For Paper App, this is what I see when check my application status here:
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?lang=en

Question: which marker on the spreadsheet/group tracker do these dates correspond to? Previously, I filled out the tracker according to the emails/correspondence I received but that does not seem to be accurate...

Any updates @Zicomatic ? I applied for GCMS notes today with IRCC... It should take 30 days. Let's see
Most Vancouver/Calgary/Surrey applicants see LPP complete within a week of submitting passport scan... I wonder what the hold up is?
Nothing yet - Same Status - I got a response email last week nothing is needed at this time - I guess we just gotta wait

Good luck! I have a quick question on ghost updates: does the date remain changed or go back to the previous "real" update?

Thank you so much! There was no ghost update or anything in the tracker - we got an email this morning requesting another form of ID and the email said to respond directly to the email...

The last updated date in the tracker is still March 10, 2023

I am really hoping we all see some movement soon.

It's really bizarre that somethings are just in email, some just in the ECAS, and some just in the tracker. It's like they really want to keep you on your toes! I think IRCC was shortchanged by however designed their systems :p

I have been somewhat impatient since my LPP was done two months back, but I guess even if they meet the 4-6 months for oath after the test completion, I should count myself lucky. Seeing some people's application moving fast can make us feel frustrated - but looking at the Mississauga office thread, there are people who are started the process in 2021 who are just getting to the end now . There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason, so it seems to just boil down to luck!

Anyway, just thought I'd share my path to curbing my enthusiasm :)

Hi,
I am getting concerned as it has been really quiet 3 months, since I have seen any updates on my tracker. Any one else in Toronto who has not seen any movement on their application. Or anyone else with similar date line as mine, but has seen any movements ? Will appreciate the information, I am getting anxious as my PR card is expiring in a couple of months from now.
