An IRCC call centre agent told me yesterday that Sydney determines which IRCC office to send an applicant's file to by looking at the applicant's residential postal code and then allocating the file to the nearest in-province IRCC office. So any rural or remote location folk with an IRCC office or a 'Regional Itinerant' IRCC office nearby but in a neighbouring province have to write to IRCC to specifically request that their file be allocated to the geographically-nearest processing office. Anyone done this? Anybody heard/found anything different? If I'd known this before sending my application in to Sydney, I'd have attached such a request to it at that stage. Gotta love how bureaucracies think. Do the bureaucrats in the East realise how vast the driving distances can be out here in the West?
