Moving countries - Do they forward/transfer to new LVO?

Since I've applied for express entry, I've moved to a new country (after AOR and my meds passed). 6 months have passed since my AOR, and still no PPR (still BG stuck in NA2).

So assuming my application is with my current LVO, if I moved to another country (and I inform IRCC) will they forward my application to the new LVO?

Does anyone know or have any experience of this?

You can inform IRCC about this change. If your current LVO processes your application, you can later on request to submit your passport to the new LVO after the PPR.

Have you found out where your application is being processed? It could be Ottawa, in which case I guess your file would just stay there. You have to let IRCC know anyway.
Are you July AOR? We've also crosses 6 months and still in NA2. Processed at Ottawa.

I did email Ottawa and they informed me its been processed there. I assumed after a while it would be transferred to my local LVO (London at the moment), maybe I'm wrong on this. My AOR is August. Still in NA2 since September (65 days since I ordered my GCMS notes.. nothing yet)


And yes, if I move I will inform IRCC of course.

Most likely your application will be processed and finalised in Ottawa, I don't think they necessarily transfer you to LVO, it's to do with workload distribution.
I've been in NA2 since early November. Will soon be celebrating 7 months from AOR
