Congrats! Quick Question: Before your decision made - What was your application status in the new tracking app. I have a very similar timeline as you and my Language Skill, Physical Presence, and Prohibitions are all in progress.
September 2019 and Ottawa applicants and hopefully the rest of the offices, hang in there. I received the invitation to the oath ceremony.
The following is the timeline:
- September 2019, application sent
- November 2020, request for passport copies
- April 2021, knowledge test and 11 days later, DM
- May 2021, invitation to attend oath ceremony 5 days later
Mine is identical to yours. It's really weird because I just got my GCMS notes and on those (they were from April 20th) it said that Language, Prohibition and Residence had not even started. Hopefully this is some good news. I'm a September 2019 applicant too.

Just a quick update on my end, almost 3 months after taking the test I got an email with an interview invite yesterday. They only asked for colour copies of my passport. However, having read everyone's points I'm now worried about passport stamp translations. Has anyone gone through this recently? My stamps mostly have arrows coming in and out of the country but I also have stamps with dates and entry/exit words in languages other than English and French. I'm trying to get quotes and I'm trying to decide if I should go through with it before the interview. I would really appreciate any recent interview experience regarding these stamps. I'm glad that my office (Halifax) is finally picking up my application. Wishing all the best to my fellow Nova Scotia applicants and to everyone else.

Anything that is not in English or French should be translated. I highly recommend translating these stamps and sending them to the officer as requested.

This was the wording on my interview invite letter: "Before attending this event, submit all original passport(s) pages in colour and travel
documents in your possession (current and expired)." Hope that helps.
