Oh yeah you’re right, thanks @trumprefugee! It seems they contacted the office and then got it scheduled, do you suggest I do that? My DM was done on sept 5th and I’m still waiting for an oath date. Please advise
Yes, many (although not all) people have had luck getting oath scheduled soon after emailing the office asking for an oath date. If you have a reason to justify urgency, even better. Just reply to the email that your test invite came from. Mississauga is one of the slower offices, so you might still need to wait longer, but sending the email could help.

Gotcha, thanks for the suggestion :)

1.5 months waiting for GCMS notes and still not received
I had applied for GCMS notes in March and then in June. Filed a complaint in Aug, and yet there is no response. In my case, my citizenship application is closed but no reply for GCMS till date.

I applied in May but it never came. I guess they stopped issuing notes all together.

No problem. Let us know if they reply/give you oath invite :)
@trumprefugee , I sent my message through the CIC webform for the enquire about oath. The thing is after the test, I had gotten passport and interview request and I saw all of them came from different email addresses, so just to be on the safe, I decided to send it through CIC webform because I didn’t know which one to use to send. Hopefully I get a response.

Hey guys, if it says decision made in ecas but the online tracker still says in progress , everything updated except ceremony, does that mean that the file is just waiting for ceremony or can they still request any information or documents at this point? Please advise

Hello just giving an update, had interview yesterday Aug 23. They ask for all of your passports, ID's and verify language documents. Before attending interview the only thing complete on my tracker was Background check and Citizenship test, everything else was pending. I am October 2020 applicant.

After the interview, the immigration officer let me know they are running a pilot project where you are able to become a citizen the same day! Just need to surrender your PR card. Waited 30 min was taken into a room where I gave oath with officiant, took pictures, gave me my citizenship certificate and that was it!

I will say though that not everyone who was waiting for their interview were given opportunity to become citizen that day. I am not sure how they choose.

Best of luck to you all.
Exactly that was my spouse situation. Though, her online status shows Language skills, Physical presence and Prohibitions was pending and she got the interview on 28th Sep at Scarborough Citizenship & Immigration Canada 325 Milner Ave location. She also offered and got her oath ceremony within same day. She completed Interview, oath and she also got the citizenship certificate at the spot.

FYI, Interviewer asked if she available for Oath Ceremony today or she want to reschedule at later date.

All the very best!!!
