I have applied thru' Non-SDS from India. My BVL also had Ottawa address.
Well I know for a fact that sometimes the offices do transfer cases from one office to the other if one office is overloaded, especially during peak times (summer and spring). And I don't know for sure but assume that first the cases of non-SDS or even SDS may be sent to regional office and only when it's cap is reached, it is sent to CPC (Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Sydney?).
Actually, there is a book for those of you who haven't heard, called Points of Entry by Vic Satzewich (https://books.google.co.in/books?id=Zk1BCgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false) this is a bit costly and some pages are hidden in this google books preview but the author talks in detail how immigration actually works and how applications are processed. Lot of behind the door stuff, a must read.
It’s somewhat confusing, mine was a non-SDS application and my BVL was issued by the Ottawa office. However, when I wrote to IRCC at a later date, ( well after I received my PPR ) they said my file was located at the New Delhi office.. if that helps
I read this article too..but it's not authentic bcoz it's not from IRCC.
You are right. I applied in South Africa and my file was processed in Hong Kong and only returned to South Africa at the end for decision (as per GCMS notes). I don't think it was because SA office was super busy either. I think they also do allocate to other offices just to ensure transparency and maybe also quality control?
We might have to wait till they announce about stamping passports and/or upfront medicals resuming. There might be news coming this week for medical but nothing to be sure of yet.
Hey this sounds like a positive update. I failed to get it on twitter/fb. Is there a reliable source behind this? Thanks!!
