1. I have extensively travelled prior by application submission. However, I met the minimum 1112 days within 5 year for physical presence calculator. I have travelled around 35 countries during that period. How do I handle question on this travel. Any advice

just answer what they ask for example if they ask you to show the stamps on your passport ... your entry and exit date for a specific country etc...

2. My interview document write to get all my original passports current and expired in my possession. Does that mean only 5 years or all passport since birth.

yes, i would prepare all my passports since the birth just in case....

3. Do i need to show original educational diploma, as I have submitted document for English proof.

better get all your educational certificates ready just in case if they want you to show them ....
Interview completed in Jan 2023, all stages passed except waiting for oath ceremony which haven't started. It is April now, is it normal or I should do something?

I think LPP will change In progress in GCMS if your app is assigned to an office to process. If not, it is still Not start. An office has 60 days to complete. if not assigned, it will be at review registry.

Could you please elaborate on what review registry means? My processing office is Scarborough. One of their replies to my emails was "your file is in queue to be reviewed by an officer"
