Received FP request today. The letter came from Scarborough office even though I am a Brampton applicant.
Sooo fast, 3 weeks for the Test invite in Ontario, that's amazing. Also: I am surprised to see people receiving correspondence from offices which are not their closest offices. Perhaps the work-load is being shifted, as mentioned in other posts. Ottawa office seems to be at a stand-still right now, I haven't seen any movement for Ottawa-based applicants from July or August even.
That's true. Ottawa office is really really slow, my wife's application is in IP since Feb 11th. Her friends applied same time in November from GTA area finished their Oath as well.
Mine arrived early afternoon. It was an email with an attached PDF file that was a letter/test invite.
It's automated but with some minor differences. It was sent from an email address specific to my local office (e.g., Halifax) rather than a generic no-reply IRCC address, and the email subject line says "Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada Event Notification / Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada Notification d'événement C000XXXXXX". The information in the email is specific to my local IRCC office, including in the PDF, but it's definitely from a template.
No, don't torture your heart over this
. No movement from Ottawa still, I guess they are really over-worked these days. Not sure whether IRCC does any off-loading of files to offices in other provinces. I don't mind if IRCC schedules a test interview for me in Alberta or BC haha
