My parents online status updated on Dec 16, 22 that their Oath Ceremony is scheduled on January 25, 2023.

I have still not received the email with instructions with only 2 weeks left.

How long in advance IRCC sends the email out?

Picked up my passport today. 1 year and 2 months exactly since application.

Oddly, my tracker still says "In Progress" and Oath "Not started". I don't think this will change. Might send them a message, but seems like it's not a huge deal.

Wonder if it changed for anyone else, to "Completed" who got their citizenship recently?

In any case good luck to you all!
Congrats! I had my oath on Jan 9th and it changed to complete on Jan 10th. By the way, was your oath virtual? If it was how long did it take you to receive the certificate?

Followed up with my MP's office, they checked and gave the same update as above , no outstanding items. Is there anyone here who is in the same boat? and still waiting for a test invite?
Any suggestions on what can I do ? Already applied for ATIP notes multiple times never got them, filed a complaint for that too..no reply or communication so far.

Nothing completed for me
Applied 4 times for ATIP got two of them back in October ( nothing started) called my MP’s office refused to intervene saying that I am still within normal processing time. I stopped checking the status of my file , I do it once a month just to have a peace of mind and keep my sanity.
