Does it say 'not started' or 'in progress'?
it seems it automatically goes 'in progress' after you pass the test, isn't it?
Mine it shows not started even after giving the test.
I received the test invitation on 27th of September to take the test between ( Sept 29th to Oct. 19th )
I passed the test on Oct. 15th and still shows not started in my LPP! :(

Yes it should at least say, 'in progress'. But I would not worry too much about it. Did you email the test yourself and download the test after completion? Then you have all the proof. Whole idea of this online application system is to automate the workflow, make efficient and remove midleman hindrance/communication like MPs and so on. After the test, officer skims the test/video and mark the pass as far as I know. It is possible, everything is fine and it is just matter of marking it complete by the officer.

Yes, I emailed myself a copy of my completion test results as a proof just in case. I hope everything will be fine. Thanks for your help and explanation

When did you take the test? And how long does it take for you to have your test completed in the LPP?
My tracker updated from "not started" to "completed" for the test. I think it was updated a week after taking the test (Niagara office). My LPP was completed a week after that, but it always showed as "in progress" from the day my tracker became available.

I passed language and physical presence. The only thing left is prohibitions. Apparently they updated it on the 17th, but only updated the tracker today. The funny thing is, I don't even have a parking ticket, so idk why it's the only thing left lol, and only entered canada once and never left and never had an issue with a cbsa officer or anything. idk what's wrong lol.

my visa office is Scarborough. It’s been 5 weeks since “test completed” showed on the status. LPP is still in progress. Is this a cause of concern?

For Scarborough, replace 5 weeks by 5 months. If you don't hear anything by 6 months, you could be concerned.

This is based on me following the Scarborough thread ( application processing starts 4 months after test cleared ).
