I had applied online on June 2 so will my application be handled by LA, NY office in US or Ottawa in Canada??

I had sent an email to the LA office and they replied back saying contact the Ottawa office. Now for LA the wait time was 19 days and for Ottawa its almost a month.

they can process your online application anywhere. they will not let us about the place of processing. Once you got request for PP mailing, then you have an option to send the PP to either LA or NY. its ur wish to send it to either of office.

I applied Online on May 31st and got PP request on 21 Jun.. so wait patiently for your request.

Applied June 2...waiting. I emailed LA to enquire and they asked me to email CPP-CTP-OTTAWA-TRV-VRT@cic.gc.ca

I did. The automated response from Ottawa is as follows. Not much help but at least it was a response. I wonder if all online applications from USA go to Ottawa for processing...that is discouraging given Ottawa is impacted by the strike. The hyperlinks in the email (which I cannot include here) refer to cic dot gc dot ca.

The Temporary Resident Unit of the Case Processing Pilot in Ottawa (“CPP-O”) has received your email.

Same here mine reached to LA on 24 June and I am still waiting to hear back from them.

 

[majnas1130]

I am also on the same boat. Applied on June 2, LA office gave me the Ottawa email address and the wait time in Ottawa is 27 Days.

 

[majnas1130]

Sorry the wait time is 52 days for a visitor visa..

 

[notherAlaskaCruiser]

My online application (Jun 2) was for m-in-law's visitor visa. 52 days will mean no Alaska cruise and money down the drain for us.

Others who have received PP request - was your TRV for visitor or was it for work/study?

Thanks.

 

[majnas1130]

My request was for TRV (visitor.)
It sucks big time. I don't understand.

I should have submitted by post.

I don't think applying by mail is processed faster than applying online. Am I wrong?

Hi,

If i need to send an email to LA office to enquire on the status of PP which reached their office on June 21st for stamping...then is los-angeles-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca the valid email id? Looking at the upcoming statutory holidays i hope the stamping does not get delayed
