Is there anyone AOR in August 2022 and Test completed in Feb or March and with Scr office? What is your current status?
 
Can we choose between virtual and in person or does it solely depend on the type of application(online or paper)?
 
AOR October 2022; BG January 2023 Test completed March 7th 2023. SCR office; No update ever since.
Did you request for GCMS notes. Might be your application is at Sydney office. Your notes would tell you more about that. Try requesting if you have not. It’s very unfortunate to not see any update.

I think most of applicants are getting virtual. But incase you want can request to get in person as well . You could try sending an email to your local office and they might accommodate it.

There were few in group that had requested and got in person oath ceremony.

I did not until now. I don't think its going to help my application move ahead. The IRCC agent has told me on call that the file is with Sydney office so I guess they are going to take their own sweet time to mark LPP as complete!

Does anybody here know on good authority if there's a passport office in or near Toronto that's issuing the new design passport consistently? Does anyone know if the Scarborough passport office is?

What we learned: the Orleans office in Ottawa issued a few new design ones but hasn't been consistent since. 74 Vic St in Toronto is not yet issuing the new design, and nor is the North York location. We have a separate forum trying to work out how to get our hands on the new passport:

Notes never speed up the process but it does give you insight why your process is slow like where it is stuck.
But like you already know Sydney office is notoriously slow. All you can do is wait. Good luck!
