This is called lottery .......................................
Hi guys.
Just wrote the Citizenship test today in Mississauga - 20/20. The interviewer was very thorough and took nearly an hour - they validated all my passport stamps. Good thing I had done translations of all Arabic stamps and taken both my Canadian and US entry/exit travel reports, they were also reviewed while validating against my physical presence calculations. Since I moved to Canada almost 2.5 years after landing and had a lot of entry/exit since, I had submitted a lot of extra documents - phone/utility/tax bills, lease agreements, bank statements, etc. The interviewer jokingly asked if he should be concerned that I sent so much extra stuff.
Aftet he was satisfied, he told me that he was approving my application and asked me if I could attend a citizenship ceremony on August 11 in Scarborough - it is a special ceremony being held as part of Scarborough Multicultural Festival. I told him that I could and he immediately handed me a generic notice to appear for oath. I was told that since the ceremony is in less than 2 weeks, I will not receive anything in mail and that I should just take this notice with me. Ecas still says In Process but I am sure it will change soon. I don't have access to update the spreadsheet so if someone could do so on my behalf, that would be much appreciated.
Relieved at being near the end of the road - it was a long journey and this forum was immensely helpful. Thank you everyone and all the very best to each of you!

There's few oath ceremonies posted on CIC website under "Toronto" rather than Scarborough for August, at many non-CIC locations.
I guess many Scarborough people would be invited to those. There's even 1 already posted for September.
2-4 months is standard time for oath if all is well.
