I still have LPP as in progress. Is there another email address I should send the email to?

You can send it to the one from which you got test invite. But it's not gonna help as they will respond back with generic email that it's still in processing time n all. But yeah if you still wanna give it a try, you can email them.

Sure Thanks. Side question - Applying for GCMS notes for my husbands citizenship application - We applied together in September 2022; both our background checks were completed at the same time in January 2023. I received my test invite in Feb; however there has been no update on his application since the background completion in January (no test/ LPP). When we called IRCC, they give the standard response of hos application still being within processing timelines; plus that the application in still in Sydney. Any idea what could be the reason on the delay in his application?
Also, while applying for GCMS notes, what should I select - Privacy Act or Access to Information Act?
What type of information are you requesting?

Privacy Act

  • Personal information is usually requested under the Privacy Act.
  • There are no fees charged for requests made under the Privacy Act.
  • The purpose of the Privacy Act is to protect the privacy of individuals with respect to personal information about themselves where it is held by a government institution and to provide individuals with the right to access such information.
Access to Information Act

  • All government records (which include corporate documents and personal information) may be requested under the Access to Information Act.
  • The application fee for request made under that Access to Information Act is $5.00.
  • The purpose of the Access to Information Act is to provide a right of access to records under the control of a government institution to Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or any individual or corporation present in Canada.

Thanks in advance!

You gonna choose AITP, second option. I think your husband's file has been missed by the officer. I would suggest when you email the test invite email address do mention them that your husband never got the test invite and you have already completed it.
also GCMS notes will tell you if your husband's file is assigned to the same officer or not. In my case it was which is why we both got everything done at same time.
Even if they don't tell you the reason, I am sure they will let the officer notify that your husband never got the invite.

If you are the applying for GCMS on behalf of your husband, you can only request under access to information act. If you husband is applying for GCMS, he can request under privacy Act.

The best thing is that the agent didn't give you a "set-generic response" lol... So there's every reason for you to feel happy and optimistic about all the good things to come!! SCR is the new MIS now :)))

So the provincial ID was requested as I am invited for an in person oath. Got a phone-call from the agent to confirm if I am available to attend an in person ceremony on July 1st, Canada Day. That was followed up by the oath email. Wohooo. So happy and relieved. Btw, no updates to tracker after background and test completion. Everything else is in progress still with last update date on March 29th.

Admins kindly update my timeline, oath letter date June 19th, Oath Scheduled July 1st
