Funny how background checks effectively stopped for us December applicants on February 29th and everyone else gets theirs willy nilly. Doesn't matter though, something something seed in the ground. :)

At least some offices (looking at you Vancouver) are just now sending out oath emails and completing LP while we wait for Background checks to complete, which could take another 6 months.

Oh yeah, and no point checking for updates Monday/Tuesday due to their 2-day lag in profile updates. No point calling either since any lack of update today will still show up on Wednesday on the tracker.

For the people complaining… i ve been resident permanent since 1998 im 31. I dont except to wait has long as someone who just did his 5 years probation. I lived 25 years here. Sent jan 29 only llp left for me. Its quick has i hope it would be because they have 25 years of history about me lol. I just never applied for it like ALOT of canadian. So i guess they wont make us wait like someone who just got here. Hope this would help y’all be more calm and wait.

What about Feb apps that are having a radio silence.. no test invite, no backgrounds etc.. only AORs and nothing after.. it's been already a month for some..
