I completed my test Feb 19th and my profile was updated to all completed except the oath on Mar 10th. Since then nothing! Online app, Vancouver office

Expect more delays my friend from tomorrow onwards.

April is coming to the end and no updates from Scarborough.. and there is strike possibility lol

There is. My friend works in public sector and told me that there will be still people working but at lesser capacity so more delays.

Well the above person received an oath for next week so may be it might not.

I received also for next 10 days but It looks they won't do it if strike happens.

Another update to share after the tracker update today:

Family paper application submitted on Sept 01

FP received: Mar 12
BG complete for spouse: Mar 13

Looks like my application has seemed to have got completely decoupled from my spouse as both are moving on different timelines altogether (even though it’s a family paper application)

How long it takes to get GCMS notes once ordered?

Should come within 30 days but these days it's not coming at all. Need to escalate n all. With them being on strike I am not sure what will happen.

Strike is official now

My friends who works in public sector stated that the work will still move but at a slower pace.

I wonder if the government will use the "back to work" legislation just like the 2018 Canada post strike to end this strike.

I did my test in January 2023 and no news since then. I am not sure if these notes will even help me or not. I have never ordered it before not even in my PR time. So was wondering what exactly these notes tell you!
