Timeline of E-Certificate after Oath Ceremony

[srmogician]

Hi All!

I have a question about the timeline of receiving electronic citizenship certificate (E-certificate) after attending the ceremony. I have scheduled the ceremony in about a week but I have a pre-scheduled travel in November. I am wondering if anyone knows the estimated timeline of getting e-certificate? Will I receive the e-certificate on the same day? If I can get the E-certificate in a day or two I may have enough time for urgent passport application, visa application, etc.

Thank you!

It usually takes 2 to 5 business days after the ceremony to get it.

The answer is in the oath invitation email you received.

Read the oath invitation email you received. It's in plain English and it answers your question.

Haven't received the letter. Just found out the status has changed and have to plan ahead.

Talk to the oath officer on the oath day. Some are kind enough and do process the oath form and generate the e-certificate on the same day.

I spoke to the oath officer on the day of the oath as well. She said it might still take 2 to 5 days. I am on the 4th business day. Still there is nothing. Getting impatient and worried now..

Did you call IRCC to check they have your signed oath form?

I tried but they said all of their agents were busy at the moment.

Hey, what was the update? Did you get it in 5 business days or it took longer?

Hey @swan0206 I wrote to them about my travel plans and then they processed it the next day

From what I’ve heard, it takes up to 1-2 weeks to receive it after the ceremony but you can also double check in this tracker here: https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/canadian-citizenship-processing-tracker

A bunch of people have added the certificate receipt date into their cases as well
