Same situation here! Did you finally hear back from them? I'd appreciate it if you could share your experience with me.

Hello,
Yes, I got reply after 20 days (within test window). You have to wait for their approval. I would take the exam if they don't reply back till the last day. Once I took the test, My oath scheduled in 12 days.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Good luck to you.

Hello,
thanks very much for the reply, and congrats on your citizenship.
One more question and I'd appreciate your help: Were you back in Canada when you received the Oath invitation?

I was outside when oath scheduled. I booked the ticket when the oath date showed up on tracker. It depends on case to case. Sometimes they ask to be present in an interview if you take test outside. I was lucky they scheduled oath the very next day after LPP marked completed. Also, received the oath invite email on Friday after many follows once came back to Canada and oath was after the weekend.

Just to share my experience in case someone in future has the same problem: I sent an email to the email address mentioned in the test instructions and explained my situation along with documentation (flight ticket). After about two weeks, I did not hear from them, and I decided to contact IRCC. The lady was quite helpful and told me to go ahead and take the test, and that there should be no problem as I had already let IRCC know. I did take the test, passed, and 3 days later it turned green in my status tracker.
