Hello,

IRCC responded to my mail as follows; Should it be taken with a pinch of salt (As a generic response) or in hope for an update soon really? Anyone ever received such response before and got something soon after?

What exactly did you ask them in your email?
 
looks like none of the July 2022 applicants who completed test this year 2023 has had further update on their file... based on the excel racker, no?

Wow!! That was a crazy insanely fast speed for an online application! I applied almost 3 months before you (April 26th) and my oath is on April 24th!! ROFLMAO!:D …..I think it also depends on the office. Mine is Scarborough, which is probably slower!

Not true. In the spreadsheet, there are cases where test completed in 2023 and have LPP completed as well.
