My test window is over lol. I got the impression we are waiting on a worker at the Vancouver office to process them through. IRCC said not to worry and assured me my test was good on their end, but I will be relieved when I see it marked complete.
I see. My test result got updated to completed in the tracker today. Let's wait for the next step

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

Got email today on instructions to download citizenship certificate. Logged in to the tracker and saw my profile was updated today with oath scheduled for April 9
LPP still in progress
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
