Very similar timeline, but still waiting for LPP.

When you had your test marked complete in tracker, were there any ghost updates on other previous timeline items at the same time? Like a sticker saying new updates next to previous items but with no actual change.

No ghost updates when test was marked complete and no new updates sticker. It happened only today.

Had my virtual ceremony today. After the ceremony, emailed the signed oath form to IRCC. I am now officially a Canadian citizen. Just two more steps before I can say to myself that my immigration journey is over: 1) Receive the paper citizenship certificate in the mail. 2) Apply for and get the passport.

The very first Canadian in our August cohort!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Call them early in the morning at 8am on 1 (888) 242-2100.

You will then need to listen to some info and then input UCI.

After that press 3, then 4 then 0. It will direct to agent. At this moment, you will also have an option to request call back if you don’t want to wait.

If that doesn’t go through try again from beginning.

Hey! Anyone in Vancouver waiting for the status of the citizenship ceremony change from Not Started to In Progress?
How long will it take? Checking the timeline sheet makes me feel worse since there are so few updates(or applicants?) from Vancouver.

My friend submitted his application in July, still waiting for LPP to complete. And yes, I heard that they might be slow, compared to other local offices...
