Hello, I am wondering if anyone is having the same experience as myself.

Type: Online application
Location: Ottawa, ON
Physical Presence Days: 1125
Application: Single
AOR: March 1st

No update whatsoever since March 1st! The status of my application is in progress for LBPP.

Here is the update I got from MP regarding my application:
"As per the IRCC, your application is processing in Sydney, Nova Scotia. The criminality assessment is still in progress, the security has passed, residency and language not started, and the knowledge test has not been done yet."

Is this normal?
Did your application move forward after this stage from last month ?

Hi All, I just received a email from IRCC asking for the finger print within 90 days. I have given my finger prints in June 7, 2023 as per the IRCC instructions. My FP has validity for two more months and don't know why they are asking for it again at this point. Anyone had similar experiences?

11 months after the BG and Test completed in May and still waiting for LPP while Jan 2024 applicants celebrating Oath.
I started to lose interest in citizenship at this point.

Hey, for the second finger print request, did it come from the same office that sent the first FP request or it came from the office that is currently processing your application ?
