Congratulations impatient friend. I think we were carefully selected for in-person ceremonies. Met a few people at the ceremony just like us.

To your follow-up questions: You get the paper cert regardless when you attend the oath ceremony and your oath affirmation is done in the presence of the judge.

Try to get to the centre about 45-minutes before. There's usually quite a lineup where your PR card is collected and you are assigned seats.
Hahah thank you :D and thank you for answering my questions and suggestions in detail. Your earlier posts in the forum helped me through the citizenship journey and made it much bearable too.. I am sure a lot of people here will agree with me. :)

For virtual oath ceremonies, all family members received separate emails with allotted zoom seat numbers but the pdf in same email, also says that family members need to be on the same screen. Kind of confusing for me to interpret. Can anybody who attended clarify ?

You can input all seat nos as comma separated for e.g. 45, 46, 47, 48 as your name on zoom and join from a single device.
