The interview is not for everyone. It is random. Usually people who take the test outside of Canada are required to have an interview. Otherwise, they just want to chat and verify docs. The Oath invite hard to say. 3 months to 6 months I would say. My guess is based on the friends' application and their timeline. So, please take it with a grain of salt.

Today is day 7 from when I last checked the IRCC portal for updates.
I wasn't checking all through the summer and life was good. Then once I got background check updated to complete I was checking multiple times a day. It was driving me crazy. So I had to play this game to see how long the streak would last before I checked again.
So far so good. Fingers crossed

My wife sent hers on Aug 8th and nothing except an update of receipt and that they will check the fingerprints (this was on Sept 12th). "Shortly" has been 3 months and......silence
Checking constantly doesn't help one bit. In my opinion, it's better to just hope and pray that the IRCC agent assigned to your case doesn't decide to resign or get fired as the IRCC will happily let the case languish for years without taking any action. The CBC did a pretty good article on it https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ircc-immigration-officer-container-placeholder-code-inactive-list-1.6669571
In the same boat, FP were received by IRCC on July 6th, since then complete silence. They forget I believe.
The only reason hey acknowledged receipt of fingerprints is because they had to issue GCMS notes and they took them out on Sept 12th.
Thanks for this link. Yes, I really hope none of gets an agent that leaves mid way.
Yes, checking constantly just raises the anxiety. I wish I could just forget about it. I couldn't. So I am playing this game. Day 7 today, so far so good.

just hope that your file was not assigned to one of this non existing staff.
Your file is likely languishing with Niagara Falls - did you check with IRCC where it is ?
Even if you find out where the file is, there's not much you can do. IRCC just doesn't care enough to do anything about it. What I heard from an IRCC staff was the processing time is 24 months so any inquiries beforehand would just be referred to look at the processing times. If you have an urgent request then you can contact ircc if not then you will be made to wait till the staff returns from Bahamas
