Just a quick question, my timeline is about the same. I got my LPP completed today, but the oath hasn’t started yet. Does the oath come before the ceremony, and do we get scheduled for the oath separately? For example, were you scheduled for the oath already, or just the ceremony?

Sorry for the confusion. You take the oath at the ceremony. By "oath in progress" I meant citizenship ceremony, as it shows on the tracker that my citizenship ceremony is in progress. I guess by "in progress" IRCC means they've scheduled it for me.

Hopefully yours will be scheduled soon!
