Finally! Congratulations!

When the LPP was updated today, did you also get the oath date at the same time?

Same for me. I was debating on not asking for online as it might be detrimental for the outcome of my interview? Not sure if this is an actual concern.
it wasn't a good idea after all... After 8 days of wait they replied rejecting my request for online interview, so now I have less time to prepare my trip back to Canada.

It's been 30 days since I requested my CBSA notes, will be emailing them tomorrow if I don't receive anything. How long has it taken for others' CBSA notes?

I noticed on the website they have added the below. Well maybe they shouldn't take so long and they won't receive so many requests. I will keep requesting notes every month until I have progress.
I ordered mine on Aug 15 and nothing so far... 37 days now.

just returned from the in-person interview. 1 hour waiting and then 5 minutes interview. No documents/translations checked - just confirmed my identify (quick look at PR card, passport photo page, driver license) then asked when my last travel abroad was and confirmed my address. Then he explained that I might get an email with more requests within a week, otherwise LPP will be completed and then oath invitation after 1 - 2 months. He said ceremony will most likely be online.

I did my interview which is similar to yours. I did the interview in March 31 2023 no updates. I applied in April 2022
