My citizenship ceremony was scheduled for April 25th, 2023 at 11 AM PST and I haven't heard anything...
Also haven't been able to log into the tracker, seems like a common issue for people in this stage of the application

I know couple people, with May ceremony date. Already the have their notice to appear email including me.
I actually got my notice to appear email 8th Of this month, exactly 1month prior to my *MAY* ceremony. That being said, I have a friend that work with IRCC. She's the one that actually told me canceled oath will definitely be at the backline for reschedule.
Yes, in your case it is an OFFICIALLY scheduled date. But VERY VERY FEW people actually get their email so far in advance. You are one of the lucky ones.

The vast majority of the people (even as seen on this forum) get their invitation email only about a week (or less) before the tracker scheduled date.

So, even if the rescheduled people are behind (in line) these "officially" scheduled people, it won't make too much of a difference, because there are SO FEW who got the emails in the first place!!

Are the citizenship ceremonies continuing with the strike? From what I understood, they’re supposed to be rescheduled. You can check what immigration experts mentioned in this talk I heard the other day: https://www.linkedin.com/video/event/urn:li:ugcPost:7054443104895959040/ Nobody is 100% sure if all work is halted or not. Some seem to be working but mostly the message is that don’t expect much to progress while it’s going on. Good luck, I hope the strike won’t have a big impact!

Has anyone gotten an invitation for Oath ceremony since the strikes began? I wonder if there might be some of IRCC staff still working on these?

Some may not be striking ( no one is forced to strike) but essential workers won't likely be working on normal citizenship files.
