Do you know approximately how long it took to transfer your file to Ottawa? Based on the last email I got, after submitting a webform, the agent said : "The initial assessment to ensure your application is complete has been finalized." and then "Your application is currently being processed at the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia.". Which I think is a bit odd, as they usually transfer the application to a visa office like the Ottawa one right after finalizing the initial assessment.
