I've read about this. Sometimes they send there I suppose if too busy in Vienna.

Hey guys, when you got the approval of your sponsor, did it say in that letter that the application was forwarded to Vienna?

Because I am german, we are applying outland and the letter said the application was forwarded to Ottawa!!!

Exact same thing happened to us (my partner is German and that's where we live) with Vienna and Ottawa. Apparently this is happening these days. I emailed CIC and they confirmed that it went to Ottawa. Apparently we should be thankful because it's a faster office? ::)
 
For all of those submitting additional police certificates make sure they are not asking for the court certificate. We made the mistake and misread that they wanted a court certificate for a second police clearance and sent the wrong document twice. Fortunately we realized our mistake and sent in the correct certificate. We were lucky to have a really nice agent taking care of our case and would answer our emails and questions such as "have the documents arrived, we have not received confirmation etc.. also the day we sent the court certificate a agent called my husband in Bosnia and talked to make sure we sent the correct one this time :) I wish everyone fast process!! we were lucky only 5 and a half months start to finish.

How long did it take after you submitted the certificates?
We sent ours in February and still waiting for response. We sent an e-mail asking if they received it and they just said that they will notify us i due time.

We were lucky and had them always reply fast and answer the question, maybe because they were finished with all other paperwork and were only missing that document. Also when you do receive the email to send your passport, after you send it, send them an email if you send by registered express mail; for the tracking number, which they gave to us.
 
hi,
probably going through vienna too..
We´ll see how long it takes..

I read under some other topic, that Vienna apparently stopped processing applications...
I went on the embassy's webpage: "Visa and Immigration section is no longer open for submission of applications, documents or passports, or any enquiries"

Are you certain that Ottawa is faster?

Ottawa is much faster!. And as I read same information on embassy website last week, I got my application sent to Vienna and it's in process...
So I am not sure what kind of applications are affected by the notice from Vienna embassy.

Oh that's interesting! I am not certain about anything.. are any of us? ;) People just keep saying it's faster.. but I'm suppose at some point, if they are getting all these extra applications, it will stop being faster. Not much we can do though!
 
So my husband has his interview May 4th, and feeling confident and ready for this! We did not have enough time to order notes but not worried. As I read through the forum I see that getting PR is moving rather quickly and not very many interviews. Seems to me that all interviews are from the European countries, especially Viennna >:( We hope to hear good news the same day or perhaps shortly after. Good luck to those still waiting. :)

I'm not sure. Don't think so. But see yourself:

I would send it there anyways. They probably gone forward the application.
