It is weird that I only got the email invitation yesterday. When I checked ecas today, it says that invitation was sent on July 26 which is almost a month from yesterday.
 
Some good news which might (hopefully) affect our long citizenship process:

"Ottawa, August 21, 2019 – There are 10 offices across the country now offering extended hours on Thursday evenings and Saturdays as part of the government’s commitment in Budget 2019.
The following office locations are now offering extended hours:
  • Calgary
  • Etobicoke
  • Halifax
  • Mississauga
  • Montréal
  • Ottawa
  • Scarborough
  • Vancouver (Expo Office)
  • Vancouver (Hornby Office)
  • Winnipeg
...These services include citizenship testing, citizenship ceremonies and the granting of permanent resident status.
...The new extended hours also allow more people to attend citizenship ceremonies, giving new Canadians a better opportunity to celebrate and share this memorable experience with their friends and family."

I live in Toronto but my test is in Scarborough. Now that I know which office is processing my case, am I officially Scarborough for the spreadsheet or still Toronto?

As per spreadsheet you are still Toronto. However Scarborough Test Center does not mean that they are processing your application. It happened with other people where their Test Center was not in same city.
