    Primary office (Sydney) will do your LPP, ie. final eligibility and decision. Secondary office will be the one scheduling your test and oath ceremony.

    You have to declare all status and travel history during your eligibility period even if you were not PR. That includes travel between 2018-04-02 to January 1, 2019 in your case.

    No, you get either paper or electronic, will not get both. If you insist on having paper certificate, you have to let them know by email/ or when the officer register you during oath.

    I don't think you need to wait for instructions. Create an account in ircc portal and use that account to download your e-certificate using your application details.

    Yes, NGF is the secondary office which did test and oath scheduling. LPP from Sydney took 7 months after test. Thank you! Hopefully they don't cancel the last moment, with ircc it's too early to celebrate anything until that final step.

    The system auto generates gcms notes (in your case Jan 15th), then it goes in queue to be processed manually by an atip agent to redact some portions of the file and then it gets sent out to you. So you wouldn't see any updates between when the file was autogenerated and when it was actually...

    Yes, my FSW was lightning fast around 7 years ago, I think around 2 months it was all done. But even then ircc didn't disappoint when I sent my passport for stamping, it was like it went into a blackhole. Ircc couldn't locate my passport for 3-4 months, I almost thought I lost my passport. And...

    Yes, I am aware of the countless issues that IRCC can come up with that we can't even imagine. I know I am not done with them until I download my certificate without any errors, but at least each step brings you closer to the finish line :)
