I've seen a trend for Thursdays as well! Every Thursday I wait in anticipation of an update lol

Usually Thursday's update will show on tracker on Saturday or Sunday. Interesting.

Yeah Thursday seems to be the day that consulates often update applications. I also got updates on Saturday and Sunday back then about things that happened during the week, like the test marked as Complete.

For those who attended the online ceremony, any issues? Anything to be mindful about? Do they check kids birth certificates?

They just ask for your IDs and such. The person I dealt with was nice/relatable.

Not sure what happened to Mississauga office, seems like max applications are blocked. It has been a month, no update on my application since April 9.
Everything completed except Oath (not started).

Same here.. Everything complete as of April 12 and waiting for oath that is not started as well.

I see us Mississauga peeps are awfully quiet, hence I put up my IRCC sob story every now and then to keep us active.

Minors applications are updated only at the oath stage. For my kids there were no update on BG, LPP etc. Once the oath date was finalized, the tracker got updated for them.
