Cool! No updates yet, still stuck at LPP!

@ch5am , @vinjsqjc - I know of folks who submitted their apps way before you did in October, and now their's also have started with LPP.

At first I thought maybe you might get the Oath before others, but guess its just the initial steps that were fast tracked, now all are in the same pace.

As a family of 3, my spouse and I both have completed Canada Citizenship test and got the update in tracker as well. But my child has still not passed Background verification. Is this normal?

Yes my theory is that LPP for everyone will end up take the same amount of time since they have to involve outside agencies and they control the timeline there. The total processing time is probably going to be the same, maybe a tad bit faster.
