I called CIC today. They told me that my file was transferred to Calgary Local Office. Because I moved to Mississauga. They will transfer to Mississauga , which will take a few weeks or even a few months. a few months ago , when the file is still in sydney office. a agent told me that since I moved to Mississauga, they will transfer that automatically to Mississauga. However, it doesn't happen. I am a kind of afraid that my file will be lost during the transfer. and it add a few months in my long wait. this is really frustrating
