Could you please share your full timeline so that we get an idea and provide recommendations accordingly.
Niagara Falls office is generally slow to complete the LPP and schedule oath. Few of the May applicants got the Oath email today, hopefully you would get it soon.

Did you apply for GCMS notes to see more details about what is going on with your application? If not, applying for it will give you more insights.
You can also call IRCC and ask them to send a note to your office since you have completed 8 months now while the published processing time is 6 months.
You can also respond to the test email you received asking them for a status update and faster processing since you are way over the processing times. Hope they look into your application soon.
I called IRCC 2-3 days back and thy told me weirdly my file has been tagged as group application and has gotten attached to someone, which is bizarre according to them as well, as the agent could see anywhere how can that be possible as I have only applied as a single applicant. Now he also told me to submit a web form and asking them to resolve this and wait for their response. Which I already did, they respond min after 2 weeks. he also mentioned that as the other person is still in process due to which you are stuck with him, I can't even imagine how on the earth this can happen??? Asked my local MP to intervene in Sep - IRCC told them to wait until 4 months are complete before they can send a message to Niagara Office (which I am not sure why should I be dragged this much). My MP staff also were informed about this group thing, which the agent told me but was never communicated to me. So I have tried every channel- do you think GCMS notes might helped. As far as I can see via page source no one has even touched it since July 16.
Scheduled for citizenship November 5th in the tracker. No email yet.
I have a trip booked to USA to November 24th. I plan on applying and getting my passport before flying. If I didn't get it in time would there be anyway for me to get back on to the country without my PR card?

I called IRCC today and found out my Primary office is Niagara Falls and my Secondary office is Ottawa. The representative said the Ottawa office should be responsible for scheduling the oath ceremony. My ceremony scheduling has not started yet and is still in the queue. @hssrp Ottawa office is also very slow?

We are both in the same situation. LPP completed Oct 2nd from Niagara Falls and now waiting for Ottawa office to schedule me for an in-person ceremony.
Got an update yesterday. LPP passed finally (They had to validate the physical presence with CBSA as it was 1095 days, luckily it didn't delay the application)
Oath scheduled for 7th Nov
Question : can we reschedule the oath 1 week after? if yes, how do we do it? got plans to travel USA on the same week.
Update : Sent an email to Ceremony team and got the oath cancelled. They will reach out with the new date
