That's too broad of a question, my friend. Everyone has a different timeline, so it's hard to give an exact answer. However, you can check other threads to get a better idea of the processing timeline.

You are ahead of many other applicants who have been waiting for their BG check to be completed. To give you an idea, you are almost done, and this is great news!
The Vancouver office is well-known for its slow processing, so it may take a bit longer to schedule your oath ceremony.

good luck!

Thank you, I thought I could vote this year, but I think it is most likely not possible, just need to sit tight and wait.

True, I am waiting for Oath too, I am not sure if they are going to schedule this month or they will schedule only after the Fedral election results , Can you let me know when did you get AOR and When LPP got completed ?

 

[Gurghum]

Anyone know estimated timeline as to when the test gets updated on the tracker after completion, because seems like on the spreadsheet its a super long time for Vancouver office applicants. But anyone has any rough idea?

Technically, it will be updated 2 to 3 days after you are done with the test, sometimes, it may take longer which is normal.

Took test on March 24 still not updated on tracker for me. Right now can’t login into tracker because seems like site is down.

Took test on March 24 still not updated on tracker for me. Right now can’t login into tracker because seems like site is down.

I think it's not within 2-3 days actually, and even not within a week from you done the test.

I read from Jan 2025 thread that some people took test earlier got test completed on tracker shortly after they passed test. ( Last year's spreadsheet tracker shows similar for some people. )
But since then, it looks like waiting time has been increasing:
- Some reported they had to wait about 2 weeks. One of them took test in the end of Feb and still waiting;
- In Feb 2025 thread, more people are waiting for more than 2 weeks now. (Not sure if everyone's office is vancouver. At least Vancouver and Edmonton are included);
- Nov 2024 and Dec 2024 applicants passed test during Feb and March while Jan 2025 and Feb 2025 people passed test at the same period.

I read that some applicants took test in the early-middle of March called IRCC to ask status but call centre operator told them the operator(s) didn't see their test in the system and test will be added into the system once the test office done on working with it. Maybe application numbers were increasing so many tests have been stacked in a queue, still waiting to be opened by officers to review, especially at Vancouver office.

I personally feel like it's not just test/oath but everything getting slower though IRCC officially announced the processing time is now decreased to 8 months.
From spreadsheet tracker, even average wait time for AOR is a slightly increased: Nov & Dec 2024 = 12 days / Jan 2025 = 14 days / Feb 2025 = 16 days / Mar 2025 = 16 days (may not accurate because of less data)

And I agree with @Ali.arshady that it's still normal.

Guys, do you know what is the average wait time for oath invite from the Vancouver office these days? I got my last update (Prohibition completion) on March 05 and it has been silence since.
I am getting very anxious. I was really hoping to be able to vote and I also have travel plans ...
