After medical and biometrics I got a letter that my file has been transferred to Etobicoke. it is the general processing system or it means a long delay in processing.? Please guide me. Thanks

Hello everyone. My wife did a inland spousal sponsorship application, and work permit, I aslo have non accompanying dependent child on the application, i was out of status for 8 months also, my visitors visa was expired. we submitted on September 15, 2023. We received Aor December 9, 2023, got biometric request on January 25, 2024 did the biometrics same day. Immigration requested medical for child. I wrote back to immigration stating that i tried all offort but my son mother will not comply. I also sent evidence, I wrote that i fully understand that i wll not be able to sponsor my son ever. I also sent letter my mom wrote that she also tired to reach out to my son's mother that was signed by J.p. in Jamaica, immigration then requested my medical on February 15, i did the medical same day. On March 8, 2024 we received pre arival letter, then got another request for son medical. I sent more evidence and another letter stating ive exhaust all options. then on March 12, received sponsors eligibility letter, we didn't hear back from immigration for 2 months, then we received BLV. 9 days after that I received a Email saying that I'm approved for work permit and that it's issued to me, and will be in my mailbox soon. I got my workpermit 14 days ago, workpermit state doesn't confer temporary status.
I was expecting to get PR approved. But instead I got a letter from ircc saying my documents has been transferred to etobicoke for further assessment. So my question is due to the fact that I've passed all the stages to get PR, how long will it take for me to hear for Etobicoke to assess my application? And do you think its related to my non accompanying child? Thank you.

Files are transferred to Etobicoke for review where there are concerns with the application.

Mine also got transferred on 4th September I applied inland Jan 19th 2024 everything passed security criminality infor sharing pass I did an affidavit with my lawyer I don't want my child included on my aplication because I can't get thier medical done on Feb when they requested, I called ircc to know the status of my aplication they confirmed everything passed just medical for my kids remaining I told the agent I did affidavit on that I was expecting p1 email but I got transferred to etobocoke for further assessment for final decision just worried too, I'm sure the non accompanying dependant affidavit I did is the one delaying my application but have seen cases like mine that the lady was sent a declaration form by ircc to sign and send back stating she can't sponsor the kids in future, I'm sure that's same declaration I'm expecting, moment she signed and send back she got her p1 and pr came at last, just hoping to hear good news I'm really worried

My file was transferred there too November 2023 and I got an email from them December 2023. Sometimes they’ll take some time to reach out to you and sometimes they won’t.

Keep your fingers crossed they contact you soon however when your file is transferred IRCC sends you a letter to let you know that you application is now out of normal processing time and there’s no timeline on it no more. So it doesn’t matter if it takes one year or three years it’s all up to the office in Etobicoke to finish up your application and there’s nothing we can do about it at this moment other than wait.

Called them, they mentioned PVO as Etobicoke and SVO Vancouver
Oh okay, well in my case when mine was transferred I received an official letter from IRCC stating the obvious and then exactly one month after Etobicoke reached out to me via email and requested additional documents. Hopefully you’ll hear something soon, in the mean time maybe go online and request your GCMS notes to see the most recent activity on your file.
