Congrats. finally, the journey is over.
Did the certificate come in your mailbox or do you have to personally receive it and sign the receipt?
Well, stamp data is 19 Jan & we received it 22 Jan.
It came our post box with lot of takecare restrictions.
One thing i really want to share with all of you.
Its almost 5 month after oath we received that and i will going to be more 5 months maybe, if i didn't take some steps, also for your information our spouse sponsorship also stuck in canada from last 1 year.
So what we did. We hire a toronto attorney highcourt lawyer on 10 jan and he call ircc with some technical words then next day status change to complete and Certificate received also our sponsorship application approve and move to VO london.
There is message for all of you in above story...
If we do all our self how immigration lawyer, consult, there office employees feed there children. Maybe ircc deliberately delay to wait when person hire consultant, will do client work.....
Just my thought.... Can be wrong.. But i experience this.

can you share attorney contacts please? PM is fine so people don't think it's advertising. Thanks
Congratulations Zindabad. Ottawa office is either over stressed with work or their staff is on leave. I received my certificate as well couple of days back. If anyone else is in similar situation, where certificate is not yet mailed months after oath ceremony, then I would suggest them to fill the online form and call them several times. They totally forgot about my file and after filling the form and calling them several times, I manage to get my certificate.

Congratulations on receiving the certificate and and end to this journey, Would you like to share how long it took from Oath date to the Certificate in your hand ?
It took 3.5 months from oath to certificate. Some of my friends got the certificate within couple of weeks after oath. There is no trend, it all depends upon the officer and clerk dealing with your file.
Hi everyone,
I want to know what can I do as I have not received the citizenship certificate after 5 months? Any help is highly appreciated.
I have attended the virtual ceremony and took the oath early December 2020 but still (May 2021) I have not received the certificate. I have filled several webforms and requested about my application status. They didn't give me much information other than "your file should be reviewed shortly".
In ECAS my application status was decision made for a while. Now after they have changed the web interface (very recently) it shows different steps and I see it as below:
Language skills: Completed
Physical presence: Completed
Citizenship test: Completed
Background verification: Completed
Prohibitions: Completed
Citizenship ceremony: In progress

Give IRCC a call? Email the same officer who you sent your forms to after the ceremony to inquire. That’s strange tbh
Interesting. I also had the ceremony last week and things are still not moving for me for some reason.
Have you moved address where you provided the new address to to the officer prior to the ceremony?
Which office your application is processed?
Edit: My concern right now would be in having no proof of PR or citizenship since they asked us to cut PR card after the oath ceremony.

now i am little worried.
1. what are the chances that the canada post misplace the document and lost
2. what is the process to get certificate incase of lost.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

It seems unlikely that it will be lost - CP is having delays. When was your oath? What was your overall timeline?
Thanks.
