Applicant requests for a file transfer
Visa offices are not required to transfer applications for permanent or temporary residence to another processing office upon the request of applicants or their designated representatives. Offices should refuse to transfer files if a transfer would affect program integrity. The onus is on the applicant to demonstrate that the transfer of their file would not compromise the integrity of the application assessment process.
The following are examples of assessments that may affect program integrity if a file is transferred to a different processing office:
- ability to effectively evaluate documents
- knowledge of local security and criminality environments
- familiarity with business practices and procedures
Before transferring a file, officers should consult the potential receiving offices to seek assistance in finalizing the case.
Note: There are no fees for file transfer requests.
