I doubt that the Scarborough office will complete the LPP for August applicants anytime soon — perhaps not until next year, maybe even January. Their work process is very inefficient and slow. While other offices can finish the job within a month, the Scarborough office seems to require at least three months. It's an unfortunate situation, and nobody can complain because IRCC doesn't seem to care. Even though it's just one office that can't review applications within the same timeframe as all the other offices.
You can check
what happens during application processing. rajkamalmohanram explains everything here
- CPC-Sydney issues an AOR after the completeness-checking the application package
- A file is opened in GCMS (simultaneously).
- The application is sent for background checks
- Criminality checks are done by RCMP
- Security checks are done by CSIS
- GCMS checks are done by IRCC
- CPC-Sydney might do some additional processing (?)
- Application is forwarded to the local visa office for further processing
- Local Visa Office (LVO) checks and verifies the authenticity of the information / documents in the application package
- LVO sends Notice to appear for citizenship test and interview
- LVO sends a Notice to appear for Citizenship Ceremony (Oath)
CPC-Sydney never reviews applications after background checks; they are forwarded to the Local Visa Office (LVO), which, in this case, is the Scarborough office. If they are overwhelmed with applications from the GTA, they could redirect some of the workload to Toronto (Etobicoke) office or Mississauga office. Instead, they're increasing the backlog and our disappointment, especially when you see others already invited to take an oath within 3-4 months.
