Now I am outside Canada and plan to travel to take the Oath and have to come back home in one week,
SO,

and how many days to have my certificate and apply for a Canadian passport?
is it possible for my roommate to mail me the certificate and apply for the passport abroad?

You can request for urgent processing to send certificate and get in 3 days and then apply for emergency passport process that takes min 2 days

We had our oath today in a bilingual ceremony which lasted two hours. We were told we could pick up our certificates on Friday or wait for them to be mailed out on Monday. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

We just had our oath yesterday and our test was completed May 13, 2021. There were some issues with misplaced documents with our file between agents working from home vs office.

I have pretty much the same timeline as yourself (completed my test June 29th, status updated to Complete on July 12th), except I got a passport pages request back in September (which was repeated in November, and then finally receipt of the pages was acknowledged). Still waiting to hear back from them towards next steps.

ok they sent me passport page request along with test which I guess I didn't realize at that time and just focused on test. I thought I had already sent my passport pages with my application. So they do request it again just incase if its not there.

They requested all my passport pages with stamps not in English or French translated. This is not necessarily requested of everyone, though.

Hi, my online tracker shows the oath ceremony scheduled for April 1st but I did not receive an email yet. When I submitted the form online last week, I just got a generic reply. I cannot reach them by phone because they do not pick up for citizenship calls. Is this normal, not to receive the email yet? how can I contact them?
