This is strange, there is always the next due date, ask legalfalcon on his thread, he might help.
thanks for clarifying that for me... yes my A11.2 is Met and the R10 and Criminality are passed a day later this note that i mentioned so i reckon it was because i had been rejected for Canadian tourist visa years ago in addition to a fairly long travel history. I have a valid visitor visa to Canada now though so I'm guessing that is not going to be a problem. Anyway, thanks again.
Thanks you breaking it down for me. Following up on your explanation, what factors determine if a file is sent to CPC Ottawa or NDVO for someone applying from India? Is it related to workload redistribution or factors known only to CIC?Yes my friend almost 60-70% applications from India are being sent to Ottawa. These files are processed and approved at Ottawa only and sent to NDVO after approval and PPR issued.
The other files that get transferred to NDVO have preliminary eligibility checks and R10 and criminality pass at CIO Sydney. The Eligibility and security are finalised at NDVO and then file is approved.
Yes your file will be definitely finalised at Ottawa, you are not a CIO-NDVO case. If your file had to be transferred to NDVO it would have never gone to Ottawa mot likely, almost all files to NDVO are transferred directly from CIO Sydney office, (transfer period around maximum 3-4. month period from AOR). So you are 100% Ottawa case.
All the best
Yeah, all is great for you as of now and seems in the future too
.. It definitely makes sense to write to them, PNP candidates wrote collectively and there was some quickness in processing their files after that. It needs to be a collective effort and include maximum individuals who are crossing 6 months of waiting period. There are many points to make in front of them regarding all of this, but most of us June folks are still in the 6 month time period, so individually I don't think they will entertain us, it will be standard replies only.Thank you so much for your kind words dear, you humble me.

Mostly the distribution of files is random, but most files with previous refusals are sometimes sent selectively to NDVO, from what we have observed so far. Otherwise it is mostly random distribution. Many refused cases have also been sent to Ottawa also, so though a previous refusal increases chances of file to be sent to NDVO but its not a 100% accurate criteria as such.
You have read correct, North American files are sent to Ottawa, especially if one is a current resident of either Canada or USA. Recently due to increased number of ITAs and heavy load of FSWO files, around 60-70% FSWO files are sent to Ottawa irrespective of country of residence, as this Visa Office is highly efficient and so far most capable of handling the workload. So yes maybe your U.S experience added to this fact or maybe it was random, we cannot be sure.
My own file was sent to Ottawa and I had no travel history at all, no previous refusals, only Indian experience and education. So basically its upto CIC which files they chose, no specific criteria as such.
BTW are you in IP2 already or waiting for IP2?
Today is my 180th day. Still waiting...
Have you guys written or planning to write to CIC as you have crossed the maximum wait time?
Friends,
I agree, more and more people should write. It is by the book (for those crossing 6 months) and might help in hastening the process.
