Anecdotally, someone was scheduled their oath on Sept., but rescheduled because they were out of the country, and when they came back they contacted IRCC, and they scheduled them again for Dec. I am not when they came back to Canada, though, and how long it took them from when they came back.
Okay thank you very much. I have no trouble coming to Canada any other month after the holidays and waiting for my passport to travel again, so I will probably just explain my issue and hopefully they can reschedule me soon again.
A call would make changes quicker. Some also reported quick update when they updated their address from ecas.
Unfortunately I can't update it on ECAS because it's an address abroad. I'll try calling again. Thank you!
I'm in the same boat but my situation is worse. I am scheduled on the 15th and already booked a trip for my honeymoon on the 19th, most likely I'll have to reschedule the ceremony.I am incredibly happy to report that I was finally scheduled for my oath on December 14!! I really had to hold back happy tears. Question for the lucky ones who have a passport by now: I have a flight booked out of the country for December 24. In your experience, would it be possible to receive my certificate and get a passport, all within 10 days after the ceremony? I would really hate to reschedule my ceremony. I'd rather reschedule my trip, even if I have to miss Christmas with my family again
The certificate takes 2-4 weeks and passport 25 business days. Highly unlikely that all the stars align in your favor.I am incredibly happy to report that I was finally scheduled for my oath on December 14!! I really had to hold back happy tears.

I heard this in other posts - During your ceremony when you are in direct talks with the immigration officer, you can say your situation, share your flight details and they might be able to expedite the certificate delivery/pickup. Depends on case to case. Good Luck and keep us posted.I am incredibly happy to report that I was finally scheduled for my oath on December 14!! I really had to hold back happy tears.

It can be highly favorable as well - If the oath officer expedites, the certificate can be picked up from the nearest IRCC office within a day or two, and passport can be applied under expedite where you get it within 1-3 days.
There is a Return to email on the oath form where you need to send the form to. Is the one you mentioned above the same email address?
It's normal. You will get an oath invitation through email but also keep checking the online tracker for an update on oath.
Highly unlikely that you will get everything done before December 24th. My oath was on November 13 (Mississauga office) and I needed to be in the States by November 22. I requested that the citizenship certificate be expedited, to which the officer responded that travel is not a valid reason to express mail the citizenship certificate. I told him that I needed to drive my wife for her follow-up appointment. The officer told me to send an explanation in the email, which I did right away - I sent a long email explaining my situation with supporting documents, but guess what.. I still haven't received the citizenship certificate after 10 days. Sorry for the bad news but will suggest rescheduling your trip and not relying on the citizenship certificate to be there on time. Also, factor in the holiday season so IRCC might be short-staffed.I am incredibly happy to report that I was finally scheduled for my oath on December 14!! I really had to hold back happy tears.
