Hi all and CABA, FYI - received my GCMS notes. All is proceeding as expected. LPP (all three) not yet initiated. Due dates for LPP are stated as 7 Mar 2024. Nothing to do but wait at the moment. Best
Some movement on my partner's file. Got a Teams interview invite today - scheduled for Nov 24

Hello guys, how long does it take from test and background completion to LPP completion? Based on you experiences or observations?

Sometimes I wonder if people are too happy after their LPP and oath are done and forgot to update here or if that's really so little progress in these 2 months... Or maybe because the routine ones are all done, the remaining ones are likely non-routine ones?

I asked before on this group but nobody responded.
I wonder if they are treating refugee PR holders as lowest priority.
I am a refugee PR :-(
My test was done in July as well, still waiting for LPP. I don't think there is any discrimination based on refugee status, but depends a lot on the office/officer assigned to work on your file. Mine got transferred to CPC Sydney right after test and it's collecting dust without even an officer assigned to work on it. If it's a non-routine application, that adds to the delay as well.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's terrible. Such officers should get paid less or get switched to a less responsible job.
They don't know how it's impacting our lives. Cannot wait for this wait period to get over positively.
