OK it took them around two weeks to finalize applications June 2-8 2019. Now they are finalizing applications June 9 -15, 2019. They are still some irregularities, and no clear trends that things are actually improving

Now it's June 16 and 22, 2019. It seems there is a trend of finalizing a week of applications every two weeks.

Attending my oath ceremony today.
I see a lot of people are having issues with their 'forgotten' applications.
I'd suggest you to contact your local MP.

Believe it or not, I contacted my MP and in that same week I got my decision made notification.
MP only sent automated response of "b/c of covid, I won't be able to answer, but I'll attend to your request"

I'll report back how my ceremony goes today.

Welcome to the club. Some people have been waiting for their oath since April in the Montreal office. One applicant has been waiting since Jan. Let's hope things are going to change soon. There has been positive signs recently, but don't make a trend to be confident about a positive change.

Do you mean they got DM since January? I had my tests last December.

Do you mean they got DM since January? I had my tests last December.

That's correct. Most people get oath invites now had their DM back in April. So, it's 5-6 months wait on average after DM for the Montreal office, unless something miraculous happens.
