nope, nothing yet. Canada post slows to a turtles pace when they have the holiday season excuse. they can always plan for it better like all the retail store, its not like they cannot predict it.

I know but I was busy preparing for my finals in the first week of august. That's why I was worried about getting stuck with an Oath ceremony after December as I probably would not have been able to make it. But luckily I won't have to worry about that now.

@Kingmaker
Its been really memorable event. You will enjoy the same. Ceremony scheduled at 9: am. we reached at 08:30 am. at 8:45 one lady clerk asked for invitation letter and PR card ready for get in the ceremony room.Checked for everyone through line up. at entrance door another lady clerk received PR cards and allocate our seats which were already on our invitation letter under the with # sign.
Everyone was advised to be seated as per given number. Initially lady clerk introduce herself and explain about the procedure.
Judge showed up at 10:00 am. Very nice and jolly person. Gave a speech,presentation,information about rights and responsibilities,importance of vote and volunteer work importance.
After that all asked to get up for oath. Then distribution of Citizenship certificates according to seat number started with number 1.
Picture were allowed with judge during and after ceremony if some one just missed during distribution.
Last step was national anthem.
Refreshment served outside of ceremony hall.
No interview before ceremony,no questions and obviously no risk of RQ.
Must bring PR card and invitation letter.

Good luck :D :D

I originally called them after receiving the letter but the agent said do not worry about it, just dont show up (so the first time you miss it you don't have to do anything). A few weeks after the scheduled date i got a call from immigration asking why i was not able to make it. i told them the reason, they noted it down and said they will put me back in queue and asked me to wait for the next letter.(the person did not tell me the next date, they asked me to wait for the letter)
