we submitted our application on Sep 14th,2023, my timeline has been posted already.
My BG was completed in Oct but for my husband it is still in progress. no finger print has been requested. Should he call and see if they want fingerprints? When BG is delayed does it usually mean they should have finger prints to process it?

what extension do you guys use to get updates from IRCC over the phone?
1-888-242-2100
Prompt: 1-1-UCI-1-1-4-1-1 (after UCI, might be pressing 1 three or two times, I didn't remember correctly, but after the long speech about situation in Ukraine and Gaza, it's pretty easy to follow)

My status is updated to "You've been scheduled to attend your citizenship ceremony on February 8, 2024. Follow the instructions you will receive in your ceremony invitation." on Jan 24th, 2024 but no email about the instructions yet.

How long does it take to receive the Oath instructions email after the status has been updated on the tracker?

You can expect to receive it exactly one week before the ceremony date. (ETA February 1)

I haven't received anything by email yet either. But the oath ceremony date was updated on the tracker the same day; It rarely happens. Hope you get new updates soon. Could you share your timeline and let others know whenever getting new updates?
Sure, I can update.

No update or email on the oath yet. I was told by one of my friends that they received their oath dates today for February 8th. Looks like it takes three to four days after the last update for the oath intimation. In my friend’s case it was updated on the fourth day, after a last update on the 24th. Things are moving fast for good, I hope.

I’m in the same boat. Expect to receive it soon. Couple of people I know did, in the next four days. Could see that is approx. timeline in the google sheets too. I’m hoping it happens soon for me too.

Fairly sure it's a manual task, i.e. someone from the specific office opens a queue and one by one sends out the oath invitation emails. That's why there's inconsistency in timing.

If you have not received the oath invitation email 1 week before the date of the ceremony, reach out to IRCC and ask for help.
