My wife is a Canadian citizen and I am a U.S. permanent resident and right now we are living together in the US. I have decided to move to Canada and she will be sponsoring me. On a side note, I have lived, studied and worked in Canada before, got married there and had my son there too.
If this is where the story ended, then I think the visa office my application for PR would go through is Buffalo, NY (correct me if I am wrong). However, I am a Bangladeshi citizen and Bangladeshi applicants apply through Singapore (again, correct me if I am wrong). On top of that, I am going on a temporary work assignment in Saudi Arabia (during which I hope the Canadian immigration process will be completed). Since my wife lives at home and never worked and most likely will not work in the future, I intend to show my income from Saudi Arabia as supporting evidence that I will not be on social welfare once I become a PR in Canada.
Now, which visa office would my application go through? I believe the processing times vary by visa office. Obviously, I would like to go through that particular office that has the fastest processing times but that will only be the case if I get to choose the visa office. Do I get to choose the visa office or is there some sort of criteria that determines the visa office and I have no choice whatsoever? If the latter, what is the criteria?
