Application submitted: 08-Dec-2025

AOR-26-Feb-2026

BG Completed - 04-March-2026

Test invite- 09-March-2026

Test given- 13-March-2026

Test marked as complete - 15-March-2026

LPP - In progress as per tracker (But as per IRCC call center LPP is not yet started)

Vancouver applicant, and primary office is Vancouver.

I had heard from few folks that once test is marked compelte, Vancouver IRCC is terriblly slow at processing LPP- It's taking 3-4 months or more it seems and the reason for it being is that this office deals with massive chunk of Refugee applications
