes, the only other option would be to mail it out and wait to get it back. And that itself might take another 20-30 business days.

Hi - How did you get the updated response, via email or called the IRCC helpline?
I just received my certificate today. My ceremony was on Feb 1st with the Montreal office. So, this is me done with IRCC! Good luck everyone!

Well, it's interesting. Mississauga office never responded to my any of the emails regarding Oath Cert. Not even auto responses. I got updates from IRCC helpline (3rd call).
So what happens if the certificate has not arrived within 6 weeks? We call them and they re-issue the certificates again but what if the new certificates don't arrive again? Is there anyway I can tell them please don't post it and I would like to pick it up instead? I am starting to come around the idea that my certificate has been lost, it was dispatched from Nova Scotia on 31st of Jan and today is Feb 18 and it still has not arrived in BC, it must be lost right? surely it can't take that long to arrive from Nova Scotia. I'm so frustrated and anxious it has started affecting my health as I can't stop thinking about it

Which province are you based? When did your file close? Also have you confirmed your certificate was actually dispatched?My ceremony was on January 18 2022...Winnipeg office....still no certificate and complete ignorance from IRCC...(((
I am in Manitoba. File got closed on January 24th, after 20 calls to IRCC all I got-certificate was mailed on January 31st via regular mail and they are not responsible for Canada Post's work. If it is true-it should be here like a week ago. But not. Have no idea what to do next
That's my office. I hope it's not a common thing for them. What did the IRCC officer say your options were?
I requested urgent certificate when I sent my Oath form in after the ceremony.
My certificate came in the mail today, finally. Guess this is the end of my journey with IRCC! Good luck to everyone else waiting patiently!
May I ask when you took your Oath ceremony to receiving it now? I did mine last Tuesday and it’s the Mississauga office, hence the question.
So it certainly took a few weeks and because you're in Winnipeg, may mean a slightly longer wait by a few days in comparison to receiving in Toronto....possibly
