So my husband called CIC again today inquiring about any status changes and possible transfer of the application to the visa office.
We sent them Schedule A and PCC on June 22 but CIC only attached them to our file on August 9 after multiple calls and explanations that we never got a request for additional documents and the option to upload the docs is not available for us through GCKey. The last agent who we talked to on August 9th said that he is forwarding our documents for review, and our file should be transferred to Ottawa shortly.
So when my husband called again today, the agent said that the review of PCC and schedule is still not complete, and the process normally takes a few weeks. After the review is complete, "the application will likely be transferred to the local visa office".
When we pointed out that it's already been 4 months of delays due to CIC's unresolved system glitches, and normally US applicants get processed in 4 months, the agent said that the process is the same for everyone and we should expect 12 months processing time...
