From what I've learned, there are only 2 specizaled offices that deal with FPs, one in the east and the other in the west. So, st clair is for those in central and eastern Canada. e.g. we live in Markham, my wife got FP request from St Clair and another applicant lives in Ottawa, but FP sent to Same office.
Sounds like FP requests location is totally unrelated to where one actually does the test/oath? So we could still end up going to Etobicoke for test/oath, despite St. Clair's office requesting FP.

In process since Dec 04. Nothing after that.
Location: Surrey BC
AOR Nov 10th, In process since Dec 03rd for me. Nothing after that :-(
Location: Montreal, QC.
I'm wondering if that's normal. I see plenty of people from Québec who were In Process in January and already got their test letter date or even test done...

Bit of a stupid question (but maybe it isn't)...I did not include any nickname that I use in my citizenship application. This is the name that I use for work (because my actual name is hard to pronounce). However, I did not include any mention that I have a nickname in the application itself. I don't know if this was a mistake or if I'm overthinking this. Note that I don't have ANY legal documentation of my nickname. Just something "English sounding" that people call me at work.

I have my test date soon...and the interview will be after the test. Will this be a problem??

Can anyone please respond to this?
No you don't need to update to IRCC. Application request travel history for 5 years preceding application.

However, interviewer in general ask you did you leave Canada after application.

For these that are interested, I just called CIC and asked whether ATIP requests would cause any delays to my application. The officer that I talked to didn't see any reason why it would cause any delay, and asked to contact the agency where I made the request for further information(if i want more information).

Just got my GCMS notes, says in there "Fingerprints Required" from as far back as mid December but I never got a letter asking me for it. At the very bottom, it says something about "upon review of fingerprint letter issuance. Referred to officer for review. IG/CEN-ON". I won't proactively send them anything, but obviously disappointed that a simple FP request is taking months to just send out.

Looks like I'm in for a long wait.
