My BG verification and LPP are pending. I wasn't asked for fingerprints though.
Last update was June 19 for the test.
Looks like I'm seeing more people have BG completed but just waiting for LPP.
Online application from Montreal.

Hi Folks, my tracker was updated today with the Oath date (Feb 9th). How do I know if I'm scheduled virtual or in-person for the ceremony? Is that detail part of the invitation email received a week before? Thanks.
 
I have completed my oath ceremony yesterday (January 30), and it went smoothly by God's grace. My citizenship updates on this forum/thread has finally come to an end.

This forum including the March 2023 thread(and the people who post in it) have been of great help both during my PR and citizenship journey, and for that - I'm grateful.

To the few still awaiting updates, it'll be coming soon - that I'm sure!!

Identical timeline. Got a GU Oct 27th, 2023 but that's an useless GU. Primary office is RC-8090, secondary office is Scarborough, the slowest combo :(.

Citizenship Test was completed on June 11, 2023
Ghost Update was on October 27, 2023

When can I expect update on the ceremony? How long does it usually take once LPP is completed?

Email will have the details about the type of interview. Not being in Canada is normally trigger for interview not GCMS notes.

What they may ask - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/posts/10420661/
 
I became a Canadian citizen on the 29th January along with 100+ others.

It was done via zoom and apparently Mississauga was the first office to offer zoom during the pandemic. Not sure why that explains the delay… :)

I was offered the e-certificate option and later on that week (Thursday/Friday) it arrived. I then went to the passport office to summit my application as I am travelling soon. Took about 3 hours in total but will pick up my passport later on this week.

Do not give up. To be honest I stopped checking a while ago as your time will come. Do not worry!
