I think usually they send applications to local offices if you answer yes to any of the statutory questions.
Aha. This sounds logical. I answered yes to two of the statutory questions - I was refused a Student Authorization to study in Canada many years ago plus I have a medical condition, which btw is out of scope for “Excessive Demand”.

Yep, visa refusal is the most common reason why they get sent to local offices.

Yes, we ordered notes on February 28 and hope to receive response before end of next week.
I ordered on Feb 27th and got it 2 days ago. Probably, you will have it by the end of this week o early next week. Good luck!

OK. Thanks for the heads-up. Does this mean there’s nothing abnormal with the current long processing time with Winnipeg VO?
It's not abnormal, but we are getting shafted by CIC just for something that would take 5 minutes to check (open up GCMS notes for the previous visa refusal) and give a pass. Visa refusal long time ago is just a stupid reason to make someone wait for 3-4 months.

Another issue is these offices don't specialize in PR applications, they do refugee, citizenship etc. cases. I think they only look at PR cases WHEN and IF they have free time. Whereas CIO Sydney and Ottawa are specialized for PR applications, that's why they are more consistent, albeit being slow sometimes.
