I understand your concern. I applied in April, 2023. Language, Prohibition, and Physical presence is still pending, profile was last updated in October 27, 2023. Applied from Edmonton. Many people I know that applied this year got their citizenship already. The wait is so frustrating.

Thanks in advance for experts opinion,
I'm getting job offer from middle easter (Gulf) country, but my application is still stuck in LPP since Mid of July 2023.
Do you think, my job offer can trigger my application for urgent process ? If I submit webform with job offer and explain the situation to them. Please give expert opinions. Thank you.

I don’t think so, the job offer has to be in Canada not outside it, like simply you can’t speed up the process just because you got a job out of Canada knowing that you won’t pay tax and you won’t contribute in the Canadian society.

Did you get the Test window almost one year after your AoR? IRCC sucks I guess!
Yup, can't say it was fun waiting this long. Hopefully it'll be quicker for the final decision!
You could be right, but they mentioned in the website, link is below.

This waiting is really frustrating. Hopefully rest of the process will be fast and smooth for you.
I'm stuck with LPP since Mid of July, God knows what they are checking !!
Funny part is that IRCC website(updated May 1) says processing time is 8 months while some applications submitted 12 months ago has not been processed yet.

Should i sent them a web form now? Call my MP ? I called him after 1 year and his secretary was pissed of cause i was calling before 14 months!!!
You should first call IRCC and they will send a reminder to the officer processing your application. Do note that the IRCC agent can give you an excuse that your application is non routine and then the processing time ETA will not be applicable for you.
yes you can. in fact, I was told by an IRCC call centre rep about this and she had even sent some material about this. Be best if you can write directly to your office.
I called them and I asked the agent to remind the office but he told me cannot do that? He did told me my application is non routine and there is no deadline !!!What I should do next time?
You just need to wait. Take mp office help. Mandamus is another way but it's too costly.
