Hi everyone, Looking for some advice on my citizenship application. My file moved quickly at first, but it’s now been over 2.5 months with no updates, and PPL is still In Progress. Applicants who tested much later have already reached Oath, so I’m getting a bit concerned.
Timeline

• Aug 05 – Application submitted
• Oct 08 – AOR
• Nov 14 – Background completed
• Dec 12 – Test invite
• Jan 02 – Test completed
• Jan 08 – Test marked as Completed
• Since then – No updates; PPL still In Progress

Applied from Toronto.
Has anyone else experienced a long pause after the test stage? Any guidance would help.
