Hi all,
I inquired about taking the oath ceremony online yesterday and got this response today:

My wife just received her invite for Video Oath Ceremony today from Vancouver office. She had her previous oath date on 26th March. We didn't email or asked for urgent processing.
Congrats - when is the ceremony and did they say when they would email the details?
