I think this means you files have been transferred to Western region - Vancouver office so that it can be processed faster. You will get to hear from them once they start processing the file.
I am also expecting a letter from IRB but haven't heard anything yet. Waiting eagerly. Let me know if you get any update.
I think every case is different and judged on it's own merit. So let's see how it goes.
Nope. The file hasn't been moved. A lot of claimants from 2023 and 2024 are still waiting. Maybe not going to hear anything until next year. Finger crossed
I think that's a foolish thing to do. If you know you can be detained for not attending the interview, how do you miss it. I don't think they will just kick you out after the interview.
