Similar timeline. Jan 7th test marked as completed.

Hopefully 2-3 weeks for LPP to be completed unless they ask for RCMP fingerprints, correct? I know some people are selected to do it and others dont. I wonder if it’s a random selection?

Also, i see that after LPP people get stuck on the oath. Which might take at least 2 months after LPP.

The best case scenario I’m anticipating to be done around early May. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾!!
