Sending good wishes your way! :)
 
Got the oath invite, but it's in person in Calgary, which is one and a half hours away from where I am. I also have an autistic child, and won't have care for her if we travel there for the ceremony.

If I request virtual, will the date change or stay the same?

I see. I am just trying to understand what the factors are that decide if someone's application goes into LPP vs its in the queue. I have seen people from later dates than you getting their LPP done/oaths scheduled etc... I am not accusing any offices to have slower processing time and all that - but rather just really trying to understand this: If several applicants have different AOR dates, so once their BG is clear, test is done then should not the LPP starting date be almost chronological for them based on their AOR, meaning, the person with the earliest AOR has their LPP in progress first, then the second, then the third, etc...?

I recently needed to change my ceremony. It has been two weeks since I requested it, and still no new date, so it will probably take longer, but it depends on the office (I suppose). BTW, I was invited to Ottawa and I am also two hours away driving from there.

Damn. I had to do it. I can't leave my daughter here for a whole day with someone, and she will NOT sit still for an hour and a half. Hope they get it sorted quick. I'm in Alberta (Calgary office) so hopefully they're less busy!

I honestly think they just put it in a pile, and whatever is on top gets handled first. Then, if they have to pause your processing to wait for something, you go back to the bottom of that pile.

Exactly but who knows how they proceed!
