I see people applying after us and they have already participated in the oath ceremony. It makes no sense how they are processing the applications

I just got email from IRCC Scarborough . Now, the revised interview date is May 16th 2023.

Updates:
Today I attended the interview.

Total duration of interview: 5 mins (checked PR card, ID cards, verified the presence with the help of stamped passport) . Please note that I took citizenship from India. May be that is one of the reason they called me for in person interview. there were around 5-6 cases similar to me. all of them rescheduled from April 27th to May 16th.

They were good with my records and presence. and offered me to take the oath

Oath duration: 5-7 mins. ( I along with other person (not with me) took the oath).

Total time - interview time and oath: 50 mins. (between interview and oath waited for around 30 mins)

Thank you all for your support.

We did the oath ceremony yesterday via Zoom. It was really remarkable, both logistically and emotionally.154 people, all online at the same time, being moved from Zoom room to room as the verification process progresses, and then recombining for the oath and anthem. It is truly amazing how fluidly and professionally the event was managed.

As a Canadian, watching my wife amongst screen after screen of thumbnails – such a rich and varied snapshot of the human family – waiting to complete their journey to citizenship, moved me to tears. How far we have all come, overcoming so many barriers, just to take this final step – and feel just the beginning of the relief that we are safely home together.

And yes, she took a selfie with the judge and clerk!

Now, we wait for the certificate, and then apply for a passport.

Thanks to all of you here on the forum, those we reached out to, personally for support, and to so many of the kind and patient IRCC officers who helped us every step of the way. And best of luck to all of you still in the final stages of the process. May your journey come to a quick and successful conclusion too.

do you need to be in Canada to do the zoom oath? The reason I ask is because I have yet to receive a date for mine and will be travelling most of june and july and was hoping to take the zoom oath outside of Canada if possible

Oath has to be taken on Canadian soil.

Yes, you must be in Canada. They reiterated this during the oath ceremony itself. It also states this in the invitation to the Oath Ceremony and asks you to contact them immediately if you won't be in the country on the scheduled date.

Here's the relevant snippit from the invitation:

By participating in this video oath ceremony, you confirm that you, and any family members associated to your application, will be taking the Oath of citizenship in Canada. If you are not currently in Canada, contact us as soon as possible in order for us to reschedule your ceremony. Indicate “Outside Canada – Oath of citizenship” in the subject line of the email. Within the text of your email, include your name, application number and planned date of return to Canada.
