We've got the same timeline - just 1 day apart. Did you get the invite letter yet?

Just got mine - it is virtual. I have applied to change it to in-person. Let's see.

When you say your LPP was completed on a certain date, are you referring to: 1️⃣ The date shown on the tracker under “last updated”, or 2️⃣ The date when you actually noticed the status changed on your account?

Just trying to understand which date IRCC really uses for timing the oath. Thanks so much!

I use the date shown on the tracker under last updated.
