Got the oath ceremony email invitation yesterday for video ceremony on June 13th....
No, and only 7 DM so far for paper applicants. Online was definitely the way to go in 2023
The trend I’m starting to see though is that paper seems to have their Decision Made much faster after completing the test compared to online applications. Either way June will be a busy month of updates!
Interesting observation - my test and oath email both came from WST-CitizenshipClient-Notification@cic.gc.ca which is the Vancouver office. My wife's test email came from Vancouver as well but her oath email came from IRCC.DNCitCALScheduling-ConvocationCALCitRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca which is apparently the Calgary IRCC. We both applied from Calgary and lived in Vancouver till Spring ' 22. I guess it is purely random 
Random indeed, but, both great locations to have your files being processed atInteresting observation - my test and oath email both came from WST-CitizenshipClient-Notification@cic.gc.ca which is the Vancouver office.

I am optimistic, and probably true for overall avg, Paper apps do catch up.. keeping my fingers crossed for June
I see a change in status on May 31st that Test is in progress Jun2-Jun22 window but no test email received. How many days we have to wait for the email
I agree...honestly I didn't expect to be at this stage before October this yearRandom indeed, but, both great locations to have your files being processed at
...also we renewed both of our PR cards last December and I guess that might have helped expedite our passport application as some of the verifications were already done!!
