Hi @rajkamalmohanram - Thank you for all your guidance and super helpful information that you have been sharing with the group thus far. Would you by any chance know what are the current timelines like after the Oath ceremony is completed? By when does one recieve the citizenship certificate by mail and how long does it take for the passport processing? The context is that my oath ceremony is scheduled Jan 31st, I have to travel out of Canada in January and was hoping the ceremony would have been earlier.
Any information that I could get on the timelines would be helpful for me to plan ahead. Thank you.

The certificate delivery time is a wild card. Anywhere between 1 and 6 weeks. It depends on the officer, the office and where you are located.

If you have planned trips, you should let the clerk know after the ceremony and convince them to expedite your citizenship certificate.

Thank you so much. Is there a chance I could request the ceremony to happen earlier than scheduled ? Not sure if this scenario is a common one.

One of my friends somehow managed to do this but it is extremely unlikely. I was actually surprised that IRCC agreed to prepone his ceremony because he had an upcoming trip in December.

Thank you, It is very unlikely they would move the date but would you be able to find out if your friend wrote directly to IRCC, raised a web form, or emailed the MP to prepone the date. Knowing what route he took would be helpful. No harm in trying I guess. Only if you can find out and it's not too much of a botheration for you.

Hi All, I sent Passport Copies on 21th Sept. and I haven't received any reply. Is that a normal time for waiting? or there is a phone number, I should contact?

Regards
