So finally my turn :)
All pending steps completed today and scheduled for an In-Person Oath ceremony on 18 December, exactly when I complete 7 months :)
Where is the In-person Oath?

Since I requested to reschedule my ceremony from Dec 4th, I never heard back from them with a new date.

I already saw people being schedule on the 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th and now 18th, but everytime I send a message to them, they say: "there's no ceremony in a future date"

Hello everyone,
Any idea about the non-routine application processing time? It's been 7 months since I applied and 3 months since all steps marked as completed but no update about Oath. I called IRCC today and agent said that since we as a family were asked to do fingerpints so it is non routine. According to him that non routine can take 2-3 years and it is normal. Is it a real thing or agents make these statements to disappoint people not to call IRCC?

Not all routine applications are created equal, far from it. Issues with physical presence or a long security check can definitely drag an application for a long time, but if everything is complete except the oath ceremony, you're probably not going to wait that much longer. We can't really say how long but another 2 3 years would be very improbable in your case.
Feel free to see whether your MP can help speed up the process.

The ceremony is in IRCC Vancouver office.
