Quick question guys, I don't have last name on my original passport and everything goes in the given name. What should I write for citizenship certificate as the first and last name?
greatly appreciate any help.

I'm 2 and a half months after the last update in the portal. However the last real update in the application was in January, when I did the test. This is according to ATIP notes.

I just got my ATIP file and my primary office is Vancouver and the secondary one is Sydney. The Reason your application got stuck is that because it was assigned to IRCC Sydney, which is a very incompetent office. Please see below:

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/gcms-rc-8090.740785/

Whoever has the RC8090 code in their ATIP request, please send an email to the minister at Marc.Miller@parl.gc.ca and the head of opposition party at pierre.poilievre@parl.gc.ca

The only reason we will get our citizenship later is the bad management at Sydney IRCC Office. It is mere arbitrariness of IRCC to grant citizenship for the people who applied after us. There is an upcoming election and please make it clear that if this issue is not fixed, no vote for the Liberals and also tell the Minister that, you will also tell all your friends to vote for the Conservative Party if this issue with Sydney Office is not resolved. Don't listen to people who say just be patient as our case has nothing to do with patience. The Sydney office is nothing but an example of bad management. If we do not speak out today, we might wait for years to get the citizenship.

They will write the same thing.

Happened to me too, but mine was on Last Name field.

They will just leave your last name <blank>

I have some update today. LPP got completed. thank fully!
Would anyone know when will Oath ceremony start or when can i expect that?
timeline is in my signature.

varies anywhere from a few days to 2-3 weeks typical, i.e. approx a month from everything completed/decision made... the unlucky can wait months. also very much depends on your office/location

MIS has the most numerous and frequent oaths of all offices, but it's also the largest. from what I've seen over the last few months, we should ideally get scheduled for oath this week (next week latest) for about 2 weeks out. Oath date at the earliest first week of July, or the week after at the latest end of July. this is just a guesstimate and with numerous sessions on Canada Day, maybe soon.
