My wife recently got an email from the Gov saying she can download her citizenship. However we find that an Oath must be done first.
Really having difficulty finding out how to do next steps, tried calling the gov't office however they are too busy....to take a call, they just say try again.
Would anyone here have any fast track method to get to the Oath department...
Appreciate any help
Im a born Canadian, my wife is a canadian permanent resident,
thanks

After certificate email you need to wait for oath to be scheduled. It generally happens pretty soon after receiving certificate mail.
No way to fast track it. You need to have patience and wait for oath to be scheduled.

Ah.. ok so we will await notification for the Oath. I would guess it can be done in person or online?
Is there any homework to do in preparation for this.
Thank you for helping us, it is a bit confusing , they do not clearly state how everything works.

Yes oath email will have the detail of the ceremony(in-person or online)
No homework is needed. It's a simple ceremony and they need your PR card and one piece of ID. All that will also be specified in the oath email.

Do you know how long typically the certificate will be made available after the oath ceremony and the process of downloading the certificate?
I had my ceremony yesterday and still can’t download the certificate

2-5 days is normal processing time. You can call IRCC and check if they have your signed oath form. If they have it, wait for it to be processed by oath officer.

Luckily, I was just able to download my certificate few minutes ago
Thank you for your assistance
