This is great! But what is meant by "some"? Are they still giving it a try and based on the "some" sample they will decide? Or making it available for "urgent" cases. It is not clear at all.
Sounds like the some sample includes urgent cases + those who already had a scheduled ceremony date before it was cancelled.
Then it seems like they will begin scheduling those who have passed their tests but didn't receive an oath date.

Which city are you located? It seems like most recent virtual ceremony cases are either in GTA or Edmonton/Calgary area.

@sydcarton I think, the word "some" as mentioned by IRCC in a recent short statement on its website, apparently reflects the sequence of applicants' cases as you pointed out above. Having said that, IRCC is yet unpredictable and their words, statements etc, in such a context, seem to be unclear and sort of little complex to decipher.

@Eagerciti I can understand your feelings. Of course, the long-awaited would-be citizens have associated their future plans, excitement, celebrations etc with the new citizenship, and indeed it causes frustration, impatience and it's totally natural. IRCC again has just stepped in and officially started video oath ceremonies. Hopefully, they'll expand it from "some" to "more".

The way everything is opening up in different provinces, I think IRCC might also consider opening in-person oath ceremonies with proper physical distancing guidelines.
