    I head over to the August channel and check with everyone who applied with you in August. Everyone in here applied in May or their April application is taking longer and they're checking on how things are going a month later. Another great place to get a better understanding of timelines is...

    In my quick look for info - your citizenship application was escalated from a standard (Level-1) processing officer to a senior (Level-2) officer because something in your identity or residency verification didn’t match cleanly in ICES (Identity Confirmation & Enhanced Screening system). Might...

    If you read around - the notes we get wont supply an individual officer ... but they will identify a processing office. So RC-8090 is a unit ... a Responsibility Centre ... within your assigned location (Vancouver like myself). I personally think it's currently a backlog and or staff shortage...

    No criminal record or interaction in my home country or in Canada. The article doesn’t explicitly say it needs higher scrutiny… but I think it’s it is probably sitting with an offer who does that checking when required. ‍ Still says grant review ready… so I’m just gonna sit back and try and...

    Due dates mean nothing in the notes - they're internal and I dont think are even being met at the second with the backlog. But I think we are in the exact same boat. Except yours is filled a little ahead of me ... just waiting on the final ok by an officer.

    I got my GCMS notes back on the 30day marker. Says my LPP hasn't started but it also says: Grant Review Ready (and a file number) So, I dug a little deeper, and found this info: I feel like Vancouver has just a lot of files on hand (just look in the tracker and the March & April application...

    From looking at the tracker and this forum ... Vancouver is slower across the board. If thats volume, or understaffing, or something else - I have no idea. But its pretty obvious.

    You shouldn’t worry about that unless your expected oath dates are approaching around then. You can travel ... I recently returned from two weeks in Japan. Travel will become significantly more difficult once you have to destroy your PR card at your oath ceremony until then receiving your...

    I understand, but when posts sound like complaints rather than updates, it really discourages others who haven’t even reached your stage yet. Sharing frustration is fair, but keeping some perspective helps keep the space supportive for everyone. Hopefully your date comes through soon, much like...

    Be thankful for your LPP progress. While everyone in BC hasn’t reached that stage, and others haven’t completed their background checks (just look above your message), there are many factors influencing each application. These include the handling location and unique details in each...

    Lots on movement in Ontario with LPP, and some in Alberta. I cant wait to see the same trickle start happening for everyone in BC ... and then that dam breaking for us all.

    Do you have a full timeline? As you're not in the tracker?
