Hey man. Thanks. I used to think it’s obviously IRCC Bangalore because that’s what the VFS email told me when I had submitted my biometrics. But when I got the biometrics correspondence letter last night, I saw that the address at the end was of visa office Canada lol. No wonder the email for approval came at 1am and it took so long for SDS. Let’s connect over email?
