The CIC once told me the same. Gave me the LOT date which was similar to the processing date. I knew something was wrong. Fast forward 2 months, and I got to know my "real" transfer date.

Good luck to all and please let me know if you have any questions.

Nothing new on my end. I called CIC a few weeks ago and I was told my file is in transit to local office in Scarborough. Not sure how long it will take before I get a test invitation. Most of the people in the Mississauga local office have been lucky and Oakville seems to be fast as well.

Congrats !! did you travel during the 4 year period ?

Yes, I traveled to the USA (including many day trips to Buffalo, NY) and South America for up to 3 weeks for both, business and pleasure. Everything was declared in my application with details, except day trips.

Let me know if you have further questions.

@Dejaavu: Thank you for your kind words. All the best!

Seems to be July applications are moving much faster than June applications based on the July thread here.

I just checked my ECAS. No change.
