I have very similar dates to yours and called two times already, no really point in calling to be honest, they just tell you to patiently wait for test invite.
your application is most likely at Mississauga office, it's mostly June applicants getting test invites now, anecdotally average processing time at Mississauga office is 15-16 months.
You can follow Mississauga office applicants here to get a better sense of how fast it's moving

Thanks, Savva. I need to get my passport early because of my job, I probably need to travel a lot and without a canadian passport I have to apply for a visa each time. Do you know submitting a letter from my job will help the processing goes faster or not?

There is a very strict criteria on urgent processing, you can find more info here. What you described doesn't sound like it would warrant urgent processing.
We are all trying to get to the finish line as soon as possible for one reason or the other
Yesterday (June 11) was the Oath Ceremony and I am now a Canadian citizen!
I just checked eCAS and it changed to “complete”.
It was a long journey since PR application (mine was before the Express Entry) and this forum helped me a lot! I want to say thank you for all members who have contributed to the forum. I will still be around to try to help as well (and also see littleun gets to the finish line).
We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on August 3, 2018.
We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on October 20, 2018.
We started processing your application on October 29, 2018.
This is the most updated info that I have, and since October 20, 2018, I haven't received any new information regarding my application. I applied from Winnipeg, but I moved to Halifax in mid December and then updated my address. I checked the spreadsheet, and I realized that my application has fallen behind. Is this dealy because I moved from one province to another? Should I email/call CIC and ask them...?
By the way, I have never left Canada since I became a permanent resident.

Per what has been shared before on the forum, you should ask the IRCC in writing to move your file to new office. They wouldn't do it automatically. If I were you, I would submit a webform or call them to ask where the file is and how to contact the office if a request to move the file is to be made.

Congratulations on achieving your goal!! Wishing you all the best as a Canadian citizen. Thank you for keeping us all updated through the processing, it is so helpful to all to have an idea of the progress of others in the same boat. Enjoy your new status.
