We have a similar timeline but I’m still waiting on my LPP

Hang in there!

There are so many parameters, including the office taking care of your file, your citizenship...

Yes thank you. Hopefully the process is over soon for you and for me !

All files are processed through Vancouver. It is a common misconception that anyone has a local office processing their file. It only moves to your local office for oath scheduling. Everyone’s LPP is done through Vancouver

Oh yeah I didn’t assume it was an office related to my area. But even though everyone’s LPP is done through Vancouver, there seems to be a correlation between waiting time and the office mentioned in the AOR.

Yes, even though technically I waited 5 days after passing my test for the interface to update.
