I am not worried, my file is with Vancouver office, I almost passed 16 months out of the official 23 months processing time.

How have you passed 16 months? It starts from AOR, which is Feb right? So technically just 12, almost 13?
No it starts from when the file arrived at thier storage if paper based, and for online starts when hitting the submit button.
It has three stages
According to us it ends when we do the oath.
According to them it ends when the decision made.
According to the tracker system it ends when they close the file and says welcome to the Canadian family.
But you didn't tell me any good news after your BG completed?
That's interesting, any official reference for the dm end?
Still waiting for an update after BG, but it's only been a couple of weeks. Based on other's recent reports, I'm hoping to see an update in a few more weeks.
Hopefully you hear something this coming week, because I think you noticed that too, usually after the long waiting for the BG once it gets completed everything finishes fast, like within a month time frame everything gets completed including oath, so let's hope for the best.
I didn't get what do you mean.
(any official reference for the dm end?).
Yes I have noticed that people who have got background cleared after a long wait have seen LPP within a few weeks and oath invite 2 months after that (although some people are stuck waiting for oath). So a 3 month wait at the very least. Unless they take issue with my file: being self-employed, I am very worried about a lengthy delay for residency check.
I meant, is there any official guidance on what exactly constitutes the "23 month" period.
No, they made it totally hidden and deceiving, so nobody can hold them accountable. especially when it comes to BG checks. Now, even when they've said it's 4 to 6 months after the test should get oath, it hasn't been followed.
It normally takes couple of days. It was a weekend, so it should be updated this week.
