I just received a message in my account saying that my mother's file has been transferred to Hong Kong office for further review. We submitted our application to the Ottawa office and now is in the background check process. We have submitted all documents requested and my mother is currently in Canada waiting for PPR. It is weired that the application got transferred out of Canada.
Did anyone have the same experience?
Thank you
I am in the same boat. My parents' files were transferred back to HK in March AFTER the background check stareted. So far we got requested notarized copy of Hukou (it was not required when applied within Canada), updated addresses and history since they turned 18, not the past 10 years, as well as updated PCC since it was more than 6 months ago that we provided the PCC the last time. It's like they are doing the process all over again in HK. It's being more than 3 months since we submitted all required documents, we now received an invitation to the pre-arrival service, and 2 bulletin emails, status has not changed at all for 8 months since before their files were transferred. I am very disappointed with how they work.
My parents went back to China when CIC asked for an update of travel history. Therefore when we provided the update, my parents were still in China. I wonder if this was the reason their files were transferred back to HK. Did your parents leave after you started the application?
