It seems like things move in waves. Some folks get through very fast, and then others lag for some reason. In the January and February 2023 forums, some folks are just getting through their oaths now. There are also people from December 2022 with outstanding applications
How frustrating this thing is. I wonder if there is a criteria for picking files and asking for additional information. There must be something that holds some files for longer period of time than others.

AOR - 11 July
Test Completed - 10 August
Background completed - 20 July
LPP - waiting
Test invite - Scarborough office
Silence after that :(
I think many applicants are still waiting.

In my case only the test has been completed, everything else is in progress.

AOR was in July! now I am mentally preparing for 17 months of processing time posted on IRCC's website. I don't even have any complicated travel, work or visa history.

Thanks.
So your background is still in progress too?
And did they ask you for fingerprints or not yet?

Yes, the background is in progress, Fingerprints were received by IRCC in September, and updated on the tracker but the background still is in progress. that got me worried.

How about you?

Sorry do not want to be intrusive, but if you would like to provide more details, do you have any extensive travel history or complicated immigration history?

I recently received my GCMS notes, and everything looks in good shape, apart from security, which was blanked out. I am not sure if thats the reason that my background is in progress.

Not at all. Literally the only thing i can think of is probably 2 traffic tickets (even though I highly doubt they are the reason) and also my nationality, that’s it.
