Added your info to the spreadsheet. Vancouver is little slow for most applicants, hopefully you should hear something very soon. I am from Vancouver office as well and waiting for further updates.

The average processing time are the ones currently advertised, so 6 months as per the latest updates.

Received an update in the tracker today. Oath scheduled for November 18th but have not received the email with instructions yet. Do we know how long that takes? And the portal does not even suggest if it is online/in person.

They usually send it closer to the oath ceremony so you might get it by end of next week

I have a trip scheduled from Dec 1st to 9th, just in case I receive the oath invite, should I move it or is there any way that I can get to enter Canada without a passport/PR card?

I'm okay with rescheduling it in case I get the invite, but I wonder if they would have any ceremony past Dec 9th, since we would be getting close to holidays.

My update:
Oath Letter Date: Nov 1
Oath Date: Nov 8 In-Person

Hi @hssrp, for an in-person citizenship oath ceremony, will I receive a physical citizenship certificate rather than an e-certificate? I selected an e-certificate in my application but now I prefer a physical one because I could get it on the same day.

you would not be able to enter without a passport and the PR card is cut during your ceremony. Also note that you need to be in Canada for the oath ceremony even if it s a virtual oath. If the travel is unavoidable the the only option is to reschedule oath. If it is very close to the holidays, they they would most likely move it to next year. Hopefully you get the oath soon !

Irrespective of what you select, they usually provide by default:
a. Paper certificates during in-person ceremonies.
b. e-Certificate during virtual ceremonies.

So you should be good!
