Only one needs to be stamped with the "i certify this to be a true likeness of ________________ signed ______________" for your guarantor. The other identical photo doesn't need to be signed.

Thanks ,just to confirm
1 photograph,which was stamped by shopper ,that same photograph will be also signed by the guarantor and the other blank photograph will be also submitted without any signature or stamp

Vancouver office.

My LPP was completed on Jan 30 and no update since then (AOR: Nov 13). By "Vancouver office" do you mean Vancouver is your Primary visa office or your Events office? The wait time to get the oath invitation varies a lot depending on what your Events office is. (Events office = the VO closest to where you live). My Events office is Vancouver and they seem to be very slow (meaning a long queue of applicants waiting to have their oath ceremonies scheduled from there). But other Events offices are much quicker.

Yeah dude; the requirements are spelled out on canada.ca for the passport and on the document checklist explicitly on the application form.

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.

Maybe they realized it’s a waste of time for them ?

It's possible they got some instruction / decided internally to take some 'line' for completion (eg LPP already complete) and not try to push any before that stage to completion before election. The writ was published the 23rd, I think - so would match.

Only speculation. I can think of a dozen different justifications/reasons they could cite or use for this, up to and including avoiding any accusation of 'pushing through votes for the government'. They'd also get some accusations of doing the opposite, of course. The worst would be if they got the accusation of doing it preferentially for some ridings over others.

If they did have something like this, I'd hope they had some policy in place (long) beforehand, such that they can defend the civil service of any accusations after the election is done. If they did have such a policy - eg instructions from ages before an election stating criteria and that decision shall be made by Deputy Minister or clerk of the privy council with no input from political level - then they're more or less shielded.

I'd bet that there is some version of this - but it would be hard to bet on the precise form, harder still to bet on this information coming out in a usable form (to settle that bet).

But very logical and would be high-level civil service professionalism.
