Anyone with AOR later than August 15 got Oauth email?

I called IRCC today and they told me everything is clear but LPP is still showing in progress on tracker. They told me I should wait for Oath letter. My AOR is August 19.

Any applicants from Nova Scotia?

Yes, I am from Nova scotia

I just called IRCC and the agent said my security and criminality are passed but language and residence are not started. But the portal says LPP is in process. It’s confusing.

Lpp completed on Oct 8 and in tracker is updated on Oct 9 and ceremony is showing as not started. It's been 18 days. Any timeliness for receiving oath letter?

Update: Oath ceremony received for Nov 18 2026. Will update timeline

have you received the email or only on tracker?

 

[Perspective]

have you received the email or only on tracker?

I also have the Oath Ceremony scheduled for 19th November in my tracker, but haven't received the official email yet. Can someone please confirm when do you actually receive the email invite?

I received an update as well, the ceremony scheduled on 27th November at the tracker but haven’t received the email yet.

 

[appy2021]

Has anyone experienced a delay in the lpp phase?
I completed my test on September 6.
Test completed on tracker on September 10 .
Since then, no update has arrived.

It's been 16 days since LPP was completed; the ceremony status still hasn't started.....One last test of my patience in this journey.
