Finally got around to applying. Been stuck on LPP since 29th June. Passed Citizenship test 27th June.

I just check once every couple of days for a ghost update. Looks like we are being ghosted

My PR card does expire in March 2024 I hope I am not waiting that long for LPP and Oath ceremony. In all honestly I cannot complain my wife’s application was sent just before covid and it took her over 3 years!

UPDATE!

Received the "e-Certificate Portal Login Instructions" email today (for all the applicants i.e. 2 Adults and 1 Kid). So, now awaiting for the official Oath Email.

Nothing got updated on my Tracker or ECAS, might get updated in a couple of days.

My whole timeline is in my signature.

From taking your test to getting LPP was less than 10 days!

I don't understand why it takes them SEVERAL MONTHS for some of us, there really is no explanation for such a delay.

I'm bordering on a 3 Months wait now on LPP , starting to get worried this is gonna drag for over a year like some cases I heard about :s

Well, I got an email with the instructions for downloading my e-certificate this morning. However, the tracker still shows my application is still "in progress" and the citizenship ceremony section is still labeled "not started". Anyone else experience this? How long after receiving the e-certificate instructions did you receive "decision made"/ your oath invite?

I totally agree, plus, the long wait times ups our anxiety and at times one feels lost.

The other thing that adds to this is the "randomness", there is no set sequence, process, steps etc. and I guess we might never know, the long wait can be disheartening.

I hope and wish that everyone's application is processed fast.

It took me 3 and a half months after test complete to get LPP. So just relax a little. You'll likely get it between months 3 and 4.

It means they scheduled you. The tracker is delayed by 2 days.
