So it seems like it is currently taking 17 months from application to oath for Edmonton. Well, all we can do is wait.
17 months. It's still ridiculous compared to 7 months in Toronto, Montreal and Vancounver. How gov keeps the promise to short the whole process withine one year in Edm starting from 2015/2016?
There is TOTALLY no sign of speeding in EDM after fees change.

Great job! So they gave you your oath-taking notice right after the test?

That's pretty ridiculous! Well they should've increased the prices for only those cities if they get that kind of treatment. Hopefully, EDM gets better this year.

You should be fine as long as you have the notice from CIC. I read from some applicants that their ecas was not updated but they have the notice. Good luck to us! :)

I took the test today and got 20/20. That made me happy. However, i had one issue during the interview with the officer. My passport does noy have the entry stamps to Canada. I had two trips- 2012 for 23 days to my home country and 7 days to Mexico in 2013. The officer said that she will request a report from CBSA of my entry records (which will take a week or two). Once they confirm everything, theu will send me the notice for oath tAking within 2-4 months.

My question is: does CBSA have the complete record of our entry to Canada? I dont really remember how they checked my documents when I came back here from those 2 trips. Please share any experience or knowledge you have and should this be a major concern?

Do they ask any other question?

I just did the online practice test and read the book. The officer asked me question regarding my employment, education in canada & she checked my old and current passports.

The CBSA records are notoriously incomplete, but travel via air appears to be recorded more consistently than land crossings, so chances are those two entries into Canada will be in there. Even if they aren't, CIC is aware of this issue and I doubt they'll make a big deal out of it.
