"In person oath AND e-certificate"
* Edited. I thought it was available for everyone, however, it sounds like not correct. Sorry about that.
I've recently read other thread that a person attended in person oath, choose e-certificate upon celemony and then received an email with instruction to download the electric certificate from the IRCC portal.

A warning though, that is the first I've heard of this. I have someone who attended an in-person a few weeks ago and wanted the e-certificate - was told it wasn't possible.
The instructions for that in-person seem to imply the e-certificate is possible - but to me it looks like that part of the text is almost the same as for the virtual ceremonies.
Anyway: no harm asking, but this doesn't seem to be consistently handled by IRCC yet. Let others know if you can get the e-certificate.
Had my in-person eath recently, they just gave a paper certificate even though I opted for e-certificate as they seem to have the paper version ready to hand out, not sure if you can ask them not to before the oath.
Per their website, "You can only have 1 valid citizenship certificate: paper or electronic."
You can always request one later.

The serial number in paper and electronic version are different though, starts with K v/s X, so you may want do all your paper work for passport etc. before you get an e-certificate.
