I saw this article on how immigration officers screen applications. It think it is worth reading.

http://www.thestar.com/news/immigration/2014/02/01/a_rare_look_inside_the_black_box_of_canada_immigration.html


Some of the stuck out statements in the article:

“The system allows racial biases to creep in the selection process. They could use their authority to put it bluntly and crudely, to keep Canada white,” Satzewich noted.
While rejection rates are undoubtedly higher in some visa offices than others, Satzewich said it should not be interpreted that visa officers racially discriminate against applicants or treat those from some countries more harshly than others to keep them out of Canada.
 
Hi guys,

thanks,

DI

This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada. Your application has been transferred to the visa office in New York, NY, USA for further review of your eligibility and admissibility for a permanent resident visa.

The Canadian visa office in New York will communicate with you via e-mail. The email you receive will come from email addresses that end in “ @ international.gc.ca” or “ @ cic.gc.ca”. Please add these to the “safe senders” list in your email program. You should also check your junk mail folder in your email program and/or in your email website in case important emails get filtered into this folder.

Please note that the visa office in New York cannot respond to case status enquiries at this time. We ask you to be patient and wait until that office contacts you within the next two months. Your patience will permit the visa office to begin work on you

Do not worry dear
When ever file transfer to New York they will give you call for interview
Coz when ever file transfer to New York at the end they will call for interview
May be they have sone doubts on your arrange employment
Over all this is *censored word* processing system
After 3 or 4 year they start finding AEO is valid or not or something else

Hi damobar, how is your application going with the New York office?

It varies from applicant to applicant (case by case).

JJ-C,
Congratulations for the additional line. Despite the heavy snow in North America, somebody was brave enough to go to work to bring this encouraging positive news to your ecase. I Strongly believe that this month will bring lots of joy to many families that are dedicated and determined to make Canada their new destination. For those of us who can manage to fast, let's do so albeit once a month. For others, we can also go down on our knees and ask the unselfish 'King of Kings/Supreme Being to provide for us by opening our ways with unlimited blessing! Let the forum members say Amen! Amen!

Hi JJ-C,
That's a good news, at list some movement.
What additional document did they ask from you at this stage?

Yeah it is a good news. I got request for updated scanned or photocopy of my passport with at least 6 months validity. The email came in at 7.22 am EST meaning it was sent from Ottawa at 9.22 am. Isn't that terrific?

I really don't know what next...guess PPR.

I would go to my family doctor to get it in form of a medical report. Otherwise, would submit it in a sworn format
