    thanks! Both offices near Ottawa had "15 minutes wait" in the website but it ended up being faster... they even had computers and printers there that saved me since I forgot to bring the proof of flight for the urgent request.

    last update! :D I did my ceremony online this Thursday, received the certificate right away (since I'm traveling this weekend already, I asked them during the registration - right after cutting my PR card! - if they could send the certificate earlier. They were super kind and understanding...

    I find that it's very rare to see some significant change in the notes (or by calling them) before they are updated in the tracker... After LPP starts, it usually finishes really quickly, so it's only for a short time that you can catch an interesting information earlier than from the website...

    were you able to attend the oath?

    GCMS - RC-8090

    I asked for notes a few times and called 1 or 2 times, but I don't think that was the cause of the progress... I don't know why, but I think they put some people in a queue that only really makes progress when it's near the deadline. Maybe it's for keeping the average process time longer.

    time flies and 18 months usually feels like a short time.... but it sure feels like a LOOOOOONNNNG wait when dealing with IRCC (I feel like I aged a few years because of this lol). Thankfully, it will be over soon!

    My oath is finally approaching! It will be over 18 months and 9 days from AOR. I hope it's coming for all of you soon! Specially the ones that have been waiting for longer...

    congrats!! check my signature to have an idea of the timeline. Btw, today it has been 18 months since AOR... so maybe that influenced it a bit.

    just returned from the in-person interview. 1 hour waiting and then 5 minutes interview. No documents/translations checked - just confirmed my identify (quick look at PR card, passport photo page, driver license) then asked when my last travel abroad was and confirmed my address. Then he...

    I ordered mine on Aug 15 and nothing so far... 37 days now.

    it wasn't a good idea after all... After 8 days of wait they replied rejecting my request for online interview, so now I have less time to prepare my trip back to Canada.

    I hope not... I think the worst thing that can happen is the interview getting canceled and needing to wait longer to get another one. The only issue so far is that it's been more than 48 hours and they haven't responded yet. I hope they reply soon otherwise it's hard to plan my trip.

    you mean the in-person interview? I emailed them asking for online interview, but I'm still waiting for a reply. Hopefully they will answer soon, since I need to prepare my trip if they reject it.

    GCMS - RC-8090

    Yeah, there's probably some steps to get it and submit, even if it's easy... specially if you multiply it by all the people that are requesting it. (Imagine 100, 1000, or who knows how many people requesting you to do a simple calculation in your calculator everyday). But it's not just the...

    It was the same here (application was not touched and not assigned to anyone from December 9, 2022 until Sept 12, 2023)... I'm not sure if there's anything you can do. Many people keep bothering them with notes, phone calls, MP letters, etc, but it's rare that any of that helps (and it is not...

    I was not in Canada during the test. I believe they considered me outside Canada after that, since my status in the notes said "Out of Canada".
