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.

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.
