My office is Toronto Scarborough. I tried to contact the oath email yesterday and they replied quickly. The call center is totally helpless on my side.
In the email they confirmed that as the officer promised, my certificate was sent out by Feb.10th.
I would not recommend contacting MP. My application processing time was 28 months which was exceeded the normal processing time. I contacted MP during the application progress, but the only thing they can do for me was calling the call center to get a answer. Usually it takes 4-5 days for each reply.
In the urgent situation, sending your documents to the oath email is the best way to reach IRCC I believe. If your certificate was not mailed out yet, you still have a chance to request for an expedited mailing.
I got the severe illness notification of my grandma from the hospital 2 days before the oath date. However, I don't have time to translate it into English in a certifed notary. So I only explain my condition to the officer during the ceremoy, and show her my tickets. Unfortunately, my certificate was sent out by regular mail, cannot be tracked, no expidited.
I have read some of the posts on the forum, if you have a flight ticket the next day, it is possible to get the passport printed out in the afternoon if you go to the Passport office in person.
I will update you after I receive my certificate.
also, Toronto office seems faster.

I just finished the phone call with IRCC, the agent was really nice, she told me that they already printed my certificate out, and forward the urgent request to the clerk, but my urgent request was not yet responded by the clerk. apparently, the clerk is the one sending the certificate out.
The phone center agent also asks me to send another email with the proofs to the ceremony email, and see if the clerk will approve the urgent request... this whole thing just brings me so much stress and I can't fly out to see my family which I haven't seen for 3 years. :(
ps, there is no way to reach the clerk.............
Do you still remember the clerk's name who checked your file during the pre-registration? My clerk asked me to mark down her name and included that in the title of the email when I sent my oath form. Hopefully they will send your certifate in expedited mail. Mine is sending out in regular Canada post mail. I have nothing to do just have to wait. Hope our certificates will coming soon. Fingercrossed.

Hi I have the same day ceremony Feb.9th. Also I am in the similar situation as you. I talked to the clerk during the pre-registration and she told me that if I sent back my oath letter right after the oath ceremony, she will send out my certificate the next day (Feb.10th). My application status was changed to CLOSED on Feb.10th. Hope she has already sent it out.
I am currently waiting for it. I have prepared to apply for the urgent passport the next morning when I receive the certificate.
Could you please share your timeline when you get your certificate?
I will share mine too.
Thank you!
Did they ask you to submit proof for urgent certificate processing?

Hello, how did you know that the certificate had been mailed? Did you get a response after sending the signed oath form?
