i have same situation last update june only language and test completed. whats your office ?
In the same situation, I have been waiting for Physical Presence to be concluded for more than three months now (AOR Feb 26th). It is a sad position to be in, called, sent web forms and non affected the application. Now I decided to apply for GCMS notes and currently waiting to hear back. Because it is a group application (Spouse + child), the last agent told me that my application is waiting for a residency review of someone in the group. Not sure who that someone is :). I have decided to move on and not pay attention to it again, it is mentally draining.

How many days of physical presence you applied for citizenship?

Over 1224, more than the required minimum.
Did you apply for GCMS and called IRCC?
Also, did they called for an Interview or something?
I have seen some people got through quickly after an Interview i.e. officer cleared LPP or any combination therein and Few people got through BG after Fingerprints, especially Scarborough office. Vancouver is bit slow presumably. Don't worry, you will be through soon, it maybe on a back burner i guess, and needs a bit to get through to Oath

I got a similar reply that its within Standard processing time and they can not provide an estimate of when the application will be finalized and noted not to book non-refundable tickets or so. I had a lot of travel history as well and I consulted an Attorney. They said it maybe onto secondary officer review and they await info for cross verification from CBSA where it adds on to the delay

Thanks, I really hope so. I just got my GCMS notes and it says Residency Not Started. Also, the location mentioned E-Grant Awaiting Group Members. Not sure what that means.

Hi ! Finally after waiting for 7.5 months I have received the oath letter yesterday .
if anybody is waiting on LPP from February Applicants , please call Ircc and let them know it’s already been 7months ( processing time is 7 months) . I called ircc on Tuesday evening and asked them to send a message to processing office . Thursday my LPP was completed and I got the invitation letter for oath ceremony the same time .
