AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS
- Thread starter novemberrain

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, and it doesn't necessarily mean they have started reviewing it. In my case, it hasn’t actually started yet (the last time I called was two weeks ago). You can also ask them what office is now processing your application. My test was also from Team 3 and my current processing office is Vancouver (different from AOR)
I think Vancouver has significant backlog. My timeline is similar to yours. Test complete on 1/14 and nothing afterwards. LPP still in process.
Sorry, what's LPP? I'm not actively on here and not so familiar with the acronyms.
I am in similar lines it's been over a month after the test, do you see any reason why the delay happening?
No idea, according to IRCC im still within the avg processing time and should expect to see it complete by July
I’m seeing people in FB group with November AORs being processed by Vancouver office. Some are already got their passports. Idk wtf is going on tbh this whole process is weird.
Like when I submitted my application I attached everything with the explanation letter. I attached all my lease paperwork confirming my presence in Canada from the day one, I even attached my tax returns and all the flight tickets with all the pages of both of my passports. Attached my celpip. Still LPP in progress for the last 6 weeks. My case is simple. I landed with PR, lived for 3 years in 2 places only. Traveled only once.

Hi, had a quick question around the oath invitation via email. My ceremony is scheduled for March 3rd but I haven't received any instructions yet. Given there's only one week remaining, should I be panicking?
Edit: received my invitation 30 mins after my post here. Hope you all get your invites soon!

My last update was Jan 19 (LPP). Called ircc today. They didn’t really give any additional info other than that all my assessment is done and my processing office is Vancouver.
Is there anyone who waited more than 34 (calendar) days between LPP and ‘oath scheduled’ update?
There are people whose lpp is Feb and got scheduled (by vancouver) in 2 days after that to a Feb/march ceremony…
They keep scheduling people whose completion dates are before me and the ones after me (end of Jan to feb).
I wouldn’t worry too much because yes it is just the last stage, but I have a work related travel to Europe end of May (which is not so soon yes but I need to know if I will have to apply for visa, and I dont want to go through the VFS pain if it wasn’t necessary in the first place—it’s like already almost impossible to find a visa appointment that you have to check the booking system like crazy).
Similar thing happened to me with PR. Everything approved, had exactly same timeline with a friend (same location too, Calgary that time). Then his pr card came in the mail in 3 weeks whereas mine came in 5 months.. and I had to cancel an important work travel because of this. It’s not even about how simple your case/file is. My everything was approved and i waited 5 additional months somehow stranded in canada for no real reason. When i called ircc at thattime they told me everything was ok and there was no problem in my application and that there was nothing i could do. (And yes i was kind of stuck in canada during that time because my status changed and my visa was automaticallycancelled so if i left i wouldnt be able to enter back, and yes there is some other thing youcan apply in this situation but it didnt make sense for me since my stay would be very short and clearly they wouldnt even process that application in time either, then i could get stuck in some other country which is worse).
