make sure to check your junk folder to see if they sent you a FP request. If not, you can always call the CC and inquire

There is no case in January that I can see that reached this stage for test required applicants and December so far has only one case.

Sorry I meant November and December. There is only one case in December but November has plenty of them

Thanks. Nothing in junk folder. Does FP request also appear in status tracker?

You know whats funny or different - Nov applicants all got test in Feb (same as Jan applicants), could that be the reason they got LPP in 3 weeks - would be interesting if Jan'ers move same as Nov

This is a great timeline. Where is your application being processed?

How does anyone know what their office is? They never mention and its CPC Sydney for the most part. They never inform you that they have locally transferred your case for routine cases. Are you guys just assuming an office based on the city you reside?

Check the subject of the test invitation email. Mine says SCR, which is Scarborough, ON

Test invites always come from the same ID. It's always SCR. I don't live there or have anything to do with that office - mins says SCR too.

Here is what I found.

Processing Offices: IRCC has multiple citizenship offices across Canada (e.g., Sydney, NS; Mississauga, ON), but Scarborough is a major hub for e-Applications, especially post-2020 when online processing expanded. The acronym aligns with its role in handling citizenship tests, interviews, and oaths.

Scarborough office.
