Congratulations! It's time to buy a UV flashlight if you haven't already to reveal hidden art work on fancy pages.

My husand took his on 26th and was updated on april 2nd! My only guess would be that April 3rd was Good Friday and hence the delay! Just keep an eye, hopefully a day or two more ?!

Got an update on the Oath date - Apr 28th! LPP was done on Mar 24th but interestingly only got the oath date update today after I got back to Canada from vacation yesterday.

Also for folk from Toronto who already had their ceremonies - was it in person or virtual?

Reading this forum, It seems the LPP takes an average of month from test completion.

I have been meaning to ask this question but was hesitating, and now your post here is leading me to ask it.
So one can travel without issues while waiting for their application to be completed? I have completed the test and it is marked as completed. LPP has been in progress since Background check was marked as completed.

They have not requested any documents from me. So is it safe for me to travel outside the country for a week?

Anyone can chime in here. Thanks.

I would say yes. You only need to be present for your oath.

Thanks a lot!

Also, anyone who took their test recently (After March 13th) and on Team 3, got their LPP completed?

My LPP changed to in-progress (no activity history, just became in-progress) after my BG was completed--and this was back in February 9th or so, but has been stuck on that since. Not sure what might be holding it up, and not like anyone knows, but looking to get an idea based on other's experience. FWIW, my test was marked as completed about 12 days after taking the test.

I sure hope so. I was away for about a week at the end of March. I imagine it shouldn't be an issue considering it wouldn't flag the need for a police report or an entry in one's address history. That said, my background check had already been completed at the time but I am still waiting for LPP
