Hi @legalfalcon , I managed to called the IRCC call centre and was informed by the agent that my application had been transferred to the Singapore (local) Visa Office. And thus, he could not provide me any useful information.
In this case, do I need to contact the local VO instead? Does this also mean that my application was still in a good progress?
No, he could not tell. He said once the application was out, he could not provided anything. Some people mentioned the review of eligibility is usually done before the application is transferred to the local VO. But I am not sure if this speculation is valid.
Oh, i actually assumed the final eligibility review is done at the local VO. your application seems to be moving fast for it to already be transferred to the local VO. Are you still in IP1?

Really? That's weird, I did not know they can't see things like security, criminality, etc if the file moves to LVO. When I last spoke to IRCC, I did ask them when exactly the file moves to LVO. He said usually towards the end to manage landing processes, etc, so I would speculate that this is after eligibility is passed. Unless they want to verify something about eligibility via the LVO (e.g. employer)—I guess this would be rare though. The agent also said though that sometimes they will send files to LVOs to distribute their workload, especially now that they are overburdened due to covid. Note that I am inland, so I'm not sure if his answer was specific to inland people.
@legalfalcon , I have noticed you have helped and answered queries from people, would like to ask you a question for my situation
My proof of Funds is FD (Auto renewal) of 14,80,000.00 INR for family of 5 which comes with the current exchange rate less than the required amount
The FD was opened in June 2019 for 10 months which has the Maturity date of 29-04-2020 with the rate of 5.50% this amount suffice the current exchange rate of 55.11 (1 CAD to 55.11)
The Bank Statement issued by the bank has the exchange rate mentioned with (1CAD to 54 INR) which suffice the required amount
In this situation should I wait until 29-10-2020 to cover 6 months and submit the Federal application
