They are supposed to re-start processing this week (April 14th), isn't it?

I remember furthermore that, although they have canceled the interviews, tests, and ceremonies occurring between mid-March and mid-April; reading some of our members here, it was reported that scheduled events for this week had not been canceled.

Assume they will extend the closure. Also assume people will get cancellation notices.

They have been cancelled until further notice. I had an oath scheduled next Monday and I received a cancellation last Thursday. They just haven’t updated parts of their website yet.

Here's the update from official website:

All citizenship events are cancelled
We’ve cancelled all citizenship events until further notice to keep everyone safe. This includes

• citizenship ceremonies
• citizenship tests and retests
• hearings (including videoconference hearings)
• interviews
• citizenship events in our temporary offices (itinerant service trips)

Check the information letter or email we sent you about the events being cancelled.

• We’ll send you a new date and time in the coming weeks.
• If you gave us your email address in your application, we’ll contact you by email.
  • To avoid missing our emails, check your junk or spam folder.
  • Look for messages from email addresses ending in “@cic.gc.ca.”
• If you didn’t provide an email address
  • we’ll send the cancellation letter by mail or we’ll call you
  • check your mailbox or voicemail messages often to see if you got it
