You probably won't receive an email from them until a day or on the day of your scheduled date. It looks like they are rescheduling on a day by day basis because no one knows what will happen the next day. The strike might end tomorrow or next week, so they wouldn't want to cancel anything way ahead of time, at least that has been the trend so far. All we can do is hope and wait.
I spoke with a friend who know someone that work with the IRCC Calgary zone, she said the idea she has is that people who got thier oath canceled due to the strike will probably get a backline reschedule. And they won't cancel already ahead of time scheduled ceremony if the strike is to be called off next week or anytime soon, some people actually had their ceremonies today even with the ongoing strike because not all IRCC workers are under the Union.
I sure do know IRCC don't Prioritize citizenship grant or PR Application for a fact and tbh this is just a bad timing for people who have their ceremonies at this point of time. hopefully the get a closer backline date if the strike should end anytime soon.

well yes, I did say that, and I was the one who posted that I know someone who had their ceremony today. I also said that ceremonies are being canceled so far on a day to day basis, so if the strike is still ongoing close to your ceremony date, you will hear from your office with either a cancelation or it may proceed as scheduled. All we can do is wait

My ceremony is scheduled for May 9th, and I wrote to my office (SCR), below is what they said:

Unfortunately, we cannot confirm presently. In the event, the current labour dispute affects your scheduled ceremony, you will be rescheduled automatically after the strike is settled.

I also wrote to them (SCR) as my ceremony is scheduled for next week and they didn't reply lol but It will probably be the same response you got. It's a day to day thing so fingers crossed

What is their email address? My ceremony is next week and my office is also SCR.
I may try to email them in a couple of days if I don't hear any updates.

What date is your ceremony? If you've already received your notice to appear then you can respond to that email with your question
