That's very fast, they'll probably just ask some random questions about your life and you'll be good to go.
Mine took full 1 month. LPP was done on July 4th and Oath invitation came on Aug 4th for 7th Sept. Hope you get the invitation sooner
Hi guys.
I just got an update today for interview on September 10th.
This came in 1 week after Background was completed.
Anyone who has gone through this, can you kindly give a summary and sense as to what is usually required and what questions I can expect?
Is oath done on the same day as well?

It is so random. Someone above posted that LPP done on Aug 2 and Ceremony in progress on Aug 3, with Ceremony date of Sep 11. Frustrating how IRCC works.
UPDATE: I got the official oath ceremony invitation email ~1 week ago on JULY 31st (full timeline below and in signature).
Haven’t yet received any email/instructions re: e-certificate account/downloading.
Question for people in Toronto who’ve applied for a passport in-person at the Victoria Street Service Canada passport office:
What time did you go there, and how long was the corresponding wait-time? Thanks!
