Update

From what I have seen, it takes 1-2 weeks after getting LPP for the update on the tracker about when the ceremony is scheduled. Another 3-4 days after that to get the email for the invite.
In my case I got the LPP update on 5th March, and the update on the oath ceremony on 17th March. My ceremony is on April 1st.
I saw one other person here got their LPP update on 24th Feb, and update for the oath ceremony on 2nd March, and they got the email on 6th March.

Thanks for your reply! I wish you all the best and congratulations on becoming a Canadian!

Not yet.

LPP only completed 2 days ago. I'm assuming it'll take anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks to get a ceremony date scheduled, after LPP is marked completed.
