Hello Amall, CIC has been opening Visa Application Centres (or VACs as they are known) in most of the countries around the world where High Commissions/Embassies are located. The purpose of the VACs is to take over some of the clerical/administrative paperwork for visa applications so that the VOs will have more time to focus their expertise and resources on the actual processing/decision making aspects of applications. So even though your PR file is reviewed by the Immigration Officers at the High Commission, the movement of passports and visas can be conducted by the VACs. Here is a link for you to read more:
