I applied at a Service Canada office in Manitoba, on April 29th, then promptly got a new job requiring travel in Early June. Phoned yesterday to see if they'd transfer. Took 144 tries to get the proper queue, then I was at 168 on the call list. Got through, and local Winnipeg office called me today. They asked for travel proof, have no ticket yet, but new company letter was sent as well as travel request. Hopefully that's enough, If not, I'll have the ticket in hand shortly.
ANyway, other than having to call 144 times to get into the queue, the process was relatively painless. hope the last bit is too!
