Feeling very frustrated. LPP still in progress after test in October. While my partner who applied January 2023 has everything completed and just waiting for the Oath.

Anyone tried getting into the IRCC call center? Any tips to get in? Also been emailing the west citizenship email add and first they said they will send my concern to the officer, next they asked me to just wait as the process takes time.
You are definitely not alone with the frustration.
I think we fell out from last year's quota and put at the end of or randomly into this year's quota.

Hello,
Oct 21, 2022 test cleared and language proficiency completed. We were told by the IRCC that you will be receiving email from us for the Oat Ceremony, still waiting.
After checking the application status online showing that application in progress, everything completed except the ceremony.

So annoyed!

Applied for citizenship Jan 2022 and did my test Sep 2022.

Finally for an Oath invitation on April 13, 2023 scheduled for May 2nd 2023.

Logged in the event today to be finally over with this whole process to find out the oath was cancelled due to strike without any prior notice.

Emailed Niagara IRCC explaining the whole situation as I'll be travelling soon.

Tried to call the 18882422100 number but it disconnects after playing the automated message.

Arghhhhhh not sure what to do.

This is very annoying and frustrating situation. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. They are on strike and no one is working for IRCC at this moment. I heard that they have reached a deal but not sure when they are returning to work.
We are all sick of their BS!!!!
