    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    My physical presence was 1110 days on the day I applied, so technically I met the requirement. But anyway, according to the GCMS notes, unfortunately they haven’t even started reviewing my LPP yet.

    That’s true. I guess it’s my special kind of luck, almost every single application I’ve had with IRCC over the past 7 years has come with its own little surprise!

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    I Studied in Canada, so I submitted my official transcripts and diploma. I travelled a few times during my eligibility period, but it was overall around 40 days, and I left about 2 weeks buffer before I submit my citizenship application. May be they want to confirm my departure and arrival dates.

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Oh no, I can't believe a simple citizenship application is going to take more than a year! I applied on August 1st. I still don't understand why the interview is needed when my background is marked as complete and my LPP has not even started yet. Based on what they decided that I need an interview?

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    I just received the notes! Page 3 of the notes starts with the title "Paper File" followed by the Office and Location: Grant Interview Ready In-Person. Does this mean I'll be asked for an interview? That's probably why my application processing has been taking so long :( What does Paper File...

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Since I haven’t received any updates since December 17, when my test was marked complete, I decided to order GCMS notes yesterday. Hopefully this will give me insight into what's been happening with my application.

    If they give the Certificate on the same day, you can apply for urgent passport which will take 1-2 days, and hopefully you can make it.

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Hi, I have almost the same timeline as you (just a few days apart and with a completed background check). You can call IRCC to check if your LPP has started yet. I’ve called a few times, and the last agent told me that the LPP status shows "In progress" from the day your tracker is activated...

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    My BG was completed on Oct 3 (a few days after my AOR). I did travel 3-4 times, but I left around 2 weeks buffer before applying. so I don’t think that’s the issue. According to the IRCC agent they haven't even started reviewing my LPP in Vancouver office yet.

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    You were lucky, mine is the opposite (Primary Sydney and secondary Vancouver), and form what I'm reading in other forums, it seems like Vancouver office is super slow. I think I'm the only one in this forum who received AOR in September and still waiting for LPP :confused:

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    I completely understand your frustration, Over the past 7 years I've had so many applications (study permit, work permit, PR, and now citizenship) with IRCC and I'm somehow used to this unknown wait time. I've seen a lot of August applications submitted way after me already have their oath date...

    Well, she put me on hold to check my file and when she came back she said "I checked your file and on my end I see LPP "Not Started", there is still chance that it's actually "in progress" and the processing office simply hasn't updated your file, but this is what I see on my end". The last...
