AS a provincial nominees we not need IELTS scores, unless I am missing something.

I was justing thinking about that. Maybe, we need to request a transfer. First of all, not sure if they transfer files outside the US. On the other hand, I am also concerned that this might cause a delay in the process. what do you think?

I feel lucky that I got my PPR, and this long process of one year and half is almost over.

Good luck to everyone.

I plan to land in Toronto this year sometime.

How does transfer of case to a "local" office translate to celebration? Do we expect these offices to process PR files faster? I thought they will not have the required bandwidth as they are more adept at processing visitor/temporary visas. Or are we assuming that Buffalo has given these transferred files so that the local office can just complete the visa issuance formalities for the PR files? Does any one have an insight into what is the processing speed here?

The roller coaster ride is not over yet. My file is transferred to NY and from all data we have, NY is not know to process files faster.

Thanks Jxyj01....Well I wrote about ECAS status in my update because otherwise next question from some of the folks would have been about ECAS status.
Really it does not matter anymore what ECAS status says.....file is with a different consulate........and we don't know what their timeline is going to be.....or if they would request any further information...or ask for an interview...........

I will just wait until any further communication from NY consulate.......lets hope for the best....
