I have a very similar timeline. I got my LPP on December 4th. Primary office is Sydney and secondary is Niagara. Oath not started after a month…….
Sorry to hear that, I hope we both get scheduled soon. Processing time is now 15 months so worst case scenario, we can inquire in 3 months. Slowly but surely we will get there!

Ah, but they requested fingerprints for me in February (which expire in 3 weeks as they only last 12 months) so they can then say my case is non standard and therefore those time limits don’t apply! ;-) I’m fully expecting them to request fingerprints again in February….
 
Hey everyone, so I finished my oath yesterday (Dec 21st). It was an online one for about 125 people—finally, a stable immigration situation, after a long wait. I received my citizenship certificate today (opted for e-certificate). Thanks to everyone on this thread for answering questions, giving useful tips and most importantly, keeping the spirits alive when things were dragging and cheering each other on. I will hang around on the forum if I can be of help in any way. My timeline below:

I am applying for passport on Dec 27th, with next business day pickup. So, hopefully, I'd get it by Dec 28, 2023 (which would exactly be a year from when I applied :D)
Hi, did you get your passport? I was reading on IRCC's website that next business day pickups are more emergency cases only. I am flying in for my oath ceremony so I will have a return flight, is that enough to apply for the next business day passport?

Hi everyone,

As noted in my previous posts, we have our oath ceremony scheduled on 10th Jan. I see in the ECAS tracker that the ceremony is scheduled for 7:45am start. I haven’t received the link yet. Today, I received the email with instructions to download the e-certificate.
I know that it’s the weekend, and I may not be able to reach anyone today or tomorrow. Is there a number I can call on Monday? TIA

Hello,
Any paper and Family applicants from Ottawa office got their oath ceremony notification.
No update since April. So frustrating!!!
