Just now spoke with the call center and they confirmed that kids application will not have any progress in the tracker until one adult application is approved. In other words, excluding the special cases, kids will get invited along with adults for the oath .
Awesome! Thank you for the update

Worth noting that GCMS were generated a while back even though your just received it. I'd wager your notes were generated prior to receiving your BG completed check.

Is your paper file still at Vancouver? - This will determine your processing office.

Under paper file location, where does it say where your file is? - This should say 'Grant-something', as long as 'something' isn't DF then you are okay largely.

Is Sydney 8090 your secondary office? - This is expected for most Vancouver applications.

Overall, us Vancouver applications will not follow the same pace as the Mis/Niagara ones. It is weird but it is how they operate I think. The biggest variance (in the entire process between applications from the same month) in my observation comes from when LPP and oath get assigned since those are done by primary offices.
This makes sense.. especially because I called IRCC today and seemed like the agent was directly reading out from my GCMS notes, as she had no clue about the GUs I got yesterday and the day before. The only update she could see was my LPP completion.

Hi everyone,

A quick question, my wife's application got updated yesterday with LPP completed and now only ceremony not started
For my application, all still in progress except the test completed.

Don't they process both files together as a family application? or each one of us would have their own ceremony time?

Your input would be much appreciated. Thanks,

I did notice that last night; the report was generated on March 19 so perhaps progress has taken place since then.

To answer your question: yes, the paper file is in Vancouver and Sydney is the secondary office.

I had no idea you were in Vancouver like myself. We will have to update each other and compare "progress". It looks like the office in Vancouver is rather sluggish. However it is what it is.

How long did your GCMS take?
