I have had the same experience with CIC agent. They are really kind and polite but they don't give detail information. I thought I can't change them so I have decided to get my ATIP report which takes around a month but there are more details in it.

Just wanted to share my idea with you.

This is exactly what I think that has happened to my application. The agent told me "Your application is being prepared to be sent to your local office in a few weeks and everything's fine. It's in the queue !"
Sounds reasonable. but I don't understand why some people a bit after or before me have already passed most of these steps but mine not!

I think ATIP can be more helpful at this point.

Best,
S.

Test and interview done today. Got Oath letter for the 7th of April......
Got perfect score in the test, although the test was more complicated than i thought... Reading the book IS v Important..
The guys in Mississauga office are awesome. Overall the interview was good. I had one missing stamp and that was not even discussed. I gave him the CSBA report and told him i have all of my tickets+ boarding passes. He asked me about jobs, and i said i have all of T4 and ROE's, and he said he does not need that.The interviewer was happy to see me well prepared and organized;D
Best of luck to all.
