Yes but its a rare even. Most of the time its takes 4-6 weeks for LPP to complete after interview and then oath is scheduled.
Delayed Applications - Citizenship test taken outside Canada
- Thread starter Praveena544
- Start date
I think you're right but there are posts like the following that made me think this may happen but it's very unlikely in my case at SCB.

When was your test completed? Can you please provide details of your application
Do you expect them to ask you questions about why you left Canada, etc? And also did you update your home address with IRCC with the non-Canadian address? I am going to be in a similar situation, hence asking how you dealt with it.
Yes, they may ask questions like when you left. No, I still have an address in Canada an am temporarily outside Canada so I have not updated my Canadian address

I was outside too , came back cuz they asked to come for in person interview , they didn’t asked anything lol just if I speak English ahhaha and after that he just sent to other room and got my oath and certificate .
I just found this thread.. didn't realise doing the test outside Canada potentially caused delays like this.
For people who had an interview after their test, how long did you typically wait? I'd really hope that if they are delaying applications for people outside Canada they at least tell you? I temporarily moved back to my home country shortly after applying but will be coming back to Canada.. just don't know exactly when. The plan was to fly back after getting LPP.

I gave the test outside Canada and will be giving a video interview soon.
Has anyone given a video interview before?
Should I expect to be asked only about my documents and travel during the eligibility period or should I prepare to answer questions about my travel post application submission as well?

I have been outside Canada right after submission i.e. Jan 2022 and even gave my FP and Test outside Canada.
After an excruciatingly delay, i had my LPP completed on 24th.
