(Same status for my wife: full application is for family of 4 including two minors)

I also logged into the client application portal and there I see the status as "Decision Made". In the help table, this status shows following:

DECISION
MADE

(A decision has been made at this point.)
Applicant Notified
You will be notified by mail about the decision on your citizenship application.
If you meet the requirements, you will be invited to a citizenship ceremony where you will take the oath of citizenship and receive a certificate of Canadian citizenship.
If you do not meet the requirements, you will be informed in writing.

I guess I should be checking my home mailbox regularly ...
Hi Folks,

Today I got the status update regarding oath ceremony!! It is for April 27, 2022.

I have not received an email though (checked spam). The status update however mentions:

Follow the instructions we sent to you for information on:
  • how to attend the ceremony
  • what documents you have to present
The notice you’ll receive is the official confirmation of the appointment. If you haven’t received the notice by the date of the scheduled appointment, contact us

Is it usual to receive the instructions email a little later after the oath ceremony status update? I would appreciate folks who are at this stage of the application sharing their experience. Thanks in advance!
