Folks who are in USA and applied for FSWP:

I am confused, I chose New York office because I don't have a Canadian Visa already.

I can see that few people have chosen New York while others have chosen CPP-O.

Which one is correct? And please advise what I should do now. My application has already been received by CIC this morning! :(

Sorry to hear that.. its CPP-O for application of PR.
New York is used for Visitor Visas.

The worst scenario they going to return your package by highlighting on the mistake.

I believe you can send them updated application form that indicates visa office along with a covering letter.

But please refer to Seniors. Just my view...

Keep faith . all is going to be well. I think its a genuine mistake and could have been done by anyone. The good part is. Visa office field is an optional field. There is a chance that they might not bother it and forward it to cop-o if you pass evaluation. Till than, do not get depressed. It's is one of those mistakes that cannot cost you rejection.

This is my opinion. Seniors might tell better.

Thanks jigzyy, I am feeling somewhat better now!

I have just mailed CIC about this. I have sent my fedex tracking number also for them to locate my application easily. Let's wait and see.

If u had left the visa office blank, definitely it will b return

There was a case similar to this (can't recollect) where it was return, the visa office field was blank

Contacting them at this time very difficult as they will b flooded with applications

Suggest u to PM to VIP members such as qorax, PMM, syclla

I haven't left it blank. I chose a wrong one. I have already e-mailed and faxed them with my bar code and a letter to correct the visa office but haven't heard anything from them yet.

I'd try to contact the VIP members you suggested. Thanks.

You can only request a correction, as what you have already done. In my opinion it is not at all a great mistake. The CIO staff know that your FSW application will not be handled by NY office and being you are a US resident, they would correct the VO to CPP-O, even without your request. But, there is little chance for the negative side also because we can imagine about the very high volume of incoming applications to CIO. Those CIO personnel, sorting out the applications may get mad even with negligible errors. Be positive and pray.

I have just received a reply from CIO Sydney. The person who wrote it probably didn't even go through my email completely! He has just left me this link after wishing me a good afternoon!!

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG7TOC.asp

I sincerely hope this wouldn't be an issue.

I saw quite a few other people also have wrongly chosen New York instead of CPP-O. Any update from them?
