I was thinking, after processing the documents in Canada, it's not upto the applicant which visa office they want to forward their application, but upto the discretion of the main visa office in Canada. I saw a video on youtube, the applicant's outland sponsorship application was processed only within Canada, and it was a quick process. If I remember correctly, less than 5 mos. The applicant was from the Philippines.

You are correct, many apps are never transferred to a local VO, those that don't are processed in Mississauga and as you say the process is usually faster. They are transferred if IRCC needs the background check, security or eligibility to be looked into further. Some could also be transferred if Mississauga is too busy. Sometimes it seems to be luck of the draw. Looking at the tracking sheets it seems that 40-50% of apps are transferred whether that is intentional I don't know.
Hi! For background:
If he needs to do an interview, does he need to do it in Manila?
If he gets a passport request, is it supposed to be sent to Manila?
Do we need to update his mailing address?
- Husband has a TRV
- File moved to Manila VO
- Last update is medical passed (Feb 26, 2020)
- Husband is employed in PH and is currently working from home

Unfortunately right now he can't come to Canada. PH Immigration will not let any citizen leave the country on a TRV going anywhere. That restriction was put in place mid march, 10 days ago they lifted that restriction then a couple days ago they re-instated it. If he needs an interview it would be in MNL even if he was here, no way around that. If he gets here after the restriction is lifted then you would notify IRCC via web form of the new address. If he is here then his passport would be submitted here not in MNL.
Ohhh, didn't check PH immigration. Just thought that it would be fine since Canada's allowing immediate family members. Thanks for your response!
Yea, Philippine government is making it hard for their own citizens by imposing ridiculous travel restrictions.
So I am guessing they are still processing immigration cases?
Our file is almost same timeline yours...medical passed back in February just before the lockdown and nothing since then.
More than 27 million people in the Philippines will go back into lockdown. We have to wait longer.
may 90 days kang extension kht 30 days ang nkaindicate na sinabi ng IRCC check their website for info kasi Close padin ang Visa office hanggang nagyon eh. pero ang alam ko pag may PPR na send nlng passport via mail or courier. you need to contact the visa office sa email para sa instructions.3
hindi pa sila sumasagot sana mabigyan pa ako ng visa nasa probinsiya kasi ako.
