Just submitted it. Thank you . How long does it take them to respond?

It takes approximately one month to get the notes.
You should have received a confirmation email after you submitted the ATIP request.

Passed the test on 19th April, and DM the day after, 20th April.
How long should I wait for the oath?
 
For me, also an Ottawa applicant, it was test on 22.3., DM on 23.3., letter sent on 26.3., oath on 13.4.

It is great to see how fast the IRCC Ottawa office is.

Unfortunately it's not like that for every one. I've been DM since April 5th and no news yet. The rest of the process is going to be way more stress free if you go by the 4-8 weeks mentioned earlier.
 
Had my test on April 4, (19/20) and I still didn't get the DM on my ecas. Oh well, i guess i'm one of those...
