Updated tracker for you. That's great news. It's a little further away then a lot of the citizenship oaths have been scheduled recently, but, at least you have a date now. Yippee!

Thanks! It’s a 7-8 week wait. Not too bad.

https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=910&top=5 I would send them a webform (or possibly an email to the email you received invite from) to acknowledge that you missed it and why. If they consider your reason "valid" you might be able to get rescheduled more quickly. Otherwise, it seems that most 2nd tests might be 2 to 6 months later. But who knows? It's hard to predict with IRCC, especially with different processing offices having such different timing.

Also, could you please provide me with the date that your file began processing, background check complete, and the date you originally found out that you had citizenship test? Just updating the excel tracker.

Everything except Citizenship Ceremony was changed to Completed on Nov 29, 2021 but no update since then. Is this normal? I've made travel plans for July this year and feel like i may need to adjust

Thanks for your help! Hope you get an oath date soon!

Usually a week before, so you still got time, in next 3 days your wife may get an email . Good luck

Wow, *maybe* things are moving for me (don't want to jinx it!)
After nothing for 4 months, then Background verification completed January 27th, today I got Language Skills and Prohibitions completed (Quite how it took over a year to confirm the monolingual anglophone speaks English is a separate question)

So just Physical Presence left...

Just a flurry of updates the last few weeks... today Physical Presence is marked completed so just Oath Ceremony showing 'not started'. I don't think the new online tracker uses "Decision Made" so this is DM for the purposes of our spreadsheet? @CdnWifeLivingInThailand - could you update for me please?

Now back to the inevitable long wait for oath to be scheduled. Nearly there though!
