I got the oath email and e-certificate email the same day, but the e-certificate one came later. Hopefully the tracker will work tomorrow. If you haven't received the email in a couple of days, contact IRCC to see if you should have.
Hello Programmer, by oath email, did you mean the invitation to the oath ceremony itself? i hope I will get mine at least a week in advance so I can prepare in-person or do the online version, in which case I should go buy some Canadian Flags for my background like many others.

Yes. You will get 2 emails if you selected the e-certificate option in your application. One is an oath invite and the other is the e-certificate. I got them very near each other, and I got the oath invite first.

From my understanding, until very recently, if you were invited to an in-person ceremony, they just gave you a paper certificate and ignored your request for the e-certificate.

However, I have seen an isolated report here that at the ceremony, they allowed people to take pictures with the physical certificate and then give them back and receive the e-certificate later via the e-certificate portal.

Sometimes IRCC will send the ecertificate instructions email before the oath email. So all good, just waot for the oath ceremony email. call IRCC if you don't get it 6 days before the ceremony date.

That note sounds like you've been referred to a level 2 team to review and provide a decision. For whatever reason, your application requires a more senior and specialized officer to review and make the decisions.
Yes, was able to get in touch with IRCC agent yesterday. They said no further action needed from our end. They were waiting on internal teams to guide and recommend next steps.

Almost the same (adult and minor) but our LPP was completed on November 27. No movement since then.

The tracker still doesn't work on PC for me today, but it works on mobile. Worked yesterday morning at least on mobile too. Anyway, I thought people might want to see the resolution in the tracker. I printed to PDF from the phone and then took screenshots on my PC to try to get it looking like the PC version.

To add to my timeline:

Citizenship oath Completed: April 2, 2024
Tracker updated: April 4, 2024
Citizenship oath: Complete (I guess? The statuses went away)
Tracker status: Closed
Me: Happy

It is showing the error for me when I try to login, but my husband can access his tracker and he just got the oath date today: April 14. We are in Vancouver.
I think I probably got it as well, since our last updates after the test were all the same and same day.
So far, no email.

Would you mind sharing your timeline? I'm also from Vancouver, and my LPP was cleared on March 20. I'm just trying to gauge where I stand with oath scheduling.
