Thanks for this info; can anyone share any info they have about why one office is slower than the other? Probably major ones like Toronto have too many applicants, but I wonder why Winnipeg is slow!

All I could find is some news stories

Thanks. I take it as a good sign

I checked this website:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/canada/ottawa.asp

This is what it says:
Case Processing Centre: Ottawa, Ontario

• Temporary Resident Visa applications from within Canada
• Permanent Resident Visa applications from within Canada and the U.S. Only

Now I am not even sure whether Ottawa processes citizenship applications, I will wait fors ome experienced forum member to weigh in...

Hi All, from the post above I am understanding that even thought the Citizenship applications are posted to NS they really get processed in the local processing center based on your post code. so if I live in Calgary my application will be processed somewhere I Alberta?

Yes, your application will be processed at the Calgary CPC. You'll know for sure when you get the test invite. Looks like Calgary has only one office, so has to be there.
