Hey folks, any idea what happens if my existing Indian passport is expiring in 6 months. Does applying a new one stalls your application?

Applying to renew your Indian passport has no impact on your Canadian Citizenship application.

Just keep in mind, that you cease to be an Indian citizen as soon as you are done swearing an oath to obtain your Canadian Citizenship. The Indian Citizenship Act, 1955 provides for automatic loss of citizenship if you:
voluntarily acquire (consciously, knowingly and without duress, undue influence or compulsion) acquires the citizenship of another country

Tracker updated now my oath date shows 17th January from earlier January 5th. Not sure why. Anyone got their oath date rescheduled?
 
Same thing happened to me today, early in the morning everything was completed except ceremony, then when I checked an hour ago everything went to in progress.
I'm assuming its a technical glitch
same thing happened to me. not sure when the status was changed to 'in progress' but everything is back to 'in progress' now.
 
Update: 8th Nov, 2022
Language skills, Physical presence, Prohibitions are in-progress and oath not started. Only background is completed.

Latest Update: 13th Dec, 2022
Now again my citizenship test status is updated to In Progress in the portal. Only background is completed and remaining are in progress.

I was able to confirm that there's a technical glitch on the tracker. Whatever we saw before the update of Dec 13th is the right status. I know there are specific cases where the oath dates changed, so maybe something to confirm using the web form, but otherwise, nothing to panic. (I am on the same boat where things flipped back to in-progress)

Any idea when do we think we will get the oath done. I have travel plans to India from mid of Jan to mid of feb. Not sure should I complete the oath before or after hence it will let me travel back with PR card.
