March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[lafadeedo]

Hey guys,

New here. First post.
Seems my file is stuck, its now been over 63 days since taking the test and no update on LPP yet.

I checked the stats for March month, the longest wait from test to DM is 67 days.
I'm about to break the record.

Is anyone else in a similar situation....

What are the next steps after completing the test? Is there any restriction on travelling outside of Canada on your existing passport?

I just called IRCC and they said LPP hasn’t even started yet smh. There’s just no way to tell how they work even in specific offices like Vancouver when people whose tests were marked complete a month after you have LPP complete. It’s completely random and based on luck really.

Very short notice but I like it.

I just received the invitation email and it is in-person. So happy to have it in-person. However, I selected an e-certificate when I filled the application. I am not sure if I will be able to have the hard copy of the certificate after the ceremony.
