Four processing offices according to IRCC

[erikyle]

My test was from Scarborough office. I called IRCC, the agent told me the primary office is Vancouver, the secondary office is Sydney, the oath office is Mississauga. My geolocation is Mississauga, ON. Because Vancouver oath is notoriously slow, and there is no datapoints for Mississauga IRCC oath timeline, I was wondering does anyone have the experience in this situation?

timeline:
1.2 submit

You applied in January, everything except oath is complete 3 months later.
Your application is going extremely fast, and there's a very very very very high chance you become a citizen long before the average time for current applications.
But if the point of this thread is to know when exactly this "very very high chance" actually happens, no-one can say. Just sit back and relax, it's coming soon.

If I may add to what @Seym has written - so far I can discern no clear and obvious pattern of any use related to processing speed in knowing/studying/guess what office is doing which file and which is faster or slower. It's possible it means something, of course; but people in these threads need to consider that maybe it doesn't. Maybe (for example) Vancouver sends out fingerprint requests because Vancouver decides whether or not to do them and they all go through that step* - but not the only thing it does, so discard that info.

People reporting what happens to their file are a small subset of total (the most obsessed usually), those who check/know what office is doing what an even smaller (and far more obsessed) subset, etc. If you look at averages for your month and it's a recent month, those 'averages' are from a sample of only those that have been through the fastest. Etc.

There's a lot we don't know (and of course IRCC can change these things in their process at any time). Some of this just brings the level of interpretation to 'the gods must be angry, they have transferred your file to Oakville - REPENT!'

* I really don't want to argue about what people think they know about vancouver or other offices. They might know; they might not; mostly I think it doesn't help. Hey, have at it if you think you do - but more caution is warranted about what you think you know, too.

First question here is how do you know Mississauga doesn't have datapoints for oath timeline? Your file is being worked on so fast, assuming you applied on January 2 this year... Also they are not too slow, they have lots of applications to process, do you know how many applications they receive on a daily basis? Plus there are others that are also being processed already. The best approach here is to use a little bit of patience, and keep in mind that LPP can go back to In Process at any time until your oath date. Just use patience, don't compare to others.. I've been on that road before and can tell you that anxiety doesn't help and take you anywhere

Which office and what is your geolocation? I think it heavily depends on the local office and geolocation according to the IRCC agent.

Location NB, Office for the test is Montreal (for the best of my knowledge)

You can call IRCC to ask your event/oath office. From my knowledge test office is even different from LPP office.
