Is there anyone whose PA is from Nigeria? It seems the Nigerians have the slowest processing time. SA has been approved, bio-metrics has been completed and file has been transferred since December; however, there has been no update since then or even the request for medicals.

 

[Lynsita]

How do I know if my file was transferred?
Should I receive a notification?
Thanks

My PA is as well from Nigeria. The file has been transferred to Accra VO since December but still waiting for medical. SA and Biometric have all been completed. My estimation based on the MR is April according to what I have seen on the previous months, 5 months from application received. All the best!

Did you try calling cic to see what is the status of your application ? When I called last week they told me it was still in Sydney but that my secondary office will be London and this week I got the transfer email . Maybe try calling and ask where is your file maybe you missed the transfer email .

That is such a great idea. Could you please pass me the # of cic for calling them.

1-888-242-2100 then do 2-1-1-0 options to speak to someone .
You have to call from Canada tho and make sure the person calling is the representative so the information can be given. Also call early in the am or else it’s hard to reach them I usually chose the French language option it’s less busy then the English .
