Update on my end:
App-type: Online
App on: 25 Aug
Test on : 21 May
Test pass Complete : 27 May
All complete (except Oath) : 21 Jul
Oath: Not Started

Question: I am travelling (outside Canada) on first week of October. If I completed my Oath before that & do not receive passport (or even certificate) by then, can I still travel with my old (home-country) passport?

As far as I know, the old passport would not be valid after oath ceremony??

Suggest please. Your few words would save my day. Thanks.

Congrats
You got an update on Sunday ?
 
My test result was updated to complete on March 29 (almost 4 months ago), and since then nothing happened to our file. It is a paper application of Family of 3. (From the test invitation email address, it looks that the processing office is Scarborough)
status so far: background done Dec 8, 2021, and test completed on March 28, 2022., the rest are still in progress

Is it normal, is there anyone in same situation? Any advise or just wait and wait and wait?

the best thing to do is just to wait and forget about it
why stress yourself with something u have zero control on.
u applied, you check from time to an other and that s it

You are obliged to surrender the old passport post citizenship ceremony (i only know about Indian Passport), even if you travel post-ceremony, how you will enter back to Canada, as you will not be having PR card or a passport? Beter get the documentation done and plan your travel then. All the best.

We recently welcomed our baby boy. Is there any rule to notify IRCC ? I also went to US for 2 days last month, and need to go again next month for business meet.

Test complete June 15, spouse test completed Jun 20.
BG done - May 29 or +/- few days.
Language, Physical Presence, Prohibition In progress.

Yes, you need to inform CIC about the change in the family. May be you do not have to show about US travel , but not 100 % sure for that.

1.- You don't have to inform to IRCC about your new baby.
2.- You can travel any time, no restictions, at least you don' t meet RO requirements.

I got an update on 21st July except physical presence and oath. Does it mean they will invite me an interview? I read something about it on Facebook group. I don’t know if it’s true.
