Hey guys:

Looking for some guidance on Question 11 regarding the gaps:

If I had two jobs where the 1st job ends on "May 15, 2019", and the second job starts on "June 17, 2019", is there a gap that I need to include as "unemployment"? Because the two jobs have already covered the month of "May 2019" and the month of "June 2019" and there's no way to enter the specific days. Wondering what's the best approach on this. Thanks!
Does it have a "day" section? I mean "MM-DD-YYYY? Or does it just ask for month and year? I don't think it should be a problem cos it's d next month anyways... otherwise, you can write a letter of explanation to explain the very short gap

@ceejay132 thanks for the reply. This only has YYYY-MM and doesn’t allow for writing down specific days.

By the way, I’m also wondering for Question 13 where we are asked for the “immigration and citizenship status” in any country other than Canada, do we need to include like all the travel (like transiting through some countries which automatically gives you “visitor” status)?

Since its may and June, there's no gap.
No. Transit doesn't give you immigration status. You can add where you actually visited and select "Visitor" status from the drop down list.

Hello Everyone,
Another update. Our test statuses have been updated to Completed. So now, everything on my application is completed, except Oath Ceremony which is still 'Not started'.
I saw on the tracker that there is a column for 'Decision Made'. Is this for when the overall application status changes to 'Congratulations!'? I saw that everyone on the tracker had the same date as their LPP completion date. Just curious if this happens before or after the oath ceremony.
On a side note, my wife's BG and LPP are in progress, but Test is completed. Have there been any other cases where the test got completed before anything else?
Thank you.
UPDATE:
Hello Everyone,
Update on our application. My wife's BG and LPP are completed as well. It took about 4 weeks after submitting her fingerprints for the BG to be completed and another 4-5 days for LPP to be completed. So both our applications have all processes as completed and waiting for the Oath invite. I saw on the forum that people who received their invites got them about 10-12 days after everything else was completed. So hoping that it would be the same timeline for us as well.
Thank you.

They are talking about introducing digital oath, where you could click on a check box and submit like a docusign doc. That should cut some of the processing time.

Anyway, I have an update:

LPP: 2023-08-22
Thanks a lot folks for keeping us posted about your application status.
Wishing you all quick application processing and best of luck for the future!

This will my final update here.

Oath letter: 2023-08-28
Oath date: 2023-09-05

Seems like a ghost update and good news especially as you just contacted them and someone worker on your file.

You should see the update tomorrow. Updates don't show on Mondays ideally from what I've read here.

Fingers crossed for you!!!
