looks like ONLY the greater Toronto area esp. the Scarbouroughs and Missisaugas etc are moving super efficiently with people done in 6 months, 8 months and that sort of thing...where there is a VISIBLE trend...

everywhere else it's slower in comparison..and maybe very slow in Prairies etc

Slow? Try applicants in Ottawa! The so-called capital of the country, the seat of the government :p

Are there any applicants without "Transfer to local office" message who got test letter?

My application is in process since Jan 12th & wonder what exactly is going on since for most it takes from 1 to 25 days roughly to show "transfer to local office" from "In Process"

Any guesses?

The "transferred to local" message might not even be valid info ...
My guess would be let's wait for March see if anything happens.

Look like "transfered to local office" line in ECAS wasn't shown to all applicants before last summer.

So you can't really know if your file is still in Sidney or if it's only a lack of update in your ECAS, better to call CIC or ask ATIP (in worst case) to confirm if it's still there or no.

Do you or anyone else have an idea what does actually the central office do while the file is there ? Do they do background/criminal records check or they are done by local office ?

My husband's file is still stuck in Sydney since Jan 30th , however mine took less than a week to get transferred to local office .

Is it normal ?

Usually how long does it take from "in process to get transferred" for email AOR applicants ?


thanks

Most June applicants seem to move slower than others :-(. Hopefully we get some good news soon.

Seems after transferring it all depends on the local office speed.

Montreal office has no speed at all, for now ...
