During the OATH ceremony, they said the certificate will be sent in 4-6 weeks (Montreal office)
Not an expert by any means so take my musings with a grain of salt.
Having said that, you are going to as many opinions on which is better between online and paper application as there are people on this forum. So look at the spreadsheet, study the trend and choose which option suits you best. Each application method has its pros and cons.
Good luck.
Hello,

I phoned IRCC and was able to reach them in about 15 minutes (lucky). Having said that, the agent checked with my application and said everything looks fine, no pending document or anything. But she is not able to let me know when I will be getting citizenship test.
When I mentioned that I saw lots of 2021 applications already completed. She was "shocked" to hear that because she did "not" know it. (eh.....?)
She said that given the fact that my application is only been one year, it seems "fairly normal" to be still in progress. (what the heck...)

You should’ve asked them what do they actually smoke
I’m in the same boat. Vancouver/single/paper applicant. No update since background verification completed :-( not even the test :-(by the way, I am a paper based applicant. I have access to both ECAS and the new tracker.
Just curious if there are folks out there in the same boat..
- ECAS: it has stopped updating since Sep 2021
- New Tracker: more up to date (last update Jan 2022)
(FP completed, Background completed, waiting for TEST. Others: in progress)

Vancouver paper based single
Application delivered by mail: February 9, 2021
AOR: April 13, 2021
Fingerprint required: September 15, 2021
Fingerprint received: October 28, 2021
Background verification status updated to completed: October 29, 2021
Last update: October 29, 2021
Oh dear ... I thought I was unfortunately enough. We have very similar timeline except for background completed.
I saw the processing office is in Surrey (not that it matters or not).
I've been checking online tracker multiple times a day religiously. I also studied the guide, practised the questions religiously ..... now my passion has died somewhat ..
I got this (standard) reply from ST- Citizenship Official Vancouver Citizenship Office

Everything has been completed bar ceremony!
The biggest hurdle was the 3 month delay in having RCMP sending my fingerprints to the wrong address....
Cheers all!
