He also told me that i am the 109th person on the waiting list at my local council for the ceremony, I phoned the council when i got home and was told they do 110 people per ceremony so i should be on the next one in July.
Just waiting for the paperwork now!!!

I thought the $240 was the general application fee cost that included the processing of the application as well as the ceremony.

I never paid for my ceremony. As I understand it, the citizenship fee covers the ceremony fee. My shire has ceremonies every 2 months so didn't have to wait too long for my ceremony to become a citizen!

My citizenship application got approved on 10th June and am on the blower now to DIAC to ask if they can tell me how far down the line I am in my council area, to take the pledge!
Update1: Seems there's about 60 people ahead of me in my council area, waiting to take the pledge. The person I spoke to at DIAC seemed to indicate that I should receive communication regarding attending the ceremony real soon.

Does anyone know do I have to wait till the date I have been here four years and then submit the papers? or can I get them in a bit earlier?

Also, I think, the test results are only valid for 12 months, so you need to submit your application for naturalization within 12 months of having passed the test.

Congratulations. My wife and I both passed 100% and were also approved the same day, got the letter a few days later and have our ceremony on 1st July less than 6 weeks after the test.

Re: Approved for citizenship staight after test
I called up DIAC and quoted the reference number included in my citizenship application approval letter. Had a nice chat with the person at the other end and asked him casually if he was able to look up the number of people waiting for the ceremony in my council area. He was able to look it up for me (though it sounded as though they don't do that all so often, cos his first reply was "we'll inform you of the ceremony date") and tell me the number of people waiting to take pledge in my local government area.
Then it was just a matter of calling up the city council and asking how many new citizens usually attend each ceremony.
Cheers!
