Me too. Application for family submitted on September 1. No movement since.

May be we will hear something soon. My PR will expire in Feb.. I am contemplating renewing the PR now. It is really depressing to see all the ' quick application' updates on the tracker.

Hi,
Following with my timeline,
Today BG completed for all 3 family members ( as one adult BG was left out previously)
Also one ghost update, I think it is for citizenship test.
I hope the best to happen soon
TQ

@pumpkin_latte are you still waiting to hear on oath after LPP? I believe I saw you post about not hearing yet and trying to navigate end of year travel. Have you received the random e-cert message, yet?

@R17 Still waiting. No emails or updates in the tracker.

Hi all
Does anyone have an idea of how fast the West office is? Cause my application was progressing quite fast until the exam. I did the exam on November 12, the tracker was updated on November 23, showing that the test was set as completed on November 21. Nothing happened ever since (3 weeks now).

Here's timeline for my spouse's application: Application Status: In progress
Type: Online application
Location: Fredericton
Physical Presence Days:1110
Application: Single
Application sent: Aug 4
Application incomplete: Sept 13
Application re-sent: Sept 13
AOR:Oct 12
Application filed: Nov 2
BG Completed: Nov 7
Citizenship test request: Nov 9
Test Completed: Nov 17 (updated Nov 20)
LPP Completed: Nov 28
Oath: Not Started

I'm not sure where the application is being processed, how would you know that? The AOR came from Sydney,NS and Test invite came from Montreal.

Now the question to the community is, how long does it take from LPP completed to Oath Invite? Please share any information if you have.

Does anyone happen to know when the site listing the citizenship ceremonies usually updates? The site says weekly. So, far it only goes through the 20th and since my oath is scheduled for the 21st, I am curious. @forw.jane or @Miss bee, perhaps you have insights. You've both been so helpful before! Thanks!

Sending good thoughts your way!!!

It seems that lately they are sending an email to anyone regarding how to access the e-cert, no matter what is marked on the actual application. Since I got that the day before my tracker updated with oath in progress & oath date, I thought I'd include it. Perhaps, it will become a data point that gives people an idea of if/what they will hear next. Good luck to you in the process.

Did anyone from Mississauga office got oath in December?just curious
