Exactly the same. July 2 last update. ATIP came from August 15 nothing started. Vancouver

Hoping to see some movement soon. Based on the pattern, it seems the process will drag on into October.

Just to give some people an update. We received Citizenship Ceremony invitation 31 August and the status and ceremony section have not been updated since 1 August. This tends to tell me that something is still not functioning properly with the portal, or the Vancouver office has not updated it in the system.

By calling IRCC. Tracker is down for more than a month now.

I got my last update on August 10th with LPP approved and been waiting for the ceremony ever since!

 

[packetintransit]

By calling IRCC. Tracker is down for more than a month now.

So, that was the reason the tracker did not reflect any updates? Because i can log in, but no updates since the 8th of July.
