I am from the Aug. group and the same boat. AOR 10/11/2025. Test done = 1/12/2026. Also GCMS = Grant Review Ready PM03. Did you travel a lot?
From Calgary
I have applied in July 25
Exam on Dec
LPP completed Feb 7
No updates since. Citizenship Ceremony: Not Started.
Anybody in the same boat...? How do we know which office is our application from..? I see lot of people got the OAT ceremony who applied in August,September and October. I dont understand why we are not hearing anything even though we applied in July.

I am waiting for oath since Dec 31 when my LPP was done. Applied Aug 1. It is Vancouver office and location Montreal. But all applicants around my application date have been waiting for last 3.5 to 4 months since LPP.
It is ridiculous. They have deprioritized our files as now I see October applicants in Montreal location processed by Vancouver get oath invites. They just want to improve their numbers by showing they are giving citizenship in 6 to 7 months.
My friend from GTA applied for citizenship on Dec 28, 3 days before my cirizenship was approved. He takes his oath next week and I dont even know when my oath would come.
Got my oath date this morning. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Congrats. Is it July 6 or June 6?
Was your office Vancouver too? I am in Montreal with Vancouver office.
Applied Aug 1 and LPP Dec 31. Still waiting for oath invite. Looks like it is approaching 10-11 months for backlogged files of July end and August for application to oath.
Whoa congrats. But they sent invite 2 months in advance? Almost a year of processing for you then. But yeah, if you have a date its still a hope. I am tired of waiting. 128 days since LPP and I don't know when I would hear my oath date. It appears my journey from LPP to oath would be longer than Application to LPP.
Vancouver office has really ripped off the July and August applicants. They seem to process October applicants in 6 to 7 months though.
Same here. No updates other than the test, not even LPP. Ghost update in Jan 2026. GCMS back in January showed Grant Review Ready PM03. What does this mean?
Have you applied for GCMS notes? I applied two weeks before I got the oath update. However, I still haven’t received it yet.
It means your file went to a senior level official for approval. It might take a little more time, depending on your file.
