My timeline is soooo similar to that.

Pretty much all the same as you, I sent everything on the 8th August. They received it all and cashed checks on 14th August. I had my finger prints done on the 2nd sept and on 12th sept my case changed to 'ready to schedule for interview' so I wonder if I will get my interview soon too.

I am in California though.

Wow that is super fast, do you even have your work permit through yet?

You can arrive early but will only let you in about 10 mins before the scheduled time. The process itself takes about 10 minutes or less, the waiting takes the longest, but that depends on the amount of people there already.

When I went I was half an hour early, they let me in no problem and I was in and out in 10 minutes, no wait time or anything - I was the only person in there!!

My case is the exact same as yours, same timeline and everything they received it on 13th Aug, had my fingerprints on 2nd Sept and my online tracker changed to that on 12th Sept. I think it just changes to that after you have the finger prints and it will be like that for a while, you'll still be fine to get work permit and advanced patrol card.
