How long is it taking in Vancouver to go from LPP complete to Oath? If there's any recent Vancouver people who got Oath please share your timelines.

Ordered my GCMS notes to see what's going on with my app. Well at least I will see what office it is at.

Well, I did the same thing yesterday. At least we could know a thing or two about our applications.

I have the feeling that January 2026 applications are much slower than those submitted in February and March 2026.

Certainly seems that way, looking at some of the posts on here

Hey @russ6970

I am in a similar timeline as you are also over 55 so no Exam and Language requirements.

Have also considered ordering GCMS, but afraid weather that could have any negative impact in terms of progress of overall application.

I don't think it has any bearing on the application, apart from getting information tbh. Kinda hoping it has the opposite effect and kick the application into life again, but doubt it. Have done it when I applied for PR as well.
