Found out today that my application processing office is Niagara. I’m an end of October applicant. BG check was done on Jan 20th but dead silence since then. Sent a follow up email to them. I don’t think that they will reply lol.

They will reply, but copy&paste the following words:

Good Day,

Service delivery and processing times may vary depending on the complexity of each individual case. The Department is closely monitoring processing times and is working towards decreasing them as quickly as possible.

I am in the same boat and same timeline as you. Called them a couple of times and they said it's in process. I have joined a facebook group specific to Niagara falls application and from the pattern, we understood that they are sending out invites to applicants whose BG was completed in Dec. So you/we might receive the test invite in a couple of months. Again, this is pure speculation.

My application is at Niagara. My AOR March 2022, BG completed May 21, 2022. Nothing since. I’m language and test exempt. Called them a they said it is in process there is nothing to be concerned about just wait. Niagara is chaos seems to be mismanaged. Nothing orderly about their processing.

Test passed: Mar 10
Test marked complete: Mar 13
I wonder what the trend for NFO is for LPP. I know they are currently sending test invites to ppl with BG completed in Dec. Anyone has any idea which batch (in terms of either BG or test complete status) is getting LPP complete now? I saw a couple of ppl with Apr AOR getting LPP complete this past week.

Now wait for LPP begins - hopefully not as long as for the test invite - what’s the general trend for NGF at present? If recent test applicants from Feb or early March can indicate their timelines.

Hey all, a little update for me-- my background verification was completed March 20th, reflected in my profile as of today.

 

[northern sunshine]

Was it an expedite request? That seems unusually quick.

No, I submitted my application as usual online.

 

[Sheru86]

Looks like no LPP complete updates or oath invites this week for NGF applicants, eh? Sigh....I sincerely hope they will pick up pace once the next fiscal year begins.
