No update from IRCC on citizenship oath ceremony. Next steps?

[NAC10]

Why its so hard for IRCC to let people know when they should expect their oath? To me it's very simple- put people in a queue and obey the first in first out rule instead of doing lucky draws.... Do they really care about people who have been waiting for more than half a year?

I do not think they care.. It has passed a year since I applier and also 7 months since my test...there is no update since then!!

We received our certificates today but the ECAS never got updated (still DM and last line is test invite). Is there any issue with that?

As far as I have seen in this forum in the past, you can't apply for passport before your status becomes complete. But who knows

For passport application having the citizenship certificate matters more, meaning a person having a citizenship certificate is formally "done" with the citizenship processing.

At this point the ECAS not reflecting the correct citizenship application status is due to the fact that the officer handling the last stages of the citizenship application processing has not completed their standard operating procedure of ticking/clicking somewhere in the ECAS system to "complete" the process in the system but have already released the official document.

Anyway in the current situation with normal passport applications being accepted only through mail and the slow processing rate, by the time the passport application reaches the "print/issue" stage, the ECAS status would get updated. In an emergency/urgent scenario the ecas status really doesn't matter and the passport is being given based on the criticality of the candidate's situation.
