I totally understand how it feels, specially I felt more frustrated when my friend who applied one month before me (Dec 2024 applicant) became a citizen last monday and picked up his passport yesterday afternoon but still I am waiting for LPP...
It is just a waiting game at this moment, and if your file is at Vancouver office, then... you know how it is...
Just distract yourself from this application and do something fun. It is spring time and weather is amazing, get out and go fishing, hiking, etc.

Thrilled for everyone with scheduled ceremonies and those seeing progress on their applications. It's disheartening that there's still no update for the 54+ group though.
 
Hi everyone. Has anyone ever received the email to download your electronic certificate before receiving the oath invitation? My LPP were cleared on April 30 and my tracker still says ceremony not started but I just received an email to get my e certificate. Thanks!

Good luck! See, it didn’t take long. It’s clear that IRCC is catching up and speeding up the process, especially in Vancouver. Ceremonies are being scheduled almost every other day, sometimes even twice a day. I hope that everyone still waiting will be processed soon and can begin their new life as proud Canadian citizens.
