I am at day 149

In case this helps someone, I fed ChatGPT 15+ Dec and Jan application timelines I found online were LPP is completed, and this is what it told me:
  • LPP completions ranged from day 86 to day 164 from submission.
  • Most landed between day 100–140.
This helped curb my impatience because I'm only at day 119.

Are you not able to just travel with your current passport in October if needed?

I totally get you though; I've seen a couple of Feb applicants who already got an oath date, but different offices just move at different paces; mine's at Vancouver so I'm in the long haul unfortunately.

Yes, I can travel with my passport and PR card, I am just afraid of getting the oath right before my trip. I just dont want to rush with the passport process and I definitely don't want to postpone my trip as I bought the tickets back in January and I will be going for my mom's birthday. I haven't been home in 2 years so yes I really look forward to this trip. I guess you are all right about this, I need to chill a little bit hahahaha.

Well worst case you can ask for the oath to be rescheduled. And that's not even the worst case since that means your citizenship has been approved so there is nothing to worry about. I travel broad plenty with my passport and pr card and never had issues. So I would say relax and just look forward to your trip!

And just like that I suppose my Canadian immigrant journey is at an end. I took the oath and received my certificate of citizenship yesterday. I just need to apply for a passport next week.

Thanks for all the help and support over the past few months everyone and I hope those who are still waiting receive a positive outcome soon.

Congrats! When did you get the email with instructions on how to download your e-certificate?

I just took the oath and need to apply for my passport in the next few days. I have a trip coming up in early July so time is a factor. If it helps, I can let you know how it goes.
