Yes, completed test in July still stuck at LPP
At this time i am totally lost with how they process applications, i had my friend who sent his application 2 months back, and now he is having his test taken. it took 6 months for me to get into that phase (testing step) - and i am stuck at LPP currently since July

Yep, I feel it. I knew someone who completed the whole process within 8 months too. I got my gcms notes and my primary office is Sydney, maybe that's why.

Bad news, apparently due to an "administrative error" my ceremony got cancelled and it'll be postponed to a later unknown date..

Anyone else had this happen to them? Sept 27th Mississasuga Ceremony
I finally got a ceremony date

January 9th.

That was a weird process but I called IRCC and they confirmed it this time as in-person even though I recieved a form for virtual xD

Apparently the first ceremony date was an "error" because my file was not even complete then! yet somehow I recieved an invitation.

I'm still confused about how they messed that up but I can't complain, I still got a ceremony less than a year in. Better than many people I know.

they said they'll email me again a week before the ceremony I guess this one was another "adminstrative error"


I sure hope this is my last update :))

Hello All,

I found out a friend, who is not on this forum but is a citizenship applicant since almost a year, has had Language and Physical Presence completed after interview appointment. But Prohibitions is still pending. Is that a concern? Has anyone experienced this?
I hope we all hear some good news soon too!

Thank you
