Definitely offices in GTA. Ottawa is as slow as a snail unfortunately though this will likely change in the upcoming months.

Thanks all of you.

But if I look at average processing time for 2014 applicants it appears to be same in ottawa or toronto

What do you mean? I sincerely doubt it... Toronto's avg could be between 6-9 mths; while ottawa's could be 1 year+.

This is the thinking - Toronto strategy will be 2 fold ( catch up on new applns and clear backlog) while ottawa will be catch up on backlog fast enough to free up time for new applns. That's because the new applns Might not be at such a fast rate. Both will yield results - while first strategy shows results right away; the second is a gradual catch up.
