I received GCMS notes today. It says E-Grant Interview PM03 Ready which apparently means I can expect an interview.

It sounds like they sometimes just call you for this and I'm currently living outside Canada and my Canadian number is inactive.. I updated my address with IRCC but I think I forgot about my phone number so I hope they haven't been trying to call me. I had assumed all correspondance came via email first. Anyone have any experience with this?

I couldn't really spot anything else in the notes that give a sense of where my application is at. My timeline:

Type: Online application
Location: Rossland, BC (currently residing outside Canada, though).
Physical Presence Days: 1097
Application: Single
Application sent: Feb 27th 2023
Delivered: Feb 14th
AOR: March 16th
Background check: April 15th
Test Invitation: May 8th (test window May 10th - 30th)
Passed Citizenship test: May 15th
Test complete: May 25th
Passport copy request: June 2nd
GCMS notes recieved: August 22nd

My GCMS notes says Grant Interview in-person ready

Not sure what does that means.

Hi All, i've completed my Citizenship exam on April 4, no updates since then. language, presence and prohibitions still pending. Anyone on the same boat or have any idea how long its taking, applied from Toronto.
Just checked my application and LPP has been completed, it was completed on Aug 21, 2023 but it only showed up today

No still waiting for LPP since test marked completed on 07May - so its been 3.5 months. I will keep waiting, but hopefully sometime soon.
Pretty much same timeline except of the test completion date is May 23. Honestly, I thought Vancouver's applications should have processed faster at this point but apparently I was mistaken. Well, let's hope for any update soon

From looking at the tracking sheets it seems like Vancouver applications get to test completion fairly quickly but then are slow getting to LPP/DM/Oath compared to other regions?
