I believe it’s Montreal based on the email address I got my test from.
Montreal and Niagara Falls office are the slowest. I am a June 2021 applicant and in the same situation. Since you are already on the 24 hour deadline, contact your MP and also raise a web form.

I’ve actually raised two web forms in the past two weeks and sent two emails to the same email from the test notification. I got a response yesterday Simply saying it’s in process and there’s nothing I need to do. I’m writing the MP tonight.

my last update was november when all was (finally) marked as complete, i took the test back in April 2022. Still waiting on oath, my MP says there s nothing she can do and webform replies are generic. Frustrating process for sure

Hi A$A$S$, any update on your case?

I received the same request for additional information, but I haven't got any mail or email. May I know how you handled the case? Thank you.

I tried to reach them on phone several times without luck, i raised a web form no luck, however, i reached them on twitter and the response was that if there is no actionable request, it MAY be a mistake. To my surprise, i got an invite for citizenship test on February 10 and i wrote it yesterday but there has not been any update.

Thank you for sharing. I'll try reaching out to IRCC. I wish the best for your application.

well it took forever but FINALLY I have a date for the oath: May 30th, just got the update today in the tracker.

End of the process for me, best of luck to everybody still waiting. Not sure if contacting my MP helped or not but if you are still waiting, try it too.

Please my LPP changed to completed today but the Citizenship ceremony is not started, how long does yours take after LPP changed to completed before getting a date for your ceremony?
Whats your processing office. Mine is Ottawa and I am waiting since 03 Feb 2023 for Oath after LPP completed.
