May I ask, how many days after your oath were you able to submit your passport application?
You can apply as soon as the next day. As soon as you see your ecas updated to "complete", you can apply.

If they are in the same passport, yes you will need to translate everything. If its an old passport even before you applied for Canadian Immigration, then no need. I had to translate two my passports, as when I initially applied for immigration in 2009, I had to translate that as well.

You have been seeking advice in almost all threads. Members have already advised you to call them directly. Have you tried calling IRCC, and sending webform? You can order your GCMS notes, which can throw some light, though it may take about a month to receive. As all cases are different, members will not have specific information to your case, they will all advice you to keep calling directly until you get a satisfactory answer from IRCC. You can even approach your MP for help.
