Hi! I applied for a PGWP on September 17 and today I received the following message:

“This letter refers to your application for a Work Permit. Your application has been transferred to the Canada Immigration Centre located in Etobicoke for processing. The Canada Immigration Centre will be contacting you with further instructions in due course.”
The application was in the Case Processing Centre in Edmonton.

Any idea what that means??
It means your file is in Etobicoke office. Their processing time usually being 4-6 months.
You can expect to receive the final result probably next June.
You may want to get your GCMS notes now to find their notes on your file regarding the processing schedule.

Any idea why this transfer happened in the first place? Why my application? And how long does it take to get these notes?

The notes should include the reason of transfer. You can get the note in one month after your application
