MARCH 2017 *OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANT*

[kcward7]

Applying from Sweden

Interesting, why would your file go to Ottawa? London processes Swedish apps no?

We are Irish applicants and we got London

Why is Ottawa getting so slammed?

I don't know that they are, it's just me speculating. Large number of applications, they took on additional processing workload (like European applications, which they do), ended up being too much workload, etc - something like that. An influx of people applying at once with the easier, faster new application package etc etc. Could be a possibility.

From my understanding Ottawa processes some applications that normally would go to London if certain criteria are met, because LVO has been so back logged dealing with Pakistani applications. In my GCMS notes I can read "this application qualifies for in-Canada processing under OB570" and that it will be sent to Ottawa after receipt of IMM5669, which I uploaded to my online account Feb 21st.

We were told the same and got London anyway. We're an outland Irish application and my husband has lived in Canada for years and got LVO, not Ottawa as expected, which was a bit of a bummer, but what can you do. Our Northern Irish friends got Ottawa. Who knows.

January applicant here with application still in Mississauga as well.
Last communcations were request for PCC and Schedule A Feb 20th, which I sent the day after, and Medical exam which was done Feb 28th, updated as passed March 3rd.
Ordered GCMS notes which I received 3 weeks ago. Application in Mississauga registry, and doesn't look like they've done much with it.
Application supposed to go to Ottawa, but I have no clue as to what´s happening...

Really weird....I guess you called them many times and you didnt get a clear answer though.

Yeah, I wonder what those criteria are though. Our lawyers were certain ours would go to Ottawa and were quite surprised when it didn't. Maybe because he's already here in Canada with me and we're not separated right now? that's all I can think of. I really don't know.

Apparently they had sent us a correspondence to send the Schedule A form June 8 which we never received. After a lot of trying to report many technical issues, we understood they had difficulties and system glitches. We sent our Schedule A form May 19. Till today no updates or news. Then suddenly a message from CPC to inform us about our file movement to Ankara visa office.

I have been a month ahead of you,I got DM on ECAS on june 6th and the pass request 3 days later.from Ankara VO,Hopefully you will hear good news soon!
