I called them and I asked the agent to remind the office but he told me cannot do that? He did told me my application is non routine and there is no deadline !!!What I should do next time?
1) Does the agent want to put in a reminder for you all depends on who picks up your call. I think I called 4 times and one time the agent was willing to do it. So, it's really by luck, but keep trying.
2) They use the "non-routine" excuse way too often. There's an actual definition of non-routine citizenship application on their website: Link. If your file doesn't fall in any of the items listed there, don't be afraid to tell the agent that picked up you call that and ask why is it a non-routine application.

My application will clock 16 months next week, stuck in the last step 'citizenship ceremony - not started' since May 15 [2024], any advice on what to do? Or I just have to continue to wait in frustration?

Not really, I called ircc last week though, they only repeated what my application status says. Nothing more
You can take help of your MP office, email your processing office oath scheduling address to ask for an update regarding oath. Additionally calling IRCC and raising webform request asking for oath date also helps like once every 10 days.
