I received it today but the document was dated March17.
I dont have any idea why it was transferred. My application is straight forward.
No kids yet, no previous marriage or common law relationship.
This is not a good news right?

My husband (the applicant) had his file transferred too :( I called the CIC, lady was very helpful...told me the exact reason why...also was able to tell me the local office waiting time. We are 8 more months...
File transfers aren't always bad, but it does mean that you go to the back of the queue again.

Someone the other day on here had theirs transferred to Calgary local office, and then later rec'd a letter from Calgary office saying their file will be assessed Sept 2014...each office is different, but CIC can give you the waiting time and reason..just call 1-888-242-2100
 
@Cheshirecats

Was your file transfer because they doubted your relationship? Or for other reasons? It's very unfair to have people's applications for so many months only to tell them its transferred and you have to wait again
 
Hello All,

Need a quick help on something.. we are sending in our application on Monday. just confused with one thing do we need to send a finger print and send it with application.
Could someone please help us out.

Thank you.

Yes u need to send a police record from all the countries you lived since turning 18 years old, except for Canada. The checklist tells you what you have to submit with your application. Otherwise it will be mailed back to you.
 
We are not submitting the police clerance right now, we will submit it later. The countries my husband lived in, need a formal request from the goverment.
So the fingerprints are only needed to obtain police clearence for the countries right?

Please correct me if i am wrong. I was told we can submit the application with a police clearance and then submit it when they requested it due to expiry..

We applied through a consultant last June, and they never mentioned a thing to us about getting his finger prints from his home country. We received a letter in November requesting medical and fingerprints, that's when we sent ours in.

Dont worry when they transferred your file to the local office that doesn't mean there is a problem in your application .it could be they are confused about something in your document or some minor mistake.When my file transferred to local office ,it was just because they were confuse that why I didn't finish my course in states and came here to marry .
 
Hi guys just want to know when one request to have the foss note sent how long does it take to come back?
 
Hey guys, I got AIP on January 29th and applied online for the OWP the same day.
It was issued on March 21th valid until MAR 2015. Just got it via Canada Post.

The funny thing is that it says "this does not authorize re-entry". I thought it would be like a visa.

Congrats on the OWP!! However, OWP is not a visa. You can use OWP to apply for the re-entry visa though if you want to leave the country. That's what I am going to do next :)

Ours was the criminality part...there are few reasons they transfer files I guess but the lady at the CIC told me straight up what the reason was over the phone...
I agree, it is so unfair!! You would think they would have done this when they processed the first part, but it is what it is I suppose.

Did you try to call yet and find out the waiting time for your local office? Being a holiday weekend it might be a very long wait to get through to someone...

Good luck!
 
So, today I went to Service Ontario to get my health card renewed and it was pretty smooth, though they only renew it for 1 year at a time. The guy told me when I get the PR card, bring it back and they will renew my health card for 5 years straight. Hopefully, I will get PR at the end of this year. Fingers crossed. After that, I got my SIN card renewed at Service Canada. The process was straight forward since all they need is my OWP. Pretty satisfied with myself today for getting everything renewed in just 1 day.

Can't wait for stage 2 to be over. Btw, I got my medical exams done for probably 3 weeks now. They must've received the results already, but my eCas is still not updated. Will it show that they've got my medical results?
 
Sent application april 16 2012 after sending them the same document 4 times bc they lost it they started processing the application october 31 2012 called today and was told i would have to wait 8 more months before they would give a final decision i Can't wait for this to be over and done but it's worth it
 
CIC is working on applications received on October 5, 2012
