Not wanting to sound rude at all- but it would be nice if we could avoid flooding the forum with "have applied- heard nothing" posts, simply because that's kind of a given for everyone reading this thread!

Speaking from last year's application experience, it was over a month before hearing back from CTC.
If you want a feeling for how last year's progressed- check out
