Also, I don’t think with online applications there is no correlation to your location to the office your application is assigned to.

I don't know about that. I live in scarborough and my test invite email also came from scarborough office. Statistics and the tracker excel sheet shows it. Most of the other centers are giving LPP completed within 10 days of test update, but scarborough office is taking like on average 7-8 weeks. Even, not a single person got LPP completed before than that. Paper or Online doesn't matter, it is the case officers or human assigned on the case they matter. Sometimes, they have too much workload in a processing center, or are following some guidelines too stringently (probably enforced by management) or their work ehtic or peer pressure compels them to do. Well, this is what statistics tell that some centers are super fast as compared to some others working on snail pace.
Thank you.

Thanks. I just quoted the statement based on my experience (me from Scarborough area but my file assigned to Edmonton office) and a few others experience I read on this very forum. I can’t speak for which office is faster or slower.

Is there no other office other then Edmonton assigned to your file? Like primary or secondary?

Generally office is assigned closer to your home but then files are reassigned to manage workload and later they get reassigned again when your oath is to be scheduled.

Not that I am aware of. The only communication from them is the test mail based on which I mentioned Edmonton.

Do you know if theres a specific app tracker for scarborough office? you mention 7-8 weeks on average, but i've read some users on this thread getting LPP complete earlier and some much later. does SCR process applications/updates in the tracker in batches?
