Change of address after receiving READY FOR VISA email

[palomoa]

I got the 'Ready for Visa' email a couple of days ago. I am a FSW inland applicant. Alas, I had left Canada for a while, and was not planning on returning for a few weeks yet.

Is it faster if I send the copy of the passport and photos once I am back in Canada (probably not for another 3 weeks), or if I request them to send my file to my local visa office?

Anyone have any experience with this? I don't want to screw up this far in the process...
Thanks!

suppose you ask CIC to route request to local vo. that ll take 10 days. then u send ur pasport there and they take 3 or more weeks. so u can be stuck waiting g for more than a month.
instead prepone your tickets or try asking CIC for extending it to 45 days giving them reason that you are outside canada

Thanks for the info. Is 10 days the regular time to reroute my application to my local VO?
