I heard that the new Oath process got rejected by the parliament
*Before you panic and get others to panic make sure you check your sources and always cite your sources!*

Did you know that all the bills in consideration in the parliament are listed publicly? You can read through the text of every bill!
Here you go: https://www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bills
There are only two bills amending the Citizenship Act in the current session and none of them have anything to do with self administered oath...

Self-administered Oath without an IRCC official or citizenship judge is being promulgated as a regulatory change and is currently under comment period till Mar 27.
See the Canada Gazette regulatory change proposal here: https://canadagazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2023/2023-02-25/html/reg1-eng.html

Also did you know that IRCC publishes a departmental plan every financial year? Take a look at the 2023-24 plan. They explicitly list self administered oath as a goal. See my summary of the FY 2023-24 departmental plan here:

I have been having trouble with the online application tracker for a few days now. After logging in it just keeps saying Loading/ Chargement and doesn’t get past it. Anyone else having this issue?

Hi, my application has everything compete except the oath. However, I have travel plans between April and May and I am suspecting that that oath will likely happen around May. Is there anyway we can ask IRCC to schedule the oath after certain date (when I will be back) or any other options which which anyone suggest to do in this case?
