Lucky you! Congratulations.. we share similar timeline, my BG was completed on Nov 24 and not a single update since then, mississauga office
Mississauga office is a bit hit or miss. Some people get oath invites a few days after LPP and for others it takes months. Been waiting for a bit myself but oath still hasn't started.

I think when oath changes to in progress that’s when you get to know your oath date. Does your app say “in progress” or “decision made” ?

Yes I could download my 13y certificate in the same day. But I had to email the office couple times to let them know that we were facing issues when trying to download the certificate for anyone of us.
In one email they told me to try one more time because something was wrong in my account and if that last adjustment didn't work they would need to send us the paper certificate instead of the certificate.

Oath not started. My GCMS notes said citizenship is granted, but the actual tracker hasn't updated since Nov 2 when I got LPP completed.

I logged into my account and saw that my LPP is now completed. I’m hoping that I’ll get my oath ceremony done pretty soon. Anybody in Vancouver still waiting for their Oath?
