I'm going from 1080FTW -> 1080FTW ICX -> 1080ti SC
[...]
I want to immediately start the 1080ti SC step up..do i have to wait for the package to start the process - so i can upload the invoice?
I cant find the invoice digitally..

The invoice is automatically attached to your account by EVGA the same way as your iCX card when auto-registered.
So you can start the step-up process today. I guess by the time you get approved to step 2, you'll have received your card.

Go EVGA 

i'm rocking the gtx 680  for now :)

I'm still waiting...waiting...waiting.
Submitted on May 11, 3:30 pm. at step 1.

I got my step 5 email yesterday. My FTW2 is boxed up and will be shipping out tomorrow. I entered the step-up queue on May 10th at 10:30PM EST.

Step-up 2 FTW2 iCX upgrades May 10. (Canada) Available May 22, Paid 1st card, and shipped today (24). 

Didn't start my step up until the 15th so I feel like it's gonna be a hell of a wait if we're still only on people from the 10th/11th :(

Waiting

Great thanks -there was actually a problem with my profile and i couldnt start the step up.  Support was able to clear it up and im on step 1 atm, with the 1080FTW2 arriving today.  It cost $53 to ship the 1080ti black to Canada :P total $93USD for step-up + shipping (estimated) 
 
Total for 1080FTW -> 1080FTW2 -> 1080ti SC Black is:

1. $99 for FTW -> FTW ICX upgrade
2. $30 to ship FTW to EVGA (from Canada)
3. $93 for FTW ICX -> 1080ti SC Black
4. $30 to ship FTW2 to EVGA

Total: $252USD 
Ouch - it may have been cheaper to sell my 1080FTW and buy the 1080ti SC outright.

I'm in the same boat, q2klepto. I applied on the 15th with no word yet and I'm having second thoughts about the total cost. I am Canadian as well, but I don't think that it would have been cheaper if you had sold your 1080 FTW for the 1080 ti. Here is my cost breakdown:
 
                          CAN (Current XE conversion rate)
     New Product - $970.44
Original Product - $692.74 (1080 FTW on sale)
   Step-Up Cost - $277.74
  Shipping Cost - $55.46
                 Tax - $0.00
       Total Cost - $333.20
 
That is what my EVGA profile says, but this is what it will end up being:
 
         Total Cost - $333.20
   Local ON taxes - 13%
Shipping to evga - $30
       Actual Cost - $406.51 (Estimated)
 
If I had bought the 1080 ti card from Amazon instead of my 1080 FTW (Wasn't announced yet but yolo), it would have been about the same price:
 
Current 'Mike's Computers' on Amazon.ca after taxes - $1189.87
                 My step-up with my price paid 1080 FTW - $1206.40
                                                             Difference - $16.53
 
Personally I love how EVGA has made the end cost work out to be almost the same as the new card, as that's how the step-up program is supposed to work. Although it looks like you paid another $30 for shipping your first card back, and I have to pay $16.53. I could really use the 1080 ti, though $406.51 CAN for only a 25-30% performance increase is hard to justify, though that's on Nvidia's end.
 
I'm still debating whether to cancel the Step-Up process or not as I love my 1080 FTW, it's the most beautiful card I've ever owned, and the 1080 ti Black SC isn't the prettiest...

Received my new stepup today:
 

My card just got to EVGA today!
 
Hoping to have the Ti next week :D

Yeah, it's an allocation thing. Or else they are a lot of orders to get through. I applied on the 12th.
