Need advice please, I am waiting to be contacted by local office,Etobicoke

[SOIRA]

I applied for Permanent Residency under Protected persons Class on April 2012. My application was received on April 2012.
On November 2012 I received an email to fill an applicant declaration which I filled and returned.

My E-cas only shows: My application was received on April 2011 and nothing else.

No medical examination has been requested from which I expected but instead I received letter from Vegreville saying that:

"This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the Protected Person in Canada Class.
This is to advise you that your application has been transferred to the Canadian Immigration Centre in Etobicoke for further assessment. The Canada Immigration Centre may contact you for an interview or to seek additional information or clarification. Once processing is complete, that office will notify you by mail of their decision.

Passports for yourself and your family members must be valid for the duration of your stay in Canada."

is there anybody who has gone through this. What does this mean since I dont see anywhere they have indicated that decision has been made on my file or approved.
Why was it transfered before doing medical and what are the waiting times at Etobicoke

Where I am headed,I am confused.

Hi PRCR. I done the medical when i came first time , i was waiting medical request but they sent me letter to tell me my file was transfered to immigration local office

 

[SOIRA]

Simo simo

I tried to call the call centre to know why my file was transferred but they told me that it will be proccessed at Etobicoke. I asked them if it is a normal thing for the file to be transferred before approval and medical request. They said it normally happens

I applied for FOSS notes and they emailed 30 pages pdf document. They said the file has been transferred to determine eligibility. They didnt indicate that there is any specific problem. I am relaxed now. I am waiting to for 3 months to elapse and contact the local office.

such transfers to local office always prompt for an interview to clarify some issues or add more information.


Did you add your wife from the begginnng or you did later because the information you provide must be uniform throughout.

Request the foss notes and they are real helpful

This is to advise you that your application has been transferred to the Canadian Immigration Centre in EDMONTON for further assessment.

Hard to answer when you haven't given any details about your application. What kind of application? When did you apply? The more details you provide the more people can help.

hey simo simo how long have you been waiting since you get that letter? did you take the medicals exams already? i did my medicals on july 2013 and they gave me this letter on october after i sent my certificate of marriage. i have been calling to CIC and they say that the application was transferred to the city where i am and it says that the office may contact me. i have been waiting for a year and half now and they told me that i have to wait 24 more months which is stupid cause processing times says 19 months for the whole process. i don't know what this people think, my wife has been waiting almost 2 years and now i have to wit 24 months? they don't care about family reunification, is simply stupid.
