It has no impact whatsoever, infact I have even heard from a few that it helped trigger movement in their application but I haven't heard it slow down the progress.
My PR card arrived today. That was quick. It just took 5 weeks to receive the PR card. No update on Citizenship though.

So after a long wait, my background finally cleared on Nov 16th. My application has not been touched since March 21st 2023 so I am super happy things are moving again. I now have citizenship test + background check completed, rest still in-progress. Should be done very soon I hope.

Do you know when was your background started, If you have GCMS from IRCC/CBSA it will be the same date as criminality cleared/fingerprint requet. Usually after long waiting BG is complete, other steps get completed in couple of weeks so hopefully something in this week or next.

How long is it taking right now to get citizenship cert after oath? My oath is on Dec 11, still don't have an email so I don't know if it's in person or on zoom but I am travelling somewhere on Jan 15. Do I have enough time to get the certificate and passport or should I request them to postpone my date after my trip?

You will get an email invitation a week before your ceremony telling you if it's in person or not. You can tell the agent during your oath that you need it quickly since you are traveling.
The e certificate will be available 2-5 days after your ceremony.
If you make an urgent passport request you can get it by the end of the next business day.
You should be good to go on that travel date.
After your oath form is submitted and processed, you can retrieve your certificate here if IRCC hasn't sent you the link

Sometimes they complete LPP together and sometimes they don't.
