Applied in June. Since passing the test on October 24th, there has been no update. Anyone else still having LPP in progress or not started?

Same here. Applied in June, Test completed since Nov 18th. Still waiting for LPP.
Vancouver office is processing my file and IRCC call centre agents are not helpful. I raised a webform and got a generic response.
 
Do you think IRCC forgot or something happened to June 2025 AOR applications. Recently i have seen people get oath in 2.5 to 3 months after AOR. People with November AOR are getting oath invite.

Pretty smooth process for me although not the fastest.

I landed in Canada for the first time on Dec 26, 2016, so this will be the 10th year in Canada. Didn’t know a single person when I came here, now 9+ years later I have a solid group of friends, a Canadian partner, a Canadian degree, and a good job. Canada is not perfect but I thought it was the country that’s the most perfect for me in 2016, and I still think that in 2026.

I did the most common path of study permit, PGWP, PR and citizenship. Definitely many worries along the way especially when there was a pause in draws in 2021-2022. This forum helped a lot during those times and helped to answer a lot of my questions. I will always be grateful for this community ❤️. Interesting enough I met my Canadian partner shortly after becoming a PR, and now we have been common law for a year, so perhaps everything could’ve been easier
 
Officially I am a Canadian citizen.
