We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on March 2, 2017.
We started processing your application on March 3, 2017.

Any similar timeline?

Same for me in Vancouver. In Process since April test, and the officer told me the Oath will be in 3-5 months. Let me know if you receive any update in your Application.

You'd better to get your own CBSA report. Ignore the advice on the form as it's meant to reduce the CBSA workload. CIC do not have access to the CBSA database and they also need to request the report through their internal process although it may be faster than 30 days. Many officers do not have the reports before the test, but if they do, it's also not a good sign as they might have concern over the absences you claimed.

In my case, I have very complex travel history, I prepared CBSA report, US CBP report, all flight tickets (almost one inch thick). The officer didn't have my CBSA report before the test, he started to check passport stamps and realized it's mission impossible, then he roughly checked the CBSA report (also very long), he only had 5 minutes so he could not go through all my travels but seems to be satisfying. He said I was the most prepared applicant he had ever seen.
I did order mine before submitting my application I was not sure for the travel date I didn't had my issue 5 month and 12 days total for my application I will have the oath ceremony the 12 sep no issue at all
