congrats..just for people who are still waiting after test....My status always had been "IN Process" until today when it got changed to Decision Made and has information with regards to oath to be held on Sep 21st.

So its not consistent for everyone. Status changing to Decision Made without oath invitation might not make much of a difference .....I believe its all based on Application Date. So patience is the key..I know its hard but thats what it is.....

The citizenship ceremony search page indicates:
Ceremonies are not all the same. Ceremonies that are "Open to the public" are subject to facility restrictions. In some locations/venues, the number of guests could be limited.
Are Calgary oath ceremonies open to the public?
Specifically, I would like to know if I can have guests attend the ceremony with me.

I guess I found the answer myself; for ceremonies in the search result it says "Yes" for the field "Open to the public" of all ceremonies in Calgary.

Looks like Calgary really want to get caught up on the oath backlogs...

Just looked up the schedule and there are 3 oath ceremonies on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday next week.

They used to only hold them on 2 days a week.

It looks like that lot of oath ceremonies will be happening in next few weeks before the elections. They have updated the website with new dates and regions (Lethbridge, brooks etc) are also showing up now.
