Yeah, I'm on the same boat as you. No updates since July for me. I haven't seen any movement at all from the Calgary office, so I have no hopes at this time. We're probably looking into next year, sadly. And I have personal trips planned in November and December, so if they want to schedule me for those months, I'll have to reschedule the oath :(
Yeah I’m Calgary too and not even DM for months!

I submit my application in March 2020 and background verification completed in Jan 2021, but since then, there is no any update. Is there anyone else having the similar situation? Do I need to contact them to ask about the delay?

Another question is that, on citizenship application status page, they said they are currently working on June 2019 applications, so how come 2020 application are getting completed?

Thanks

Does anyone know how many days it takes to get citizenship grant certificate needed for passport application? I am guess it will be arriving by Canada Post.

For your second question, don't follow that status page. I don't think they update it or just kept it like that.

I am March 2020 applicant. Only background check completed on May 11 and nothing after that. I saw some April 2021 months people already did the test!!! I don’t know how long will take more!!
How many March 2020 applicants didn’t get the test invite yet?? Anyone or just only me?? Sooo frustrating and getting my nerves!!
