Thank you! How about any difference in terms of any document or booklet that might come in the paper certificate package?

Not much difference. With paperone you get the certificate and the oath paper. If you ask me, I personally went for the paper certificate as given how things get hacked these days, I don't find E- certificate safe.

You get additional letter from PM and immigration minister which you don't get in e-certificate.

Hello, looking for some clarification from members who received E-certificate .I got my Oath done on August 22nd and opted for E-certificate .How do I access it . One of my friends who got his oath in July said that he get another email from IRCC with a document a key and instruction how to access the e-certificate. He said he received it on the same day as the oath letter but I have not received it yet 2 days post the ceremony . When do you really get the email with the key to access the e certificate portal if anyone could help on this ?

Thank you! This makes the paper certificate a lot more valuable to me. I am in no rush and can easily wait for a month to receive the paper certificate.

It's been 6 months (Feb 23) since I passed my test and my LPP has not even been started yet… the IRCC REP says that they have 18 months to finish the application and I have to wait for that before I call…

The application according to rep is with Kitchener office and I see in my ATIP notes that it is assigned to RC-8090 since March 1, 2023.

What can I do to make any movement in my application… this is so frustrating…

Have you received any update?

Wow thats Awesome. Thank you so much for this. Although I couldnt download it yet as it said I am not opted for electronic which is strange because thier older email said I was, but may be i have to wait another day or two before I can do that. But this link was a great help . Atleast I dont have to wait for their email to arrive.

Guys, quick question, I remember someone mentioning the benefit of getting paper certificate (tried searching the post but couldn’t).

what would you guys suggest - e-certificate or paper certificate? I’m currently auto enrolled for e-certificate.

How do you know you are auto-enrolled for e-cert?

Right after I got the oath invite email, I even received the e-certificate download process email. Both these emails says we are in for e-certificate. It also says, if I wish to go for paper certificate, we need to inform IRCC at least 2 days before the oath

Congrats . Is your office Hamilton ? My wife got her oath invite a day or so after the e certificate email and her processing center was Niagara. My LPP processing office is Hamilton, therefore if you are Hamilton as well that gives hope. Do confirm your oath ceremony center once you get the invite
