I had my virtual ceremony yesterday at Niagara office and the Clerk asked us to reply to the 'Invite for the ceremony' but update the subject to 'Oath form for [File Number], [Last Name]'

What is the reason behind less frequent posts for last couple of days? Either majority has witnessed progress or got disappointed to post anything. Holiday season has already been started but we can't avail it because our cases are just hanged in between. I was quite optimistic after test invite that further progress will go fast to finish max by Oct but so much disappointment.

I have same timeline with test and background completed much earlier than yours but still waiting. It has spoiled all vacation plans.

The steps are outlined on page 9 of the PDF that was sent to you confirming the oath scheduling. The above instruction is from the Clerk is correct for sending your signed oath form. The email address to send the signed form is on page 10 of this same PDF (and I think is the same email address that the oath scheduling email was sent to you from).

Does having a security page in GCMS notes that is blank is normal or does it mean the application needs months of wait for a security check?

After online oath did you had to send some signed document to IRCC? If yes, did you send it via email or Canada Post?

Yes, you must send signed oath letter to IRCC no more than 2 days after the oath. The letter is provided in the oath invite email.
You can take a print out sign it (there are two place where you sing, read the instructions carefully). then Scan the document or take a photo of it and email that photo to the same email where the invote came from.
The instruction says that when you send the email keep your subject line as follows: Oath form for [paper file number], [last name].
Also note that papers file number is not same as application number. paper file number is mentioned right below application number on the oath form you are signing.

If you have applied as a group/family. everyone in the group has same paperfile number but different application number.
We sent all our signed oath forms in a single email.

(Do not send any oath form for children below 14 years of age)
I hope this helps.
