Any idea how long it takes to get those notes,once requested? Thanks

30 days official timeline. Can be longer. Can be less.

Thank you. One last thing ,on 27-06-2023,I had citizenship interview to verify docs.It was for just 2 minutes. I was asked to show PR card n passport than she asked me what's my Job. I am a trucker. Than she asked for travel history and gave me her email address. She said once I email her that she will forward my file for oath ceremony.
I have already emailed. There were dozens of trips.
Do they go through each trip or how that works ? Any idea!I appreciate you taking ur time n responding . Thanks

Me as well!! Kitchener VO and still waiting for LPP to be completed.

You and I have very similar timelines. Same story here. Hamilton office. Test completed March 10. Radio Silence for nearly 4 months now. LPP is still in progress. I don't even check status anymore. Just living my life hoping one day it will all be done!

It has been 4 month 13 days post test completion. LOL

I have contacted IRCC numerous times (by email and phone calls). I Called them so many times that 1888-xxx-2100 guys know me LOL. Also contacted local MPs office (No help)
There are applications from March 2023 that are invited for oath. Mine is stuck and probably other 2021/2022 applications as well.
I just told myself that this is may be the last test for my patience. May be 2 years down the line I/we dont even have to think about this process.

Hamilton Niagara IRCC office here too. No movement for nearly 4 months after test. Test complete March 10. LPP is in progress. Maybe its only for us Hamilton/Niagara folks.

I was on a facebook citizenship site and someone asked what to put in the subject line of the Oath paper when they email it back.
Some people put screen shots of what was in their Oath invite email and interestingly they were different.
Mine says "In the subject line of your email, include: “Oath form for [your file number], [your family name]”
someone else's said "In the subject line of your email, include: “Oath form for [Date and Time of ceremony], [application Number]”
and yet another one said "In the subject line of your email, include: “Oath form for [Date and Time of ceremony], [clerks initials]”

Why would they be different?

Could you please link this Facebook group?

That's depressing! Did you do your test from abroad?

This is the best approach you could possibly have. This is out of our control so let it be and sort itself out. Not making this application control your life is the healthiest thing you can do for your mental health!

Congrats. That's great that you've been given a month's notice prior to ceremony. In-person or virtual?

Exactly. No point stressing about it. It will happen when it has to happen. Every application is treated differently. it is NOT a first come first served process. Calling them wont help since they have a 19 month SLA and they wont do anything till 19 months has passed. Till March, everything was going quite smooth and fast for me. To save time, I did my test on the first day of my test window. There is NOTHING I can do and it is beyond anyones control. So I check my status every 2-3 weeks or so and I come here and then forget about it for the next few weeks.

I predict that you will see movement by July 23.

Mine was also going superfast until March 2nd. I took the test on the first day of test window (Feb 10th) hoping that the file will move faster. It appears that we have same officer- he/she may be going through COVID or COVID related long term effects, who knows. I am also from Hamilton. Took test sitting in my home in Hamilton.
One day the process will complete.
