Hello All,
Just to update, we had our oath / citizenship ceremony on Feb 01 here in Edmonton @ 12:30 PM (actual ceremony started @ 1:30 PM). Around 80+ applicants have taken the oath. Judge had a very pleasant personality and interacted with each and everyone around. The immigration / citizenship process which was started back in May 2013 with sending application for immigration / FSW1 completed in almost 5 years end 9 months.
This forum is amazing, you will find answer and information to every query you have w.r.t to immigration, settlement, or citizenship process, and one can save substantial money by not taking services of a consultant. I have found many individuals here who helped me a lot during immigration & citizenship process without knowing me in person, Kudos to all of you... specially to
@msaeed
@iceberge special thanks for taking responsibility of maintaining July applicants spreadsheet, I hope that you will move ahead with your citizenship process soon.
Just to summarize:

Fortunately, my application progressed very quickly, maybe because I didn't travel once after landing here. Today, we have applied for our passport as travelling back home on March 01 for long due visit.
I wish you all a very best of luck with your citizenship process.
Regards.
