Mine is fairly similar, except you submitted and got AOR before me. Our test date is the same but I got BG completed before you. My file is also in Vancouver waiting for LPP. No FP request.
Lets hope we get it soon. Other candidates with similar timeline already got their citizenship approved.
When I look at the tracker, I see that we are trending better than Feb applicants when its comes to Oath. For Jan applicants 55% have reached 'Oath' stage. Even if we assume that there would be some Jan/Feb applicants who did not update tracker upon completion, there is still a significant backlog from prior months that is awaiting completion. Lets just put it this way that the March/April applicants who have received citizenship are the lucky ones and the process is definitely not sequential (FIFO).
Similar, March 8 applicant LPP in progress although agent said not started being processed Vancouver
Yea, people outside of Ontario, Quebec and BC are seeing faster timelines. I think majority of their applications are being processed - submission to LPP - at the CIO, Sydney. They only send to local office to schedule oath. We will get it in a few weeks hopefully. Fingers crossed
Tracker updated Aug 12th
Scheduled for citizenship oath September 4th.
Oath Date September 4th.
LPP still in progress.
Now for the annoying part... I am in Italy from the 2th - 15th September with my fiancé getting married... we had a feeling this would happen. We will have to reschedule and take the long wait!
@armoured - do you know the best way to request a reschedule on the Oath?
