I did have a feeling something was up though they asked for the case file. months after my sponsor had been approved meds done ect
If you didn't declare it in the app, then you may be facing a very serious situation. IRCC may determine that you committed misrepresentation, which would result in a refusal and a 5 year ban from Canada.

Apps aren't transferred to LA unless it is because IRCC has concerns and will request an interview. Do you have any red flags, criminal issues etc.? Have you requested GCMS notes?

Update: My document status changed from "documents uploaded" to "We do not need additional documents" assuming this is a good sign or at least a sign that the Los Angeles VO has picked up the file. File was transferred to VO almost a month ago

anyone have a read on this or similar status?

I believe the LA VO cleared you for whatever the issue IRCC had.

There are two reasons that US cases will be transferred to local VO, one of them is for an interview, and another one is for a further assessment, due to the reason that Ottawa needs more info, that sometimes is more efficient for the local VO to obtain them, in your case, it most likely is related to your prior charge. Now, it is obviously, you are cleared. So, grats.

It likely doesn't mean much besides someone looked at your file. That status can change quite a bit.

Not quite sure how you came to that conclusion.

Out of curiosity is there a reason the CIC agents cant just tell you the recommendations from the CPC ? I've asked a couple of them and while they seem have access to the case notes they seem unwilling to relay the information.. Would make thing so much simpler

The people that you talk to in the Call Centre are not immigration officers and receive very little training. They are there to answer basic questions and inquiries. Anything more than that, such as interpretation of an officer's notes, is beyond them.

We shall see this whole process is cryptic ‍♂......

I called and they told me that it’s completely normal for Outland apps to go to Los Angeles an that there where no flags or anything out of sorts within the notes so who knows ‍♂

Spoke with HELPFUL IRCC agent who looked into the file notes and stated that the file has been “approved in principle” on the Canada side just waiting on the LA VO to finalize background/security checks and final approval....

LA VO replied to my webform wait 90 Days before submitting any questions :(
