The test and background check were completed in January, but the LPP is still in progress. In comparison with others LPP are typically completed a few weeks after the background check and testing. I'm not sure if the Vancouver office has different timelines or exceptions.

Mine application is also with Vancouver office… I guess I need to forget about this application for a while.
 
I’m glad to hear things are progressing at the Vancouver office. If my assumption is correct, they’re scheduling oaths based on AOR dates: April covered October AORs with LPP confirmed, May might be for November, and June for December. So, if nothing changes in the meantime, I’m hopeful June will be my month :)
Sigh… I just want to see my LPP moving …
 
Ottawa + Nov application:

I just got my oath invite for May 13th after what felt like forever - over 2.5 months since I finished my LPP back in mid-February. The wait was seriously something else, but it’s finally done! Big thanks to this community for being supportive throughout the whole process. You all rock!
 
If you are exempt from the language requirement, the tracker will show "In Progress" for the Language Section the whole time and never change to "Completed", as per other people's experience:

So if your Physical Presence and Prohibition are completed, then effectively your LPP is complete as well.

Many people (myself included) are seeing long delays-- months, in some cases-- after LPP completed, or even in getting LPP completed. Some have speculated that things have been on hold due to the election. I was skeptical of this explanation at first.

However, a friend of mine who is applying for PR through Express Entry told me yesterday that everything has been on hold there as well-- only one draw in her category during the past 3 months, and only one general draw in the past 2 months, where normally draws happen roughly every 2 weeks. So the fact that two different immigration streams (Express Entry and Citizenship) have both slowed down enormously during the same time period makes me think that it might indeed be due to the election.

Of course, that does not account for the fact that some applications still seem to be processed very quickly. Perhaps a general slowdown due to the election affects different VO's differently...
I've just got the Oath invitation. The language section is still showing "in progress" and Oath shows "not started". In any case, I'm so glad that the whole process will end soon. Thank you for the help from this community.

Seems like a few of us are scheduled for those May 13 oath ceremonies. I got my invitation email yesterday. Congrats all.
 
OMG I just received the oath invite!! It has been an AGONIZING wait of 90 days following my LPP completion (timeline below). It is almost unbearable when your fate is held in the hands of someone else (namely IRCC), and the long delay had me depressed, demoralized, and despondent (that could be a new Cole Porter song!). But the golden day has FINALLY arrived. I wept tears of joy when I saw the email... I could hardly believe my eyes, but it is real!

My life begins today.

To everyone on here, thank you SO MUCH for all your help, support, and information which have gotten me through this stressful process. You are fantastic! For those of you who have not yet received your oath invite, do NOT lose hope—you will get it!!

Canada, I love you!

Question for family applicants (virtual oath):


Can two or three people from the same family attend the Zoom oath ceremony from a single device, each using their own seat number?
