Hi, from what I remember back in the month of June the application office was still in Mississauga and you sent it to the right place. I don't think you should worry because the change of address happened after that therefore its the processing centres responsibility to either forward to NS or process it there. If I were you, I wouldn't really worry about this. I hope this helps

Good idea! there is also a spreadsheet I found where people can enter their application dates and answers:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...vKs8LqbKxOIar2PzSN7j4xBxEg/edit#gid=887644349

Does anyone know the difference between the Mississauga office and the Sydney, NS? Are processing times any different?

My assumption is that it was too much burden on Mississauga office to process both inland and outland applications. With the change they might be able to process applications more efficiently and faster. I hope that I am correct as it would make it so much faster. just my thought. tnx
