Also I did receive my citizenship certificate in two days - oath on 19th, cert delivered by Purolator on 21. I then applied for my passport on the 22nd and I’ll have it in the 28th. So far it’s been smooth sailing.

Put the agents name in the subject line and attach the signed form. That’s all you need to do.

Yeah, I passed on the 19th as well. My status updated today (23rd Nov) to Citizenship Test completed. My background is also complete. Now I'm just waiting for the oath. I'm an online applicant, no idea which office is processing my application. How does one find this out?
