TRV application forwarded to local office?

[trynix]

Hi everyone,

I submitted TRV application to visit my son in Canada back in March via online application. Around two weeks ago I received notification from IRCC stating that my application has been forwarded to Abu Dhabi office.

Why would my application be forwarded to a different office after all this time, and does this reset my processing time on the application?

There is likely some element on your application that requires the input of the local visa office.
