received email as :-

FILE: Bxxxxxxxxxxxx NAMES: xxxxxxxxxxxxx,


Dear Sir/ Madam:

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.

In order to expedite the processing of your application, your file has been sent to:

Canadian Consulate General

1501 4th Ave., Suite 600

Seattle, Washington 98101-1286

fax: 206-441-7838

e-mail: seattle-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca

The Canadian Consulate General in Seattle will complete the analysis of your application and determine if a personal interview with a visa officer is required. Your file number remains the same.

The Canadian Consulate General in Buffalo no longer has your file. Therefore we cannot acknowledge or respond to future correspondence from you. Please do not submit any further documents or correspondence to this office. If IELTS or TEF test results are sent to us, they will be forwarded to the Canadian Consulate General in Seattle.

In the event of a change in your address, marital status or family composition, you must inform the office noted above. Do not use the CIC e-Cas on-line change of address system. Your new address will not be downloaded to your file in Seattle.

Do not request the status of your file within ninety (90) days of the date of this letter.

All future correspondence you receive will be from the office noted above.

Hi All,

Just got an email from buffalo today: they have transferred my file to Seattle for "faster processing". Any further correspondence will be with Seattle and not Buffalo henceforth. it also says that No status update inquiries should be made in the next 90 days.

My timeline is :
App to CIO-S: June 2009
App + Docs to Buffalo: September 2009
File Transferred to Seattle: April 2010

Just wondering if anyone with similar time line have had their files transferred to seattle Visa Office recently.

Also, for those who've had their file transferred to Seattle in 2010: any idea how long it takes them to start processing?

thanks in advance
coolboy
