Finally got the oath email, after the tracker update last week. Posting my full timeline below with new updates. @hssrp please update the sheet (and a big thanks for continuous guidance).

Thanks to all members of the community for continued support and encouragement. Wishing the best to all for a speedy processing.

Type: Online application
Location: Oshawa, ON
PO: Scarborough
Physical Presence Days: 1211 (1099 - spouse)
Application: Family (2 parents + 2 children)
Application Sent: 17-July-2024
Delivered: 17-July-2024
AOR: 25-Jul-2024
Background - Completed 09-Aug-2024
Citizenship Test Taken - 06-Sep-2024 (08-Sep-2024 - spouse)
Citizenship Test - Completed 09-Sep-2024 (11-Sep-2024 - spouse)

New updates

Oath in progress - 07-Jan-2025 (update showed on 09 Jan)
Ceremony date - 22-Jan-2025
Oath letter - 13-Jan-2025


Notes:
- Oath ceremony email has come for all 4 of us. Children have also been instructed to attend. I am not sure if it is a hard requirement, but we plan to have them attend as it will be a significant event for them :)
- GCMS notes:
We had requested GCMS notes on 13 Nov 2024, for both adults in the application. This was after 2+ months of test completion. The notes arrived on 6 Dec, and were generated on 28 Nov 2024, but before the LPP update on our tracker (the GCMS notes showed LPP as "not started"). I am not sure if the date of LPP and report generation being the same is a "BIG" coincidence.
I had ordered a second set of notes for myself on 16 Dec 2024. That report has not yet arrived. Would be interesting to note the differences in the 2 reports.

Yes, they send the oath invite for all applicants but it is optional for minor children. However, as you rightly mentioned, it is a significant life event so will be great for them to attend and experience it!
