No update from IRCC on citizenship oath ceremony. Next steps?

Back in mid February, I was invited for a citizenship test in early March. However, I was in the US for my work. So I contacted IRCC immediately for rescheduling. I reached out a couple times to follow up via email and the web form but I NEVER heard back. I also didn't get any notification from IRCC including COVID. Anyone have a similar situation? I understand that due to COVID, everything is cancelled. But not getting any responses for 4 months is ridiculous.

@mena9596 Probably they'd internally planned to cancel all citizenship events at that time, so you didn't get reply. You'll hear once it's your turn.
As ircc said, "Ceremony ready clients are now being contacted to schedule video ceremonies. Individuals should wait to be contacted about their video ceremony date." https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1273226295535644674

I have heard some people notified to have virtual ceremony 3 weeks ago. However after that, seems no more
Hello, I am Krishan the citizenship candidates who have successfully passed citizenship test and interview in 21st Jan. After some time, I had called IRCC helpline every few weeks. They have confirmed that my application is complete and only awaiting scheduling for oath ceremony. Now months have passed and I am in the same frustrating waiting situation as many others in this forum.
It may be due to manpower issues, process issues etc. But the backlog needs to be checked and cleared. IRCC is holding everyone's lives in uncertainty.
How can we all find a way as a group to forward our request and be heard? Is there any way that our dollars, the already paid for citizenship fees, can force the government to help us as a humanitarian way??
Thank you...

It's on IRCC official twitter webpage.

Looks like they are calling anyone who is ready for oath...thats a great news....
Hopefully I get one soon!
Yes, hope for the best. I'm sure whatever information IRCC social media team releases on that platforms, is duly approved by the higher authority.
Assuming they're contacting families first then individuals - courtesy

There are already hundreds and thousands of awaiting applicants who'd have contacted or been contacting IRCC regarding their postponed/cancelled citizenship events. We're a bunch of them on this forum sharing ideas and speculations based on the official info available so far. Don't worry, we're in the same boat.
