Any LPP movement for those whose files are in VAN office?

Is it everyone that applies that is required to submit fingerprints? I have not gotten any fingerprint request.

No,not everyone gets a fingerprint request. Most common reason guessed in this forum is people with common names or names that may be similar to someone with law issues.

Hi All,
For the photo in the citizenship online application, I got the digital photo from Pro passport and added the photographer details in the fields provided for this in the online citizenship application. Is that sufficient or do we need the stamp of the photographer by taking print of the photo with photographer’s stamp at the back and then scanning both sides of that photo for upload in the online citizenship application ?

I sent a digital photo photographer sent to my email.

Anyone with BG complete and Test complete around 14th June has any progress in LPP. I am stuck at LPP "In-Progress" since then ..... application is family of 3 ...and location seems to be Sydney. Raised webform and got generic answer. AOR was 30th April and BG check completed on 13th May.

My test was completed June 17 and no updates since then either. Try not to worry - it has been not even 4 months since AOR. I don't think there's anything to be concerned over yet

Congrats, What about background? And when was your test updated in the tracker?

 

[klubsoda]

Can't remember what my last update was, so
AOR: 6 May
Test letter received: 26 May
Test taken: 10 June, provisional pass

I think this was my last update here? Anyway:

Test completed: 17 June
LPP: 21 August, tracker updated 23 August

Edit:

There was also some discussion either in this thread or the other April one about the past status in Canada question for physical presence. A helpful commenter pointed out that I had incorrectly understood my PGWP to fall under the temporary resident permit holder category rather than the temporary foreign worker category. I followed their advice and submitted an LOE after getting tracker access and all seems to have gone smoothly. I still maintain that the wording of that question is ambiguous and needs a better tooltip lol but it worked out okay. Thank you again to the person who caught my error, wish I could remember who it was!
