I gave my oath ceremony on May 22nd. I still have not received any email or any kind of notice about my citizenship certificate. Can someone please tell me if this is normal. What do I need to do to follow up on this? Can I call IRCC?

Sometimes, even if you don't get email, you can still login to IRCC portal and see if your certificate is available for download
https://ircc.canada.ca/visit-visiter/en/get-account-ircc-portal. Follow this link. Signup if you don't have access already and get invitation code, then login to the portal & check in download e-certificate link.

Also you can write an email replying to your Oath invitation email quoting the officer name (who you did the document verification & PR card cut before the Oath ceremony). And I believe you have already sent the oath signed form once the ceremony is completed.
 
Today I received my GCMS notes. It looks like my primary office is Vancouver and secondary is Sidney. The event office is Winnipeg. There is a discrepancy with the portal. Even though Language, Physical Presence and Prohibitions are in progress since a while, the notes say not started. Also there is an interesting note: "Location: E-Grant Review Ready PM01"

i am wondering if they themselves understand these notes. This sounds confusing.

Hey Congratulations! which was your office?
 
Silly question with apologies to those with serious ones:
For those that attended a virtual ceremony, is there a way to request the little souvenirs / gifts for oath-taking?
I feel like I missed out on little momentos that would have been very special and significant to me. I don't have my little flag for when I became a citizen.

For everyone: It's just around the corner and all set to congratulate you soon!

Why not send an email to immigration? Send your request through the web form if it means that much to you.
