hello everyone,

is it all applications that are transferred to PA's visa office or some are treated in mississauga.
Yes all are transferred to visa office that is appropriate for your PAs country of nationality. There are a few exceptions, maybe your app is sent to a different country if you the PA was living in a different country, but then it typically gets passed on to the country of nationality afterwards and visa is issued from there.

There is a link on CIC that shows where all apps are processed based on type of app/ nationality of PA. I can't find it right now but I'll post it later. That's how I discovered AVO processed 12 different countries.

Question for the house: I have a friend who recently submitted their schedule A along with medicals, background check etc. On this schedule A they forgot to mark that they were denied a student visa to another country, not Canada. But on their original they submitted with their application they put that they were denied. Their VO has received the updated schedule A. Should they just send them an email to make the correction? Or leave it? Thanks!

If it was already state in the initial schedule A, I would suggest mailing and informing the VO of the error/omission.

Misrepresentation is not something to be gambled with. It's better to alert AVO with a serious explanation than to wait for them to point it out for you. It's a clear item even on the gcms note where it is recorded if it's discovered and ww'be seen how merciless they can be with the punishments. It's a tricky situation but if it were me, I'll email them a freshly filled form with a reasonable letter of explanation.

Spot on.
The funny thing is this is the major cause of most misinterpretation cases, and they are so quick with the bank thing, even though they pretend to give 15 days to explain the situation.

My take is your friend should fill another form, with a letter of explanation attached, claiming an error, as it was clearly stated in the first Schedule A, and not like they were trying to conceal anything.

It is better to be faster than them, let a CSE be raised,hard copy can be mailed via courier ASAP.
