Congrats! You will receive an email in due time, dont worry. Which is your processing centre?
Thank you for the reply,
I think that my processing centre is in Scarborough,
I did my test in Scarborough town centre
The ethnicity factor is decided by the number of applications received per location and their ethnicity mix.If a lot of Indians and Chinese are applying from a city and there is someone from Poland, the Poland applicant will get priority in Oath (not in the processing). See this article and there are many like this. You can see that Philippines, Indians, Chinese and Iran have highest applicant rate. If you PM some people on this forum and they are willing to share their ethnicity, you will know what I am saying. I have PMed more than 16 people on this forum and the assertion is right.

BTW, it is confirmed that all oath scheduling is done by Sydney office. There is a lot of paperwork and system entries to be made after the DM is made and that is centrally handled from Sydney. The oath logistics is handled by the local office. Local logistics means local arrangements, not decision making.

That is interesting, do you have any idea where I could find those stats including all of the percentages of ethnicities/nationalities granted citizenship? I googled around, but I may not be using the correct key words!
I suggest that you take a look on the excell spreadsheet and sort it by the local office. That will give you an idea how long the applicants from your city and your timeframe are waiting for the oath after DM.
The stats can be asked from CIC under a Freedom of Information request.
We get stats for a forecasting work and ask for specific details and have pay for the specifics, otherwise the details are free. Go to Citizenship Canada and file an Information request. Sometimes they will be posted in google news like on the link I posted, then they are public.
This is from the Calgary Centre
This is confirm that I just received my oath of citizenship letter today (few minutes ago), but dated January 24th 2019 and the ceremony is booked for March 15th 2019.
Admin, please update my timelines. Thank you in advance for this.
Congrats in advance to everyone, who are still expecting their Oath Ceremony letter. You are almost there.

The Oath Ceremony letter also says, your Citizenship application was approved Nov 19th 2018
Congrats, i am Calgary applicant as well and decision was made on Nov 28 so hoping this coming week will bring some good news regarding oath ceremony IA.
The files are moving. It is simply a slow processing offer. Good luck and give us some great news next week.
