We are all in the same boat together. It's the inconsistencies between different office's processing time (heck, even within the same office) that made everyone mad because no one can set any reasonable expectations.

I received request to send copies of my passport for last 5 years. My test complete was updated on July7, 2023. Is this something I need to worry? Will it delay my application processing?

Passport request isn't uncommon. My test complete date was May 25th and received passport request about a week after and submitted it right away. Still waiting with no further updates.

At least they asked for something after you've done the test. It's been 4 months since my test and there's absolutely no updates at all.

Did you at least get LPP or some of the other stuff processed before your test date?

Also some people here said Vancouver is a fast processing office, I just don't get it. The inconsistency is unreal.

AOR Feb 2022
Test Completed Oct 2022
LPP Completed June 2023

That's 8 months already, and now no idea when Oath is gonna be.
The estimated processing time is 18 months, so I should be done by the end of this month. But who knows, it's IRCC.

IRCC inconsistency is everywhere. I'm even thinking about requesting for another ATIP note.

Our timelines are very similar. December 2021 Vancouver applicant. October 2022 Test completed. April 2023 BG completed and June 2023 LPP completed. Waiting for oath now. Please let me know if you get an invite.

Yeah for sure.
I also submitted Dec 2021. Except my BG is completed Aug 2022. According to my ATIP notes, they completed a second BG for me, probably cuz they don't think they can complete my application on time and BG expires after a year.

We might be in the same group? I read somewhere on this forum that usually they wait for an entire group of applicants to be all green, then schedule oath for the entire group.

Then at least there's BG. Nothing other than the test was done for my application. And seriously, the test shouldn't even count as work done by IRCC if you ask me, There's probably just a check mark to click on their system and the servers will send candidates scheduling info for the test session. It actually required work when the tests were done in person, now a days they don't even need a human to operate these things.
