For those whose LPP were completed in March, has anyone received their oath ceremony dates yet? I'm particularly interested in updates from applicants whose primary office is Vancouver. My LPP was completed on March 13, and I'm curious about the typical wait time for oath invitations

That's the situation of my wife's. All is completed but no Oath. It's been ~5 weeks since LPP.

My LPP was on March 13 as well, but no oath invitation yet. I believe it is about 30 days or more generally, but maybe longer since I've registered for in-person ceremony.
I think there will be an update in this week.

I think something is going on at IRCC. If you review the Google Sheets, there's been basically no LPPs from any office (other than 3 total) since March 27.

They basically stopped doing LPPs after March 25th is for the most part if you look at the dates.

It could be people not updating the sheet, but I'm not sure. I'm about to see if I can look through MyImmiTracker, but I'm not sure if anyone uses that still.

On MyImmiTracker, which forces cases to not be too stale or they close them...

I filtered to the following:
Application sent date: No later than 2024-10-31
Test date: No earlier than 2024-02-01
Background complete date: No earlier than 2024-02-01

That leaves 281 cases out of the total active cases in the citizenship tracker of 2149.

Out of that 281, if I add Language Complete on or before March 27: 132

If I reverse it and say Language Complete on or after March 28: 0

Language Complete on or after March 15: 1
Language Complete on or after March 1: 5
Language Complete on or after Feb 15: 17
Language Complete on or after Feb 1: 27

It seems like LPP has basically stopped.

A resident of Vancouver here. My LPP was completed on 6th March. Nothing since then.

We are starting to see movement in Dec forum for those thar had their LPP completed in March. They are getting ecert download instructions this week which means oath emails are forthcoming.

Love your analytical mind.
And maybe through their new "efficiency " process they have decided to do LPPs in bulk? At this point who the hell knows what IRCC is up to. but it does sound like a bunch of us are waiting for LPP since early March. And I bet most of us are ready for the review, meaning all pertinent info has been gathered.

I didn’t update the tracker but my LPP was completed Apr 3rd. I keep my signature updated to show my timeline.

the weird thing is that I’m not seeing anyone commenting for any general updates regardless of where they’re at in the process.

Updating the sheet and MyImmiTracker helps everyone. Also, it looks like your prohibitions aren't done, so I wouldn't really consider your LPP done.

People were asking about what the new passport looks like?

Pretty neat.
