No way to figure it out. Im seeing people get certain things before others and absolutely no idea how it works. Sometimes feels like they just grab a handfull of apps and go from there. lol. Soon it will come.

Thank you for reply. Is it possible that they will transfer in ottawa? PA is from India.

Look at our file was transferred , not all files go to Ottawa but some with less doubt/Qs go there. ours was sent there but further was sent to ndvo so rather should have gone straight to ndvo

How do they decide which goes to Ottawa? They seem to be moving faster.

As already answered above those which looks like to be easily approved or smaller/less complicated files are sent inside Canada even to a diff vo as a work sharing plan. But all such are not lucky as ours was sent there too, now taking rather more time by going to 3 diff offices..

Agree overall but there's more to it - some countries always go to country offices. And there are probably other things going on, as we know that sometimes they 'load balance' by sending to offices that are less busy (at least initially).

As someone else said, being sent to Ottawa (for example) is not a guarantee it won't eventually get sent on as someone at a later stage decides it's actually a more complicated file than it seemed at first - or other changes like due to covid. And if country office ahs some specialised knowledge/personnel that's needed for that file, being sent to Ottawa won't make it faster.

Put differently: fine to be happy if file is sent to Ottawa; but that's more a function of the file and their internal procedures, NOT a you-won-the-lottery-ticket moment and therefore it'll be faster.

(And by the way pre-covid it was mostly files being sent to Missisisauga like Ottawa now and those who had that happen were happy - and then Miss office slowed to a crawl, probably covid related.)

As long as passes is all I care. And not to long of a process. Straight forward no run around.

AND I am thinking Ottawa found something which ND can oNLY resolve. It may be age gap which may lead to interview or she had a Certificate which needs clarifications . Some documents in India they used to write 1st name only or they won't write last name at all ;things like that .

Yes, I think those types of 'local specifics' are the types of things to go to local offices, other language documents or expertise needed, etc.

Yes that's the correct link. From Ireland but I have got AOR and biometrics request. I have been using my UCI number for tracking it on ECAS.

Aha - should have looked at the flag. Apologies.

Well, we may be headed for ROI if this process bites too much.
