I was told that the significant delay in my case is as a result of the fact that at the time I have applied for citizenship there were lots of people applying and the backlog become so great that they changed some rules. They also moved files from one office to another in a futile attempt to speed up.However, as i have applied in the spring of 2011 long time passed and they need to re examine the application in order to make sure that there is no change of circumstances, like criminal record, being absent for long period and so on. In short, because we waited long, we will have to wait even longer. So those people who apply now and become citizens way faster should consider themselves very lucky.

CIC responded to the email from my MPs office , then they related the information to me. Don't know if this is same for everyone who waits long time or CIC picks only some applicants to review their applications.

it seems a generic information, probably you can find it somewhere in FAQs too. Your file is stuck at Scarborough office... and they are the ones who can provide the accurate information. I know you wrote a letter to them, let's hope they respond soon.

So, I took my Oath at Scarborough this Monday. After the ceremony you should wait for 2 business days before applying for the passport and it was not clear for me how to count those two days. So I asked the judge at the ceremony (I have to leave for a trip on next Monday and my PR was taken away at the ceremony). She said I can apply on Wednesday, and I did it.
The lady at passport Canada checked my printed at home tickets for Monday next week and approved me for 2 days rush processing ($50 extra). I brought my garantor (a Canadian citizen) for the Passport Canada office, and it was very smart as well (they don't have to call or email to the person, just to check his ID).

The ecas updated only earlier today in the morning (Thursday) stating "Completed".

Good luck to all who are still in the process, and thank you very much for the help!
