Finally got update on my application.

File was moved to Vancouver- I had requested GCMS notes last month. I got it yesterday and the update today - connected maybe?

LPP completed June 24th and updated June 26th
Citizenship Ceremony- not started

I will be travelling for the month of July. Given the trends, that's probably when my oath will be scheduled. What is the process of rescheduling oath? Any help would be appreciated.

Congratulations,

When you get the oath email, if you need to reschedule, you need to reply to the email and requesting the reschedule and advising the reason and when you are back and they will do that accodingly.

In the oath email, you will have all the information & instruction on the rescheduling part.

Congratulations. Your update gives us folks waiting for LPP since March some hope. In my case I have not been asked any additional details no fingerprint, no interview, no passport scan etc .

I was asked for scans and fingerprints. I assumed that made my application non-routine. My last update was for BG complete on April 2nd.

I also asked for GCMS notes on May 27th and I got the response on June 25th. In my notes, LPP was incomplete but I wonder if them having to look at my file lead them to finally working it on.

Je sais pas!

No updates :( ..I am tired of this waiting. I did raise a Web form asking if i am supposed to get a request for Fingerprint request and still waiting for a response.
Quick update : I have called IRCC on Monday again to check if anything changed, I have mentioned to the agent that as per GCMS Fingerprints were required since Feb 20th and i have never received any request. The agent was kind enough to post a message to the officer to check if FP were indeed required, so i have now received a FP ( email) request yesterday. Though the tracker doesn't show anything.
Hope that helps someone has been waiting since Jan\Feb with no progress.

Question to the group :
1) Did the FP request get updated on the tracker ? I have received email yesterday morning and its not updated yet on tracker.
2) how long did it take for you to get your BG complete, from FP submission ?

@ishankp , @OutOfScar , @Ali.arshady FYI

Thanks for providing the update, I also received the email last morning so I believe it must be that IRCC is batching applications, It is not yet updated in the tracker for me but I guess the update can be delayed by 2 days so hopefully tomorrow. Vancouver used to take 2-3 weeks based on what I have been reading on various forums but I believe you must have received the email from Sydney. There is no data on that office from what I could see in various forums I have been following. Lets hope for the best and hope its smooth from here on out

Question: Do you think it's okay to request my second ATIP? I received the first one two months ago.

My application was transferred to Vancouver, and I don't see updates. Would that be bad for the processing of my application?
