My date is Feb 6 and I only got the email yesterday! (Jan 28)

In that case, it should come next week. You got a virtual invite?

I opted for an E-Certificate. Will that mean I will get a virtual invite?

Yes, I had a virtual date!

However, I asked for a reschedule to an in-person at a later date as I'm out of Canada, and they gave me a new date, which will be 1 week after I come back to Canada!!!

I'm not sure about the second question, but most likely, yes, virtual!

UPDATE:

I asked for a new date (Jan 28) and today (Jan 29), they replied saying that I will be rescheduled to Feb 25 (a week after I come back to Canada) and in-person (as requested!)

THE BEST!!!!!!

My LPP was completed Jan 19, marked on tracker Jan 21. Ceremony still shows Not Started
I was excited everything being completed :/
It looks like for a lot of people time between LPP complete and change on tracker for ceremony wasn't that long.

Are you outside Ontario? Oath scheduling is pretty slow outside Ontario.
