Hey Congratulations.
I have very similar timelines to you. I received a ghost update on the portal today. Does that mean anything? Did you receive a ghost update before LPP was completed?

My timelines below:
Oct 26: Applied
Nov 6: AOR
Jan 11: Background Verification Activity Status "Completed"
Jan 14: Received Notification to take the Test
Jan 24: Test Taken
Jan 28: Citizenship Test Activity Status "Completed"
Feb 13: Ghost Update - "New Update" across 4 of the activities but no real change

No GU for me, have been checking everyday since the Test. But sounds like you're very close!

No email yet for the oath ceremony. Last update was on February 6th in the Tracker with Oath scheduled for February 28th. The whole system is weird with some people receiving the email first followed by an update on the tracker versus some receiving both updates at the same time versus some just receiving the oath update in the tracker with no email.

I called IRCC call center they just keep saying wait for the email to be sent with no guidance on when email will be sent. The whole system seems overly complicated to me.

Why not just send the email at the same time as updating the tracker for the oath ceremony.

How many people are on the same boat as me where you are waiting for the oath ceremony email?

Different offices have different way of working. Next week you should get the email.

That would be the majority. Updating the tracker seems to trigger the email in most cases. Those who get the emails first seem to be the anomaly. I'm basing this on all the posts I've read these past few months. And this was my experience as well. I received the email after tracker was updated. Also, the note they have on the tracker implies the same thing. IRCC states to wait for the email as that is the formal correspondence even if the tracker is updated.

Could anyone who has done the fingerprint request tell me how many business days it took for RCMP to send it out to IRCC? Mine is still "in process" according to the RCMP phone line, and it's been 4 business days.
