Has anybody seen an update in the news on self-administered oaths? The latest I could find was this update from March 27 implying things were still at a proposal stage:

As posted earlier in this post, we need to wait for the regulation and comments to be published in Part II of the Canada Gazette. Once it's published, it will go into effect on the date prescribed in the new regulation.

Do you think this probably will be implemented?

We'll have to wait to see how the draft rules will be amended after all the comments are taken into account. Watch out for Part II of the Gazette publication dates in the above post...

Part II Canada Gazette publication schedule:
https://www.gazette.gc.ca/pi-ip/ds-p2-eng.html

Here are the next publication dates:
  • May 10, 24
  • June 7, 21
Let's see when they publish it and what amendments they'll have after the comments

Oaths need to be conducted in Canada whether they are in-person or virtual. If/when self-administered oaths become a thing, those will also need to be carried out while you're physically in Canada. You may review canada.ca to check if an exception applies to you or speak to a lawyer.

But the gazette proposed says oath can be taken inside or outside canada , isn’t it true ?
