best bet is to speak with an IRCC agent, smooth them into disclosing your details in real time. otherwise order GCMS/ATIP but expect to wait 30 days and possibly outdated info due to lag from generated date to the date you actually get the report.

Got my Oath date update on tracker.
After years of immigration work, final Oath date Unfortunately is when I am in US for work for whole week.
Didn’t got my letter yet so not sure if it’s online or in person.
What options do I have?
Can I give from US if online? But couldn’t destroy my PR card to re enter Canada.
Anyone having reschedule experience? Do they reschedule for myself or family? Also what’s the delay?

It's better to call them for your fingerprint record and double check with your receipt if they receive that because fingerprints are sent to a different office in Vancouver. I sent my application 11 days before you and you can check my timeline. if you compare it with others from different locations you can see it's normal for the Calgary office. Finally, everything will be complete but it takes time.

I ve got my e certificate yesterday morning(4.25 9:30am) and applied for a passport at 10:18am in north york.
passport canada in this location has been merged to service canada and i was waiting 2.5hrs.
i wanted to go to passport canada as its processing time is half than service canada.
when u guys got a receipt, it tells u a exact date u will get. now its about 2weeks but it could be faster.
if u need your passport quick, u have to have a proof.
a representative told me that this location is way too busy so whatever u wanna apply (express or urgent) u have to bring them a flight ticket.

Got everything completed except for background verification. GCMS notes show criminality has passed, but the security section is empty.
I guess my file fell under enhanced security screening, which sucks balls.
