Hi everyone,
I am planning to submit my application very soon. I am on workpermit and planning to submit my CEC application. I have a query about application IMM 008E (Generic Application Form For Canada), point 4 (Immigration office requested for processing this application). Could anyone please tell me which of the following 4 processing centers should I fill in (Vegreville, Ottawa, Mississauga, Sydney).
Thank you in advance
Jim
This is actually on the guide: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5609ETOC.asp#overview
Immigration Office requested for the processing of your application
Indicate the name of the Immigration Office which serves:
your country of nationality, or
the country in which you are residing, provided that you have been lawfully admitted to that country for at least one (1) year.
Note: Do not select the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) as the immigration office requested to process your application.
Although you may be required to submit your application to the CIO, you must indicate the name of an appropriate visa office using the criteria above.
Note:If you are applying for refugee protection from within Canada or being sponsored from within Canada, this question does not apply to you. Go to Question 5.
I believe you have to choose CPP-O (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/index.asp)
The case processing pilot office in Ottawa (CPP-O) processes:
visitor visa (temporary resident visa) applications from within Canada for applicants with valid status (students or temporary foreign workers only)
permanent resident visa applications from the United States and Canada after they have been pre-screened by CPC-M or CIO-S
