Yes, everything completed on November 8, 2022 and silence. Vancouver office. Like many, we also feel like we are putting everything on pause until this is finalized.
As per the past trend from Vancouver office it looks like in total the current wait time is 3-4 months after everything completed on profile. Only a few lucky ones are getting Oath scheduled after 2 months.
Could we have the discussions here? Isn't that what this forum is for so that all can see past experiences? If everyone takes away a little bit of discussion from here to private channels like telegram or whatsapp how would we have any history to look at?

It should work. Do add proof documents as mentioned in the link above.
The bachelor certificate doesn't mention if the program was in French or English, though it was fully in French. But the certificate is all in French so I'm not sure..
I'll try to get a supporting documents :/
Update: I found an official transcript of the 2nd year in my bachelor, it's not the final transcript of all the courses. It only contains the courses I did for the 2nd year (total 2 semesters, 30 credits), it's all in French with the university stamp on it, but like the bachelor, it doesn't state that the program was in French but I guess by logic they should know/understand that the program is in French.
In other words, I can't find a document that says (This program was in French/English)

Here are the responses:
1) Are oath ceremonies from Scarborough office in-person or virtual these days? - Both are possible. Some of those are called for In person but majority is Virtual Oath.
2) If virtual, then how long does it take for the citizenship certificate to be delivered? - 2 to 4 weeks
3) If in person, then how long does the passport take to be ready after applying under urgent processing? By end of next business day
Man I haven't even heard anything since my background verification got completed on October 27th. I still have language, physical presence and prohibitions in progress...
Here's to another hopeless week for Vancouver office applicants.
The easiest document is the language exam, english or french, result you used when you applied for your PR. They will accept even it expired.

If everything is in French, I suspect they would assume that your degree was in French especially if it's a Canadian university. Can you request a letter from your university clarifying that the program was in French?
I uploaded a copy of my US diploma (it didn't say anywhere that the program was in English but everything on the diploma was written in English) and had no issues with the language requirement.
