We got our citizenship certificates in couple of days after our virtual oath ceremony on 16th July. Currently, they are only accepting urgent passport application? Has anyone applied for new passport recently after getting citizenship certificate even if they are not planning any travels in near future?

Read somewhere you can book appointment for urgent passport or apply through mail for normal passport. You may want to check more details on this.
 
In 2 days it will be a year since they received my application and it still shows "In Progress" that's severely disappointing
Does anyone know what they are doing with people like myself who do not have to take the test and have not had an interview? I applied in July 2019 and In process sense Nov 5th 2019. I called IRCC and spoke to someone about where my application stands and was told that I passed the background and that all my paperwork was in order but that they had no timeline as to when I would take the Oath or if I still needed in Interview. Can anyone tell me if they are in the same situation as I am with NO Test needed but No interview given so far. What is next if anyone knows????
Thanks for any and all help.

Sorry that I cannot help. They only said that I passed the background check but didn't give me any details about what they did or when it was done.

Nothing much can be done.. there are people who applied in feb 2019 and myself from June 2019 and still in progress no updates coz they can’t have tests.. just playing the waiting game..
 
Does anyone know if there are updates about the citizenship test? Probably, someone had talked to IRCC officials-friends.
 
My ECAS was updated on friday with the following message not sure if its in person or virtual yet. The message would indicate in person but it may be a standard message thats not updated. we are in Calgary.
