    Based on this no. the Sponsor will receive and email notifying you that it has been transferred and the location. Keep an eye on ECAS under the PA if a letter has not arrived and you would see a line that says they have started processing the applications, that is your AOR 2.

    One can hope they can proceed quickly, It seems to me having it go to the local VO is just inefficient if they can approve so many from Canada with no concern.

    3 months from transfer date or from application received date? Overall feedback is still that Local VO is always significantly slower than CPC-M.

    We finally got our letter for transfer to the Visa Office, ugh MVO and not CPC-M. Just don't understand how they decide what stays in Mississauga and what goes to the local VO. Seems like we will be settling in for a long wait now.

    You need to always provide a police certificate, it's on the checklist. If your consultant tells you something that the application clearly says you need, ignore their advice and provide it. You will never regret giving a little to much, but too little will delay your application when they come...

    No they are not. If we are fortunate they will also be sent to CPC Mississauga where it seems they process the applications much faster.

    I wouldn't be worried yet, you are still within what looks like the normal processing time. Keep an eye on the ecas, it will update on the weekends as well. You still have a long process ahead, if you call CIC everytime there seems like a delay of a few days compared to others than you will...

    Based on the google spreadsheet they are working on the applications received the 27th and 28th. Processing times are sitting around 50-55 days from receipt so you are still within the norm.
