Can someone please advice about the interview date? I see in the tracking sheet that most people who took the test also got an interview date. Does this happen before or after the test? I just got a test invite without an interview date so I was wondering if it happens immedietely after the test or what should I expect exactly? TIA!

Currently Interview date on the tracking sheet means "the date you took the test" and is not about the actual interview. Before Test and Interview were compulsory, so that thing is still being used in the tracking sheet. Interview currently is optional and a few get it, mostly who give test outside Canada or whose application processing took a long time. It generally happens after the Test before the Oath and sometimes just after the interview they may ask you to take oath on the same day too. You may not be called for an Interview and get Citizenship without it too.
Does anybody else have issues with accessing citizenship application tracker?

That would be better to receive e-certificate after online Oath, which we won't need to wait for few weeks to wait for delivery of paper certificate, however, How could we apply for Canadian passport by mail-in application ? mail-in application requires paper certificate along with application forms.Finally, my dream come through!!!!

That a grey area as mail-in still requires you to send original certificate

For the time being I feel e-certificate applicants need to go for in-person and sort out any issues then and there.
As e-certificates become mainstream they might sort out issue with mail-in too.
IRCC and Passport Canada are virtually the same, so they change policies and procedures as stuff updates so no need to worry about that.
On this link, it says you can use the E-certificate to apply just like you would. so IRCC would already let Passport Canada know that this change will be in effect etc. and passport Canada most likely will update the application form soon

If you have an e-certificate, you can
- always access it online
- download and save it to any digital devices, such as a mobile phone, laptop, desktop, or tablet
- print it
- use it as you would use a paper certificate to access services and benefits, for example, when applying for a pension or Canadian passport
do you happen to know anyone who received the invitation.. ? thank you!Finally, my dream come through!!!! I talked about this on this thread Last month and here it finally is!!!!
