Same boat, last update in my case was on May 5. 2025 for the citizenship test completion. Then no updates whatsoever!
Is it that the government shifted focus to deprioritize Citizenship Applications after Mark Carney was elected? Before the election, things were moving super fast for my friends who applied but then it all stalled (amost stopped) after the election!

IRCC workforce reduction has led to this slowdown.

You should wait for IRCC decision about the Language part.

So I should push back the test date again and wait on the language decision?

Are February applicants getting their LPP done? March and April applicants are getting their oaths scheduled. It looks like majority of Feb applicants are stuck.

Yep. very frustrating process. But you can say the same for December and January applications seeing our February group getting Oaths done.

Hey Folks, I have a unique situation and would like some feedback. When my wife and I applied for citizenship she did not have the English test. We are from an English speaking country and our education system is 100% in English. I explained this and attached all her education credentials from our home country (none of it was ECA reviewed). We booked a Celpip exam after submitting but kept rescheduling because the applications were moving forward. Now we are waiting on LPP for over 2 months, when we call IRCC there is nothing outstanding on our file. We just have to wait.

Should she go ahead and do the test at this stage? I pushed it off to give the processing more time, that way I could get a 50% refund of the test fees. What are your opinions? Should I push the test off again?

We have submitted a letter from the institute and a transcript for the process. Letter's format was like this for a person who is currently attending and a similar letter with minor modifications for someone who completed the program.
Education can be either secondary or postsecondary in english.
'This letter confirms that "student name" (Registration number) is a full-time student enrolled in the ___________program at ____ College/university at the _____ Campus The program is being conducted fully in English. The program commenced on _____ is expected to complete the diploma/degree requirements and graduate on____________'
