I’m almost on the exact same time line. Most likely your application has been transferred to Mississauga office as well.

Thanks for your response.
What could be the reason for that?
How is it gonna affect the case?

I don’t know the reason and the agent doesn’t seem to know either. My test invite was from SCR but when I called yesterday, the agent told me that it’s the Mississauga office that’s processing my application now. I’m seeing more LPP completion and Oath invites from Scarborough office now than Mississauga one. Hopefully they’ll work on our cases soon.

Hey!
People, how can I push them to schedule the Ceremony for me?
I called IRCC three times, and they tell me the same every time "You should get the ceremony date VERY soon".
My friends with the same timeline already got their passports but I'm still waiting...

Guess we are in the same boat. Called in yesterday and the rep told me Mississauga is my primary processing office on the file thou I got the test invite from the Scarborough office. LPP are still in progress.

One of my friend with a similar timeline (AOR April 25) from Montreal hasn’t seen any updates yet since LPP on Jan 7th. I would imagine that they are a bit slower in processing oath at this moment.
May be wait for a couple of weeks, as the application is still within the IRCC oath timeline of 4 months from test complete.
Will keep you updated if I hear anything though.

Hi! I see you scored full marks on the test. What would be your advice on preparing for the same? Am quite nervous. The dates and events are making me dizzy. Lol!
