Some folks have mentioned FP showed on their tracker. I do not have it on my tracker. Instead for me it was an email letter. May be worth calling the Ircc if you do not get anything by end of this month.
Can you share the email address it came from? Maybe I’m searching it wrong in my emails… ‍♀

in your case above, do you know if LPP was done by Vancouver? what I have learned is that most if not all files go to Vancouver for LPP - do you have an idea?
I called IRCC yesterday for an update since I did the test on March 15 and it still did not update on the tracker (invite came from MTL). I was surprised because the agent said your processing office is: Vancouver. All along, I had thought that test office, is the processing office, lol.

Agent also said that usually the test invites come from applicant's local office. Then the file goes back for LPP to a Central office i.e. in your case: Vancouver. But for Oath again, the file is sent to the local office. So I believe, hmaster, you are accurate in your observations.

I had a question, which office is responsible for validating the test score?

For example, do I blame MTL (test invite) or Vancouver (VO) for this delay in test validation? the wait is beyond annoying :D

Is your test updated / validated on tracker yet? I have the same test office and I had the same test window as you i.e. March 14 to April 12. I did the test on March 15 :)

but my tracker still says "waiting on you"

as expected the test turned to complete today, with same date of test 28th,
Did your LPP update to complete? Our tests were mark completed on the same day but no update for me since then. I am seeing 2-3 applicants with later test dates got thier LPP done. Probably it's just Scarborough office that is doing LPP quickly.

No LPP is still not started. I believe LPPs are done with Vancouver (centrally). SCR is test office.

Thanks. Yes I get a feeling that the "Primary office" is Vancouver, after AOR from Sydney. Test and Oath are nearby local. I guess the primary does the LPP.

I am not sure but I get a feeling that test score validation should be the same office that sent it, usually abbreviated in the subject line of test invite.

i didn't. I just assumed that its Scarborough since its the test office request came from. Additionally, I live nearby Scarbs.
Same here test from SCR live near as well, but primary is Vancouver, for LPP - many other people I think are also in this situation from what I see above.

you are absolutely correct, this aligns with what I was told by the agent yesterday that the file can "bounce" between multiples offices, to better manage workload.

I wonder what the trend is for LPP these days?

Also, hmaster, how long did your test take to be validated (after completion) on tracker?

I feel LPP is looking slow sadly - at least for a lot of us with similar timeframes (compared to some who just race ahead as per tracker). Not sure how many days they take to start looking at it. "Not started" doesn't sound great.
test validation day shows same day as given - but was updated on the tracker 2 days later - this was the only positive part.

Do you know what office did the LPP for your wife? LPP these days is different from Test office. Usually the call center staff know the answer if you ever inquired, but I don't think there is any official communication that states this.
