Hello everyone. My app is "In Process" since Feb28th, just checked now.

!!!!! Let the Jan applicants IPs galore :D !!!!!!!!!

I recently changed address(within town) and wondering when should I update it in ecas. Should it be after changing in all other places like CRA, License, health card etc, as they all could be sharing the info with CIC or vice versa?
Or
since the current address they have is good too, as my rest of the family members are still there, can I leave it as is?

In either case, how much impact will an address have on the processing itself.
They won't share your address, hence you will have to change it manually which you can do so on ecas. However, since your old address is still good, I'd advise you not to change with immigration yet. The less changes you make after you sent your app, the better it is.

They will not send you a hard copy if you recieve AOR thru email.Click on the link in email and it will take you to the book...you can download it from there...or read it there or order a hard copy.

As per the average days to the test check out the 2017 spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16cfQUVB3j56QktacolbsAxpNlOrvk2uFGZzm_ZFCnfg/htmlview?sle=true#gid=671336796
You nailed it. Looks like the minimum time for scheduling test after In-progress is 2 weeks and it's good to be aware of this fact.

Thanks. But my concern is would it be okay if I change my address everywhere else like license etc, but not change for Citznshp app i.e CIC.
when they start the process of background and other checks what if they find out that address is not the same.
Isn't it a problem? since we already have submitted photo id proofs like a license.

You are expected to keep IRCC informed of your current address.
Misrepresentation can impact your eligibility.
As you've only moved within a town there won't be any delays to your application, as there will not be a change of the office responsible for your file.

..And here is what is on my mind, lets say I update address literally everywhere including CIC, now that my app is 'In Process' and based on averages my test invite could be in 1 month. And my updated license might come only in 4-6 weeks making me to show either my old one with old address not matching with that of updated ecas.

Or is it just me overthinking it and I should just go ahead and do the address change everywhere?
