Hi all. Waiting for LPP to be completed. I sent in my IELTS certificate as proof of language with my paper application. I am unsure if it would be better if i had sent my degree instead. Any insights if i can still send my degree or leave it to the IELTS.
Hey, IELTS is good enough, and they'll let you know if they need more proof. Don't worry, they normally ask these things as a final confirmation before LPP. I won't be surprised if you see DM this week or next. Just chill and wait for the good news now :)

Couple more questions!

- My application has been In Process from Feb 26. I've give the Test, it has been updated. I've given my fingerprints, yet to be updated.
My background check is still not complete. Is this normal?

- I sent my fingerprints on May 23, it's not updated on Tracker. Approx when should it be updated? Of not, who should be getting in touch with?
Hi, unfortunately, IRCC employees work at their own whims and fancies .. they update files when they feel like. With that said, avg time could be assumed to be at least 2-3 weeks after FP are submitted. I'll all happen in one go, don't worry, patience is the key and we all are sailing the same boat :)

Your optimism is appreciated, I keep swinging between excited and hopeful to anxious and overthinking. Hoping I can join you soon in the DM club! I hope we can all get some type of update soon to ease our minds.

Could someone help me update the spreadsheet lol?
I see quite a lot of folks get advanced to llp competed or oath invitation, does it mean I'm in the 'slow' group now? (my processing office in Vancouver)
