Silly question with apologies to those with serious ones:
For those that attended a virtual ceremony, is there a way to request the little souvenirs / gifts for oath-taking?
I feel like I missed out on little momentos that would have been very special and significant to me. I don't have my little flag for when I became a citizen.

For everyone: It's just around the corner and all set to congratulate you soon!
Dollarama is selling beautiful stuff for Canada day. I would set aside the receipt and send it to IRCC for reimbursement

Sooo, final update from my end in this particular thread.. Applied for my passport on June 4, exactly 1 week after my ceremony and received it today, June 11 via Xpresspost. Did the usual 10 days processing time, yet got it super fast.

Good luck everyone, now onto the next ballgame, BLS/Indian Consulate for 2x. Y'all will see me active in those threads since looking at the process in itself is giving me a headache LOL.

today marks as 2 months since there is no update on my application. It's so frustrating.
I'm 2 and a half months after the last update in the portal. However the last real update in the application was in January, when I did the test. This is according to ATIP notes.

I just checked my notes again. The background check really passed on January 9, even though the portal marked it as passed on April. The last officer note is when they verified my exam, on Feb 6. So no real update in like 5 months

No updates since April 22. Only test and BG completed. A service is usually gauged with Efficiency + Quality + Accuracy. After paying a hefty fees for the application we really wish every application gets equal consideration.
