Congrats! We are in a similar boat as you were in.

My BG was completed immediately after AOR but wife's BG and both of ours LPPs are pending. Tests are done for both (Jan 22).

Is there anyone here who selected the “paper certificate” option when submitting their application and is still waiting for an oath invitation?
Do you guys ryou recommend submitting a webform to request a switch from a paper certificate to an e-certificate, or is it better to leave things as they are and just wait? I have an important trip in early May and need my passport by then.
I’m a July applicant — LPP was completed on January 21 — Vancouver office.

How do you know that it is In-person Oath Ceremony? I also have oath date in my tracker, but cannot identify is it online or in person, as I haven't received email yet.

Final Update from my end - Attended the Oath today (In-person in Halifax). Finally, I can call myself a Canadian. Good luck everyone on your journey and wish you will receive the good news soon.
