We also applied through Ottawa 2nd week of September and it took 16 business days from their first notification email (thanks to atb above for letting us know about the timeline, I was starting to get worried!)
The wait was unbearable but I guess it was in line with the expected 5 to 15 business days. I read somewhere on their website that ALL tier 1 migrant applications are considered non-straightforward and thus take longer than the minimum 5 days.
Hope this helps anyone else wondering about how long it takes.
