LOL, now they're scheduling oath for December this year. But, it is certainly better than nothing. Looks like this trend will follow and a sizable number of September 2020 folks will be scheduled for oath anywhere ranging from August to December.

I've updated the spreadsheet.

That's great, thanks.

Could you please tell me when you got your oath invite email and when your oath ceremony was so that I can update the spreadsheet?

Correction. You posted June 28 for physical and prohibition but they were completed June 25. Also I was away so I don’t know exactly when they sent the certificate but I came last night and found it in the mail. My friend who had same processing office said she received it a week after oath ceremony.

Congrats! this is great news!

Can you please provide info around the Oath ceremony i.e how long it was from start to finish and what are the different parts of the ceremony i.e initial registration in private, Oath in public and then PR card cutting in private?

Thank you and all the best!

Well hopefully Scarborough office will get some applications moving now. I am still stuck at Test completed since June 26.

Thank you.
It took around an hour and a half, we were 20 people in the ceremony . It starts with around 6 people with you to hear some instructions then they put you in a waiting room . When it’s your time you go to private room with officer to double check your address and PR and driving license. Then send you back to common room till every one is ready. Judge will welcome you and then do the oath and sing the anthem. Then you can ask any questions if you have and you can leave. The link to the ceremony doesn’t work from out side canada . Family member can join the public part of the ceremony through the same link. They ask you to sign the oath certificate and cut your PR and send a picture and a PDF to the email they sent the invitation from.
Hope that was useful.
Good luck.

I'm confused a little about "Family member can join the public part of the ceremony through the same link". Does this mean that this link to the public ceremony is accessible outside Canada? Will family members outside Canada be able to use this link to watch the public part of the ceremony?

No only in Canada. I just meant that different family members from across Canada can each the ceremony from there home. My dad tried the link from out side and it didn’t work for him.
