My PVO is Sydney and SVO is Ottawa . Eligibility has completed but Backgrouns check is in progress since two months and no update on date . Applied on aug 30th 2024 . Will they tranfer my file to any other office now and is the processing for both the offices slow ??

Go to the official IRCC web form (“Contact us online”) page.
  • Click on “Update or ask about your application” to access the form.
Fill out the form with your details
Identify yourself as either the principal applicant or someone acting on their behalf.
  • Provide required application details:
    • Application number, UCI (Unique Client Identifier), or you can use placeholder values like 0000000 (application) and 1111111111 (UCI) if you’re unable to locate them.
  • Specify the change you’re requesting:
    • Choose “Your mailing or residential address”, or both address and email if you’re updating multiple contact points.

  • Provide your new address, including country, province/state, and full mailing details.
Attach any necessary documents (if required)
  • If you have supporting documents (like a lease agreement or official letter showing your new address), upload them—but keep the total file size under 3.5 MB.
Submit and wait for confirmation
After submission, changes are typically updated within 5 business days.
  • Make sure to monitor both your old and new contact channels, in case IRCC reaches out to clarify anything.
Miss bee-Thank you once again!
 
When your IRCC file shows PVO (Primary Visa Office) as Vancouver and SVO (Secondary Visa Office) as Montreal—after previously being Sydney and Ottawa—that shift is usually administrative and not necessarily meaningful about whether things will speed up or slow down. They can change visa office due to various reasons like
Workload Distribution: IRCC reallocates files between offices to efficiently manage processing volumes.Administrative Adjustments: Could be due to structural changes, staffing, or system optimizations.No Indicator of Delay: A shift in offices isn’t typically a sign of trouble or delay, just an internal re-routing.
For your case
Not necessarily a bad sign. The change doesn’t imply that your processing will take longer—it’s just a different office handling your case.
  • Timing still depends on program and complexity. For example, if you’re under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), timelines still largely depend on your application details, your date of AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt), medicals, or any background/security checks.
  • If your medical is passed and there are no flags, things often proceed normally.
i can agree to this, my application was passed around several times actually. When i got AOR i called hotline and they said it's (PVO)sydney/(SVO)ottawa. Then when i didnt receive any updates as most august 2024 applicants did for medical, i called again and they said it is etobicoke/ottawa. When my medical and background check got completed in tracker but not in gckey, i called again and it was etobicoke/montreal. When I got issued copr details in tracker but still no updates in gckey, i called again and it is sydney/montreal.

Thank you for reassuring! Since you mentioned that your background check and medical did not get updated in GC key, I have the same issue. May I ask how long did it take for you to get FD after the background check complete status in the tracker? And were you only able to see COPR details in the tracker after you got FD?

Thanks again!

my application tracker shows biometrics, medical and background check completed and eligibility not started. On my gckey, it says they will send me a message once final decision has been made.. but i already have COPR details (is this eCOPR? im not sure, most likely not..) in the tracker and received P1 email.. so i don't have FD yet, im not sure when it will be done for me.. hopefully soon..

Understood, thank you for your response!
 
Hello everyone, I applied for a closed work permit while I wait for my PR application to be processed through the non-express entry stream. The employer paid the $230 fee, and I submitted a screenshot of the payment confirmation with my application. Now I received an update requesting an additional payment of $130. Would anyone know what this could be about?
@Miss bee , Can you help please?

It should be written on the letter you got that why are they asking additional $130.
