The email ID that’s used to send our test invites is “DN Cit MIS Scheduling”,

MIS in the above email address is an indication that it’s Mississauga office.

another way for you can be to call up the helpline and ask them (I never asked that question to helpline though!).
My original invite came from "CIC-CITOY-CONVO <CIC-CITOY-CONVO@cic.gc.ca>" - I don't see anything with the letters "DN" in my original test invite; am I missing something?

Maybe this was on an older protocol when there were no designations yet. You got the invite, should be no worries.
Ha, well, it's from March 2020 and I still haven't had my test, yet, so I'm guessing it's a work in progress. I filed in Montreal, however - is there a possibility that's not my city of processing?

Oh no I spoke too soon. :( From the website, it seems they’re still leaving the window open to in-person tests and oaths for the time being. I don’t expect they’ve changed that from the previous process, where the office is based on the applicant’s residence.

Congratulations!

Its anyone's guess. Perhaps about 2 to 4 weeks for interview and 1 week for DM and then 4 to 6 weeks for Oath invite. 15 days for certificate and 15 days for passport.

Only Scarborough office has been working these days - sending Oath invites too -but others are very very slow.

What's your processing office?

Goodluck.
11 Weeks since I've passed the test online. 9 weeks since my ECAS status changed to "Decision Made". Should I be worried?

I think you should send a webform. Is your processing office Mississauga? If yes then what I read is that they are resuming Oaths from Middle of April and probably that is where things will start to move on pretty quickly.

Hello everyone, I am a Sep-2019 applicant. I completed the online test last month. I just got a call from a regular 416-XXX-XXXX Toronto phone number and the lady scheduled me for an interview on Thursday and confirmed my email address and told me that she will send the details through email. The email hasn't arrived yet. Can anyone share their experience? Is it going to be a phone interview? How long? What are they going to ask me? Questions from the Discover Canada Study Guide?

Why don't you call IRCC and let us know the response?
I don’t have to but reporting something from a FB page as “source” is like reporting what everyone else posts on FB as source, and repeating it so authoritatively would mislead others. Perhaps you can always start such narratives with a mention of “from a FB post” so that way you don’t confuse others as if it’s from IRCC; and no one would need to ask for the “source”. Anyone who wants “accurate” info should always reach out to IRCC themselves.

Hmmm wouldn’t consider that to be a veritable IRCC source
Hey buddy, did I read your signature correctly? You sent your application in Oct 2020 and you have your oath done already? There are many such as my wife who applied a year prior to you and are still waiting. Just wondering if you applied with a fast track request?
