What is you initial hypothesis here?

I am doing a little bit of research and found files are moving to certain departments. However, this is just an initial review and may not be accurate.

When the file is not opened most of the applicants receive a message from Immigration and Medical Services Division (or mostly from EXP) and this is the case for most of the Change in Information cases as well.

When a file is opened and is with analyst the replies will start to come from Program Assistants (or mostly VCM) and this is the case for most of the additional documents cases as well.

When a file is undergoing background or security checks by LVO the reply starts to come from Program Assistants (or mostly DRD) and this is the case for Data Release Cases as well.

For other departments, I need more research and Finally, I can't find exact names of the abbreviations used by the Visa Office.

These are initial understanding and I am trying to come with things that are more accurate.

Those who receive a message from Client Service Unit (CSU) are you an FSW applicant or PNP. The trend shows most FSW applicants whose file is not started receive a reply from CSU while PNP applicants receive a reply from Immigration and Medical Services Division (IMSD).
