About certificate urgent pickup (virtual ceremony)
My ceremony was on May 2nd but I have to travel on May 21st. During the ceremony, the officer asked me if I have a travel plan before I cut my PR card, and I told her my plan and asked if I could pick up the certificate at the IRCC office. She said I need to email them the flight tickets and hotel reservations along with the signed oath form after the ceremony. They replied to the email quickly and allowed me to pick up the certificate two days later.

If you live in the same city as the IRCC office that hosts your ceremony, you have more chances to be allowed to pick up the certificate if you have an urgent travel plan. I live in Vancouver and my ceremony was hosted by the Vancouver office too.

Hope it is helpful. Good luck everyone.
