    Congrats and thank you for the data point! Submitted mine just 4 days after you so your update gave me hope that I will get LPP done next week

    Yup. AOR Feb 14, BG done Mar 4, test done Mar 18. I'm at day 147 since submission. I did feel better after seeing this timeline of a December applicant getting LPP done just this week on Reddit: • Dec 23, 2024 - Application filed. • Jan 7, 2025 - AOR • Feb 6, 2025 - Citizenship test status has...

    Wow congrats and thanks for sharing! Good to know that the tracker can be inaccurate. This is the second case I've come across in the last two weeks where the applicant got the ceremony invitation without LPP turning green on the tracker. Is Feb 5th your submission date or AOR date?

    There are also applicants from Oct and Nov who are just getting their LPP done recently! As long as we are within the 10-month processing window, there's no need to worry and we just gotta be patient. I've been keeping track of LPP-completed applications and some waited 170+ days for LPP to...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I've been keeping track of 55 LPP-completion timelines from Nov, Dec and Jan, and the most common LPP completion time range (from AOR) is 121-127 days, with 25% waited more than 127 days. The longest I've seen so far waited for 178 days. If you fall anywhere near the most common range, maybe...

    Over on R eddit, a January applicant (by AOR) just shared that they received the ceremony invite email, while LPP are all still “In Progress” in the tracker and never got updated. Seems that just because you don't see any movements on the tracker doesn't mean your file isn't being worked on...

    “you're biasing the data by including only faster files (excluding all that haven't made it this far).” Many of the application timelines I fed ChatGPT are not faster files, though. If you look at the graph below, you will see that my application is actually still moving at a normal pace, and...

    Thanks for another data point! Mind sharing your full timeline?

    For what it's worth, I never find that spreadsheet to be particularly useful simply because I can't tell if fields are left blank because the applicant hasn't received any updates, or they just forgot to update or got too lazy to update (guilty as charged btw—I forgot to update my application on...

    I'm not sure. I'm in this January 2025 thread because I submitted on Jan 30. If I were to only count from AOR, I would be a February applicant. But here are the stats counting from AOR, calculated by ChatGPT based on 38 timelines: LPP Completion Range: Fastest: 48 days Slowest: 161 days Most...

    For those of us who are still waiting for LPP, maybe this will help put things into perspective. I fed ChatGPT 38 application timelines (last time I only had 15) from Dec and Jan that had LPP completed so far, and asked it to give me some stats: For me, I submitted on Jan 30, and this is how...

    The thing is, an applicant on this thread, who had been waiting for LPP to complete for a while, was told by an agent that their file was complete and was just waiting for someone to update the tracker in the backend. The applicant got LPP done on the tracker shortly after. So clearly, IRCC call...

    What did you ask exactly? The agent I talked to wouldn't even tell me if my application is routine. I wonder if some agents just have the kindness to give us more info than they are supposed to.

    Congrats! When did you submit?

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    In case this helps someone, I fed ChatGPT 15+ Dec and Jan application timelines I found online were LPP is completed, and this is what it told me: LPP completions ranged from day 86 to day 164 from submission. Most landed between day 100–140. This helped curb my impatience because I'm only at...

    Are you not able to just travel with your current passport in October if needed? I totally get you though; I've seen a couple of Feb applicants who already got an oath date, but different offices just move at different paces; mine's at Vancouver so I'm in the long haul unfortunately.

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Just called IRCC to see if I can get some info on my application after 2.5 months of no updates since citizenship was marked completed on March 18. Here's what I learned: My primary and secondary offices. My AOR was from Sydney, but my primary office is Vancouver () and secondary office is...

    Good to know the agents can give you some insights beyond the tracker! Did you have to wait long and what did you ask exactly?

    Of course not every case is the same, which is why I used wording like “at least for most applicants.” Sorry to hear about your medical conditions, but are you not able to travel at all with your current passport?
