Awesome! I heard Mississauga is quick.

I am still waiting...I called CIC and they told me my file is Scarborough. Not sure when they will invite me to the test or if they will issue me RQ.

It depends on your local office. you would need to check if there is a thread for Vancouver office where you can check the timelines of other applicants.

when did the receive line disappear from your E-Cas? do you recall?

no idea when it changed from received to ecas
local office vancouver

My ECAS received line disappeared in October 2013 and my file got transferred to the local office in Jan/Feb 2014. I don't think the 'received' line necessarily means the file got transferred to the local office.

I think you are right. It probably just means that they have started working on the file

 

[Dejaavu]

I just called CIC. They told me that my file is in transit from St Claire to Scarborough office. And if I do not hear anything by July, I should call them.

 

[dear_pnp]

Was your file not supposed to be at scarborough office to begin with...??

 

[Dejaavu]

It was supposed to be. No clue. I got confused.
