yes of course! Passport office time is during my work hours and I’d prefer not to take a day off if there’s an option to apply online with fewer documents and a simpler process. I’ve already requested the Canada Post Connect link for digital submission.
We have option to apply before our oath but process with start once our oath will be completed.

Have you sent the them the email that you will participate in this program ?

I just got note and it says LLP is not started yet, security is in progress and criminality is passes. Also there is section on the notes that ICES was requested on March 14 and it was received and uploaded on March 25, does anyone know ICES means? CBSA? what will happen after that?

ICES likely refers to the Integrated Customs Enforcement System, a database maintained by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). This system contains records of individuals' entries into Canada, customs declarations, and any enforcement actions. When Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requests information from ICES, they are typically verifying your travel history and compliance with Canadian immigration laws.

I should manage expectations carefully. You never know when your file might end up on someone’s desk for review.

Yes, once security is complete. this is the prohibitions and what CSIS runs while criminality is the background done by RCMP.
Do you see anything about CRA check completed? This is to ensure taxes have been filed as required.
