We took our virtual oath this morning. Just have your IDs, a black pen and oath form ready. It took about 30 minutes and they told us we should receive the certificate within 2 weeks. Good luck to everyone who’s waiting

Congratulations!!! Looks like an in-person oath ceremony invitation to me. Reasons: (1) Ecas update before any phone call. (2) Also, the notice provides a 14-day time period like previous in-person notification. Others who have received a virtual oath ceremony invitation can verify this better.
Let us see how it turns out. Things are moving slowly but surely in a positive direction.

Hi everybody, happy to report I completed my virtual oath ceremony this morning. Here's my timeline for reference:

June 2019 applicant
Location: Scarborough
AOR: Sept 2019
Test: Dec 2019
Oath invite: Feb 2019
1st Oath: 20 April (cancelled)
2nd Oath: 3 July
Received phone call from IRCC: 22nd June
Email received with oath details: 1 July
Received second phone call from IRCC to confirm logistics: 2nd July

Ceremony lasted around 15 minutes. Organizer, clerk, judge, another IRCC official who stays off camera, and the applicant(s). They ask you to verify your identity (DL, Health card), confirm your location in Canada, show the PR card and read the numbers on the back near the bar code. The judge gives a speech, and proceeds with the oath in both languages. You can then cut up the PR card and sign the oath affirmation form (either physically in front of them or electronically) and email it to them. They will confirm receipt and mail you the certificate between 2-3 weeks. I will report back when I receive it.
Here's hoping you all get some good news soon!
I can answer any Qs any one may have as well (sorry, don't have any info on tests).

Has there been any movement by IRCC Ottawa ? I had my first oath scheduled in October 2019 but it was colliding with a business trip of mine so now I am waiting for my final notice.
