Yes you can...somehow...is a clue ....here is what I've seen from Dec 2012 to Aug2013:
"4.Your file was transferred to the St.Clair office on XXX, 2010. The StClair office will contact you if additional information is required. The StClair office will contact you regarding your citizenship test once all the necessary checks on your file are complete. "
than
This is what I've seen BEFORE Dec2012 (since I submitted my applic) until Dec 2012 and magically
AFTER Sept 2013. Same message, but different home center....loool
"4.Your file was transferred to the Mississauga office on XXX, 2010. The Mississauga office will contact you if additional information is required. The Mississauga office will contact you regarding your citizenship test once all the necessary checks on your file are complete."
This messages in ECAS are most likely limited (probably 6-7-10max ID messages) based on some sort of ID codes. THe ID code is merged with office where is actually present your file.
Once the file was relocated to St Clair the message changed with word "St Clair" as home office, this was not true coz my home office was always Missi, sound like a software bug... but is a clue where your file is actually than after processing in St Clair and returned back to Missi in Sept this year was re-updated with my real home office Missi, so when I draw the conclusion that my file was re-transfered back to Missi so word "Missi" showed up againin ECAS ...so the meessage was updated back wiith my home center!!!!. I have to admit the ECAS is waaay behind the times, very primitiv but is something than nothing.
This is a front office application interogating their internal database, as far as I know was not updated since StClair start processing all GTA applications, maybe their IT/ SW Developement Dpt should start defining more ID codes for progress status, this will eliminate many hours spent by call center ops and for users at least they can follow with more ganularity their progress status...or why not to disclose some of the ATIP records available online, I am pretty sure that the 5bucks fee is not an issue for everyone. Frustration occures due lack of progress status, hours spent to get a live voice on their call center, than build-ul pressure to CIC "free of charge", with a minimal investment to SW developers lots of problems could be put back on track...my two cents

Hi ymax, please do not take it personally, I just never heard that before ( I think cic in past did show the transfer updates on ECAS but now they don't). Mine still says started processing in January 2013 and that's it. Although I know my appl was transferred later but was not updated on ecas! I heard the same from many people on the forum that ecas never shows the transfer info even after they take the test.ymax said:Yes you can...somehow...is a clue ....here is what I've seen from Dec 2012 to Aug2013:

Please someone advise me....
My 3 year physical presence (within last 4 years) would be complete next month. I am preparing to apply for Citizenship. Right now I am in Toronto. However, there is a good possibility that I may move to Edmonton, for job purposes, next month. Most likely I will be there for over a year, may be more.
So, would it better to apply from Edmonton? (side note: I have been in Canada for 6 years now and have been in and out several times)
