I did call the same number. select options 2, 3, 4, 1, 0 and if line is free, you could talk to an agent. You could try other ways too.

Thanks! I will try to call sometime next week.

Yes, other than the test, nothing is completed for me.

I've stopped checking! Just a month to go before it'll be a full year for us. Family is traveling so even if they do wake up and send me an oath request now, i'll have to defer.

Same here! But my GCMS notes say PM01 grant review ready... Guess I need a Time Stone to understand IRCC's application processing :-|

Did you apply for GCMS notes to see if there are clues about what's happening with your application?

I did, yes, about two weeks ago. Still waiting for the response.

My GCMS notes came back this morning. Sadly, they don't say much. LP&P have not been started, my primary office is Sydney (?) and secondary is Niagara falls, and everything is assigned to RC-8090. Criminality was passed on March 20th, when my background was cleared. The security clearance section has a nice, big blank section after it.

Interestingly, it does state the following, which may be why the fingerprint request never appeared in my tracker:
Text: ********THIS IS A BATCH NOTE******** Fingerprint request letter sent via Bulk Email Letter Application (BELA) on 2023-03-03. As the correspondence was sent via the BATCH EMAIL and LETTER APP (BELA) there is no copy of the letter or email attached to the GCMS application.

Am I right in thinking I will need to proactively provide another set of fingerprints in March when the current set expires?

What’s your paper location status?

i’m in the same boat as you. Fingerprints were taken back in March and LPP is still in progress while test and bg are completed.
i believe they will “try their best” to finish your app before your fingerprints expire. Fingers crossed.

Ah yes... their "best"... haha.

I think this is the section you're referring to:
PAPER FILE
Office: CPC Sydney
#: (my application number)
Location: e-Grants

"LP&P have not been started, my primary office is Sydney (?) and secondary is Niagara falls, and everything is assigned to RC-8090" - mine is exactly same, with test done in July. That tells me to go hibernate for another 4 months at least before bothering to check for any status updates :/

looks like I am in the same boat. Planning to travel next month.

Can anyone guide me how long does the application gets delayed if I am not available to take the oath ceremony?.

The moment you request a reschedule, your application is marked non-routine. Which means ircc does not have to adhere to the processing timeline of 16 months. Most people get it within a few months, but you won't have the leverage if they go beyond the 16 month mark.
