Citizenship Test Given -11 Aug; Status updated to "Completed" on 15 Aug. Tracker updated 17 Aug
BG Completed on 8th July.
They haven't asked for Fingerprints so far. Possibly coz I gave my FP when I applied for PGWP, and that's valid for 10 years?
When can I expect the Language, Physical Presence and Prohibitions to be completed? How is Prohibitions different from BG?
Spreadsheet updated. Not everyone is asked for FP, only if it flags the RCMP database due to partial match of name, dob etc, then they as FP to clear that you are not that person and sometimes for QA.
Since your BG is completed, you won't be asked for FP.

I got my "e-certificate download" email today Aug 17.

It has steps to create an ircc portal to download the e-certificate. Either you can use your ircc account from temporary visas or you can create a new one with the invitation code in the email.

Hopefully I will get the oath ceremony invitation next week got confused seeing e-certificate dowload email before the invitation

Added your data to the spreadsheet, could you please share the below missing info to update.

Location (City applied from):
Physical Presence Days:
Application: Single/Family(number of family members):
Background completed date. :

Don't worry about the test, generally they take between 2-10 business days to update the status. Mostly you would see it updated next week.

Yes, many offices send this email before the oath invite email. This is unnecessary confusion but I guess different teams work on them and are not in Sync. You can follow the steps to create the portal account if you don't have it already so that you are ready to download the certificate after the Oath and sending oath forms.
