Hello
When should I expect next updates on this application?
LPP still in progress

Type: Online application
Location: Ottawa
Physical Presence Days: 1101
Application: Single
Application sent: Dec 28, 2022
Delivered: Dec 28, 2022
AOR: Jan 12, 2023
Test Invite: Nov 10, 2023

I noticed a long time elapsed from your AOR to test invite. You can always call and inquire or even order notes but since you recently completed the test you can just wait a little for LPP.

Anyone here who lives outside Canada, and flew in for the Oath ceremony recently? I wanted to understand what I need to have ready for this situation, esp since my oath ceremony is close to the holidays (Dec 21st). Also, after I receive the citizenship certificate, what is advisable? a) remain in Canada, apply for my new Canadian passport and then re-enter the US with a Canadian passport, or b) take the citizenship certificate, return to Canada with my Indian passport (which has the H-1B stamp), and apply for Canadian passport in the US?

Any advice, and experiences of similar situation would be very helpful. TIA!

typically for anyone, they would need PR card, two valid IDs(health card and PR card and any others as mentioned in oath letter), scissors and oath form(to be signed and submitted after oath). whether you want to apply from US/Canada depends on your travel plan. But as per standard timeline, e-certificate takes 2 to 5 business days and then if you have a flight ticket you can go for urgent service for passport. If not, there is a procedure to apply from US as well. Good luck!
