Royal Canadian Airforce deployment of F-35 lightning II

[Totalize]

Guys,
As you know Canada has decided to purchase up to 88 F-35 Lightning II's. It will a few years before the RCAF gets their first CF-35 but my question is this. Has the RCAF made the decision as yet with regards to which squadron will be the first to be equipped with this aircraft?

They probably have but I don't think it has been announced yet. Presumably it will be one of the following: 401 SQN, 409 SQN, 425 SQN, 433 SQN.

My guess is that 410 might get some of the first batch, in order to get the pilots up to speed.
