Hey Subzero,

I share the same transfer date as you. My understanding is that under the new system, Sydney does more of the preliminary checks of the file and then sends it to the local office for the final checks (i.e. your RCMP record) and sending out of the test invite. Previously, I think Sydney was leaving a lot of the leg-work up to the local offices and thus creating major backlogs. If you read other threads on the forum, there are instances where people used to receive RQ's from the local office, but with the newer system, it looks like Sydney is the one in charge of more of the RQ's (this is not to say Vancouver can't hand them out).

At this point in our timelines, I think the speed of our applications depends on the speed of the agents in Vancouver.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi Folks,

My file has been transferred to Vancouver on 30 December 2014 (based on Ecas), I called CIC this morning and the agent told me that my file is in verification mode and they are waiting for RCMP record, my question is that who is doing this verification (Sydney or Vancouver office) and I thought when the file is transferred to the local office everything is done and we need to wait for the test invitation but it seems it is not like that (any comments on it)?

Cheers
Thank you for sharing this info. My file is transferred to Vancouver office on Dec. 31, 2014 so I will be monitoring your timeline. :)

any vancouver august applicants got their test invite? Please provide your info here, so we could track it together.
The process speed in GVA is slower compare to GTA, where at lease 10 more august applicants already finished their test and got their oath invitation. Vancouver have none until now.
cic recieved my files on Aug 22, my application is in process since oct 11, 2014.
thanks.

Hi Mark_Anna,

The database is not done by me, actually. I just found it here on the forum. :)
I added your information, according to posted eCAS data. Please, add anything if I missed. The database is open to add/edit by anyone.
