Those who are completed LPP recently, your tracker will be updated around in between 10 Days. My tracker shows oath scheduled for March 19th. Hope will receive the mail for oath end of this month.

To be honest IRCC is doing great job recently to finishing the application under provided timeline. there are some complicated cases as well. For me they are finishing 95% applications under their provided timeline.

Agree, most of the frustration arises from some applications processed at lightning speed. But overall, things are better than before.

Hi, I received my GCMS notes on Feb 13 - no progress since July 2023. When I checked status today, I see a Ghost update. Does this mean someone is working on the file? Has anyone received actual updates after a ghost update? :)

Fingers crossed for you. When I received my gcms note a few weeks ago, there was no update.. and I didn't see any ghost update before I received the actual update last week. So fingers crossed your ghost update means something as it always does. You should hopefully see something on Friday. Keep us updated.

Hello everyone. I applied as a joint paper application for myself and my son (8 years old). My LPP was completed on Feb 17 but nothing scheduled for Oath yet. On the other hand my son file is still showing in progress with ghost update on Oct 27. Will our Oath be scheduled together or how will it work going forward?
