[sm119]

Hello! i got a test invite one week ago but have not gotten the email instruction yet? should i be worried?

No. For me it lagged by a couple of business days if I remember correct

I just called them! The representative asked me to attend the first (if possible) one as both dates are scheduled for my ceremony. And to let the officer know about the scheduling on another day too. She kept me on hold for sometime when I mentioned that I got both invites trying to find out what to reply but still didn't seem very sure when she got back.

Thanks for your response, I will do the same

Hi, My application is at Vancouver office. My test got updated as cleared on 17th May, However have not heard or had any updated after date. LPP is still in progress. Anyone else who has similar time lines for the Vancouver office and still waiting for for LPP update. Have been seeing people from Vancouver office who did their test after my date getting oath invitations.

Is it a reason for me to worry?

It's totally random, I had my test updated on May 5 and am a citizen. My partner's test complete was May 26 and still waiting for LPP. Both Vancouver office. Following your timelines closely now

i had a chance to speak to customer care representative yesterday and no additional updates the what you see online, Atleast she confirmed the office and the fact all is on order and nothing pending from our end.

But seems like paper applications are now taking back seat and online applications are the course for the future applicants.

I posted this in another thread but thought I'd comment here in case any Vancouver Feb applicants have faced similar issues.

My application was marked test complete on May 25th (test day May 15th, applied on Feb 27th) and on June 2nd I received a passport request from the Vancouver office. I responded with copies of the required documents on the same day.

On June 23rd I received a second passport request (the exact same email) and immediately responded with the documents attached again. I ask for a response confirming that they received my email as I was concerned that the first one was never received. On June 26th the Vancouver office responded saying "we have successfully received the required documents".

Today I received the SAME passport request email for a third time!! All three emails have been exactly the same, it's not like they are coming back to me and specifically requesting different/additional information. I replied to the email with all my documents again and have asked them to confirm what is required and if it's mistake that that I've received this email a third time.

Anyone else having similar issues or is this just me? Feeling frustrated that my application probably isn't moving as a result.
