My employer submitted lmia in Canada for my role on July 9. They are still awaiting the call for employer interview.

How long does this process take? When can I expect them to get an interview and approval? What are the processing times looking like currently?

Processing for LMIAs depend on the NOC. Processing for closed work permit depends on where you live.

So that is an executive NOC (VP, CEO role). Ask your employer to follow up with EDSC
They have said that officer is assigned and application is under process however the website currently shows 34 business days for high wage stream and it has been much longer than that.

How reliable & accurate are the numbers esdc posts?

Everything is backlogged due to high number of applications. Factor in where you live to. Assume your credentials and education match the NOC.

Any movement on your application?

My employer has received no update but let's hope they clear it this month. I might just start looking for a job elsewhere if they don't. After lmia it's going to take another 5 or 6 months to get the work permit. I don't know if the employer will keep the position vacant for such a long period
