That's odd. Usually LPP is updated first but yes, looks like the system is a bit slow in reflecting the updates. You should see LPP marked as complete in the coming days.

What is your timeline?

1. You will get instructions.
2. If it's an in-person oath, you'll get a hard copy at the ceremony (even if you asked for electronic).
3. After the ceremony you'll need to wait 2-3 days before applying. From applying in person, from one day (only super-urgent with proof and extra $$$) to 30 days. If using mail, extra time for mailing at both ends.

Thank you so much. This really helps.

It says we need a guarantor and 2 references - I have guarantor as my cousin who is citizen here; but I do not have references whom I know for 2 years. I am in college where I know people for 1.8 years. any feedback on how do we get references, Thanks a lot

Sorry, I am confused. You got instructions to download citizenship cert when your oath is scheduled for April 9th. And all this is on the tracker while LPP is in progress? :O

& how about the passport, did you apply already?

if you are able to download citizenship cert - why do you care about LPP? make sure to take the oath though,

P.S. a citizen without oath is like a chicken without head

One guarantor is fine as I remember. Try to clarify this information with Service Canada, they should have a help desk.
