No lol. But other people in the niagara office group tried emailing and they replied back by saying it takes 3-4 to get scheduled for an oath which really weird

Mines stuck in Niagara too. Tried calling the ircc phone number once but they just hung up because there aren't enough agents to talk to me.

Which email should we send to? But doesn't sound like it speeds things up? They reply with a standard response?

Please see my answers below:

- How long did the ceremony take? For us it took about 1 hr. 45 minutes. It was an easy process but have to have in waiting room for about 20 minutes before IRCC confirms identification and cut PR card into 4 pieces. After this, wait another 20-25 mins for oath ceremony.
- Did you submit the signed oath form immediately after the ceremony? YES. We sent ours 15 mins after completing ceremony. IRCC official asked us to email combined signed oath forms from one email address which I sent after oath was done.
- How long did it take for you to get the e-certificate link to download after submitting the signed oath form? Still waiting. There were about 80 candidates today who took online oath. This was mentioned by Judge assistant.
- Anyone do an urgent passport application for same or next day delivery? - Not sure. You can do it but I will leave the experts to comment.

Wishing you the best.

Hi,
just wanted to confirm for e-certificate, how we can make the request? when we have our identification confirmed by the officer, we should ask them for an e-certificate? or we should ask through email when we sent the oath form back?
Thanks!

Thanks!

YES, at the time of ID check, you can request administrator official whether you want paper certificates to be mailed or want e-certificates.

For us, in person pick up was not available.

Oh. Each office might be different. Mine is assumed to be Sacrborough based on test invite e-mail. Anyways, will wait then.

I actually don’t know. However, when LPP done, that’s usually an indicator of approval. I also called the IRCC, the agent told me my application has been approved, just waiting for oath.
