Based on this summary of October sample - i beg to disagree. Calgary is second to only Ottawa in terms of Oath invite sent 20/116 applicants just for October. And somewhere in the middle for the number of test invites sent out. ( i may be reading it wrong - and i would like someone to point it out to me).
My only point is FIFO may not work - bcos background check of the applicant may take varied amount of time. Location of the applicant also matters - based on work load of the office(as mentioned earlier)
Thank you
