With regards to the certificate, yes. I did two things (1) I emailed them before the oath (using the email add they used to send me the citizenship ceremony invitation) and (2) Mentioned during registration (for the oath) that I had asked for urgent release of the certificate. They confirmed that they got my email.

In my case, I chose to pick the certificate up rather than be mailed to me.

Passport is another story altogether. There is urgent processing. The website will give you all the details you need. Please note that passport is being handled by a different department than the ones doing the Citizenship oath.

All the best.

Hey I have a quick question my office is Scarborough also. My oath was on 17 August but my tracker still isn’t marked as closed and showing in progress. I sent them. A follow up email on 19th and called the call centre today. The call centre said they don’t see my oath form as received yet and wait for 3 days before calling back and writing to follow up again. Do you think it’s normal for my tracker to still show in progress it’s been 3 business days since oath
 
Does the tracker say closed or complete? I had my oath yesterday at Scarborough office too and my tracker still says in progress even though I sent my oath form in
Hi, do you see any updates on ecas? my oath ceremony (Niagara office) was on the 19th and and the last update is from July. Based on the comments, system is updated after 2-3 days and certificate is received after 10 days.

No updates on ecas as well. The only update on ecas is the date of my oath ceremony. It states “decision made”

Hi friends, i m going to india in November. I bought tickets already. My background check is completed and rest everything except oath is in progress. My question is if I send them tickets, does it make any influence on my processing?
