you are right ibejiopad. well me and my spouse have a lot of immigration history. so i am a bit unsure if that is the deciding factor in transfering the file to LVO. well i got PPR from LVO so i guess my application was processed there. My good luck
there are definitely lot of things that are in mystery with CIC but from what I have observed from my 9 months of preparation and reserch on EE system is one you have to be very precise and accurate with documentation and secondly being honest in your application (even though it looks bad on paper, I had refuasals), it ensures 95% chances of being successful with your application.
