I don't know about that. I live in scarborough and my test invite email also came from scarborough office. Statistics and the tracker excel sheet shows it. Most of the other centers are giving LPP completed within 10 days of test update, but scarborough office is taking like on average 7-8 weeks. Even, not a single person got LPP completed before than that. Paper or Online doesn't matter, it is the case officers or human assigned on the case they matter. Sometimes, they have too much workload in a processing center, or are following some guidelines too stringently (probably enforced by management) or their work ehtic or peer pressure compels them to do. Well, this is what statistics tell that some centers are super fast as compared to some others working on snail pace.
Thank you.
Can you post the email ID frm which you got the test invite? I applied from Scarborough as well. But in the invitation letter, it is mentioned Sydney office address:
Citizenship Program (Grants)
Case Processing Centre - Sydney
P.O. Box 12000
Sydney NS B1P 7C2

And email i received the test invite is :
<IRCC.DNMISCitizenshipE-Test-ExamenenligneCitoyenneteMISRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca>
can anyone help to identify my application processing centre ?

Do you know if theres a specific app tracker for scarborough office? you mention 7-8 weeks on average, but i've read some users on this thread getting LPP complete earlier and some much later. does SCR process applications/updates in the tracker in batches?
There is no tracker app actually. It is excel file (I think placed on the 1st page of this thread, where moderator or users update their file updates on different events e.g. test invite, LPP passed etc. Over there I saw different month tabs for the Scarborough office, and saw that applicants from August/September are still waiting on LPP. I don't know whether it is the update problem on that excel file, or they are really waiting. Some other members also suggested the average timeline of LPP for about 8-9 weeks for Scarborough. Although it is super quick for other offices for like 10 days or so. Well, that is the estimate.

@hashish89 Just out of curiosity had you not attached the IELTS TRF as language proof. I am planning to attach that. Why they requested for Degree

Me, I received your same request on Dec 21. Physical presence still in progress, Language and prohibitions were updated to completed on Dec 21 (updated on tracker this morning).
I got the same request today. I had everything they requested so I replied right away and I also attached my i94 travel summary from cbp's website as I have only been to USA in the eligibility period just to speed up the process for them.

Is there no other office other then Edmonton assigned to your file? Like primary or secondary?

Generally office is assigned closer to your home but then files are reassigned to manage workload and later they get reassigned again when your oath is to be scheduled.
My AOR came from Sydney
CItizenship Test from Edmonton
Document request from Vancouver

I applied from Vancouver

@hashish89 Just out of curiosity had you not attached the IELTS TRF as language proof. I am planning to attach that. Why they requested for Degree
I submitted a Degree certificate from abroad, detailed mark sheets from all the semesters, and an MOI letter from the institute stating the course was in English when submitting the application.

The officer said he can only see the MOI on his/her end and I resubmitted the docs via email again.
