Cannot confirm but seems like this is a prabable theory. I would highly suggest NDVO people who know their file is at NDVO to comment here regarding this point about visa rejection.Guys, is it confirmed then? is there anyone without a visa rejection whose file is handled at LVO?
On the other hand i had read a comment by legalfalcon that in the past it was always the CIO-LVO route for all applicants. Off late Ottawa has been processing applications but we do not know the criteria for which these files get transferred to Ottawa.
