Ottawa currently has a processing time of 14 months I believe. Take a look at the Ottawa thread. Someone there might be able to help or have comparable timelines. Or check out the spreadsheet to get an idea how things are going.

I am not sure that they will request it. I have heard that Ottawa just does the file then sends it to the VO of the applicants home country. I might be wrong, but that is the experience from others on here who had their files sent to Ottawa.

If the visa office is Syria then your PPR and or interview will be sent or held there. I do not think you going elsewhere changes that.

I am sure they will advise you of where to send it in that case. If you are concerned you can send Ottawa a CSE.

Take care

I was just wondering if the spreadsheet can be updated for me/us. I/we got an e-mail (reply for one I/we sent) from our VO so I assume the file is there and would like to say that is stage 2 AOR. Maybe it doesn't count?? Not sure but I wouldn't mind staring at a new color....

Thanks!
