FYI, the call I received this morning, the agent was working from home, as his dog was barking in the background!

So there's a chance someone centrally at SC might be gathering the info for people to be called and distributing this out to the agents in batches to make calls
Exactly

Got a call finally..!

AOR: Apr 04
BIL: Jun 03
Call From: Private Number
Call At: 10.03 AM, Oct 06
Residence Address: Downtown Toronto (Capreol Ct)
Appointment Date: Oct 14, 11.15 AM (Applicant) 11.30 AM (Spouse)
Appointment Location: 559 College St

The agent was very clear and polite. They called my wife rather than me despite being the primary applicant. We asked for an earlier date within ON. But the agent told me that she can assign us only in GTA since they discourage travel due to COVID. Only 2 locations are open in GTA - Scarborough and College St.
I was as well disturbed seeing earlier AOR dates being booked from the same location. But no need to worry. By this speed, they will cover almost all of us within 1 month. It's just that multiple agents are working with multiple lists.
Just be patient, and good luck!

omg everyone, I was just reading all these posts and getting excited that downtown toronto calls started then getting mad that they're coming in such random order. I was in the middle of texting a downtown friend to tell him to keep his phone on and my phone rang with an unknown number!!

my AOR May 2nd
biometrics appointment October 15th
my location - downtown toronto
biometrics location - college st SC in downtown toronto

She said they just started making calls today, her list started with a feb applicant. The only downtown location they can book downtown residents to is college st and it's booking up fast, I took the earliest time and date she offered.

At that SC there's only 1 desk (as others have mentioned) and 15 min appointments. Don't join the queue of people outside, go straight to the security guard at the door.

Have to bring a mask, pport, and a hard copy of the BIL letter (must be hard copy) so I'm glad I didn't get a next day appointment after all, because I have no easy access to a printer... gotta go to staples or find a friend with a printer.

It looked like GTA had been getting calls for a week or so now (Mississauga, Scarborough, north york, richmond hill etc) but yesterday and today is the first I have heard of downtown residents getting calls - very exciting. I was starting to get super frustrated that downtown was being left out when there's lots of SCs in the GTA and only one in the city.

hopefully vancouver gets the same good news soon.
