Call IRCC and check if they have your form. If yes, give 2-5 days for them to process it.

I had the same oath date as you! Maybe we even had the same ceremony?

My certificate came through on Monday October 23rd at around 5 PM. Try again this afternoon

The oath was conducted from Halifax office, what about yours?
Mine was the Mississauga Office. So we wouldn't have the same ceremony. Shame.

Supposing you sent the document with the file size requested (under 1,000 KB), and the agent name somewhere, and your file name etc. The best bet is to wait and see if it appears today in the afternoon. According to folks in this forum the Mississauga office is one of the slowest offices for processing the certificate and mine was available a day early.

Fingers crossed it is there today.

I did mention my seat number, ceremony date and ceremony number, have no idea about agent number? Can't recollect now what was the agent number! And my files were within 500 KB (each form)

It should still be fine. My agent specified that she wanted me to write her initials
But the instructions don't mention the need to put the initials of the agent. So I ended up sending two emails because I initially forgot to put the initial.

I think it will be fine. If it is not available by Thursday at 5 PM, call the IRCC

My test was marked completed on July 18th. Nothing after that. I dont know what the heck are they upto. Yours is even worse. Hang in there buddy.
So my outland spousal sponsorship application took 3 years to process by IRCC. Now Citizenship application for myself is showing the same picture
