I'd be amazed if you get a decision by end of October or mid-November. Maybe you should consider postponing/changing your travel plans. BC is important, that's why we are on here.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

There is no way your application will be approved within one month;
even if it is you are not a citizen until you attend an oath-taking ceremony and that may occur up to 3 months after receiving approval.
Until then your BRP is valid.

No need to change plans. As pointed out, one does not naturalise as a British Citizen until the ceremony is attended. Even if the approval letter came, makes no difference. BRP still valid until ceremony attended.
