February 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[VanCity Surfer]

Is your LPP completed? How long have you been waiting for LPP to pass?

No still waiting for LPP since test marked completed on 07May - so its been 3.5 months. I will keep waiting, but hopefully sometime soon.

Mine is a paper application with the Scarborough office. I got my LPP on August 16 and oath on August 18, scheduled for September 27.

Great! So happy for you - congratulations!
When did you give your test?

Just saw it was May 30th when your test was marked completed.

I received GCMS notes today. It says E-Grant Interview PM03 Ready which apparently means I can expect an interview.

It sounds like they sometimes just call you for this and I'm currently living outside Canada and my Canadian number is inactive.. I updated my address with IRCC but I think I forgot about my phone number so I hope they haven't been trying to call me. I had assumed all correspondance came via email first. Anyone have any experience with this?

I couldn't really spot anything else in the notes that give a sense of where my application is at. My timeline:

Type: Online application
Location: Rossland, BC (currently residing outside Canada, though).
Physical Presence Days: 1097

Hi All, i've completed my Citizenship exam on April 4, no updates since then. language, presence and prohibitions still pending. Anyone on the same boat or have any idea how long its taking, applied from Toronto.

Just checked my application and LPP has been completed, it was completed on Aug 21, 2023 but it only showed up today

Pretty much same timeline except of the test completion date is May 23. Honestly, I thought Vancouver's applications should have processed faster at this point but apparently I was mistaken. Well, let's hope for any update soon

From looking at the tracking sheets it seems like Vancouver applications get to test completion fairly quickly but then are slow getting to LPP/DM/Oath compared to other regions?
