October 2022 Citizenship Applications

[Babybae]

Vancouver office is waking up. Today I got LPP completed as of June 12th.
Although they only updated to me, for my wife they're still in progress (we applied as a family).

When was your test?

Hi everyone, sent paper application (family of 2) on Oct 14, 2022, delivered on Oct 19, 2022, AOR Dec 2, 2022. Background verification was completed Feb 14, 2023. It’s been 4 months since any movement on our application. I was able to call IRCC today and I’m quite devastated. 4 months after background check has been completed and our application is still stuck in Sydney.

I’m not sure what to do next. It seems very hopeless that the application isn’t even in a local processing office yet. I will appreciate tips from anyone. Has anyone been in a similar situation? How long did it take eventually?

Join the club, our application is also stuck in Sydney! LPP hasn't completed. Beats me why they like to hold on to applications...Seems like they are the ones creating the backlog when they don't process applications chronologically!
