Do you know when your file got transferred and when was it received at Ottawa? When were the notes printed off? €
The notes was generated on July 9th 2012. Regarding when it got transferred do you know where I can find it, I did not find it in my fast look.

It says;

Paper File:
Office: Registry - Buffalo
Location: CPP Ottawa

Does it mean it is in Ottawa?

I think it should be at the end of the notes, try going to paper file history and under application. Hopefully, somewhere it wold say IN TRANSIT and that means the file was moving from one location to another! The good thing is your notes got printed on july9th so you are the most upto date with your file. What is the last NOTE made by the Visa Officer?

It does not matter , I think. I would use the address that is stated on the application as mailing address and on the work permit. As you are requesting by email I dont think it should matter.
Thanks Sharuu. I have applied today. Do I have to follow up with them or Just wait until I hear them back?

It is not required, but it would be of no harm if after a week or so, just send them an email with your file number, and ask when are my GCMS Notes due. This should serve two purposes, you know you filled the form correctly and know the exact date when you should expect it.

Transfer outcome: transferred

and in another line it states office Ottawa along with the above same lines.


Do you think I should email Ottawa seeing all this?
