Need to know Visa processing office

[shwetasagar]

Hi Guys,

I have a question regarding my PR application under express entry program.

I received an ITA to apply and I have submitted my e-apr on may 4th. I currently reside in South Africa on a work permit, but I am a citizen of India.

I want to know which visa office would process my application. Would it be South Africa or India?

I have mentioned in my e-apr that I reside in South Africa on work permit.


Regards,
Shweta

The thing is, it could be Ottawa, too. The only way to know for sure is if you order your GCMS notes, or maybe via calling the IRCC (not sure about the second option though).
And your VO could also change. In my case, my VO was Ottawa, but when they got to the BG check stage, I'm pretty sure it was transferred to my LVO, Warsaw.
I think I've also read about a case where the application was transferred to a completely unrelated VO because of workload redistribution.


Edit: here's the general table: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/apply-where.asp But again, it doesn't mean your file will be in the VO specified there.

From what I have seen, a lot of applications start off in Ottawa and are then transferred to a local VO.

If you want to know for sure, you can always go ahead and order GCMS notes.
