Once they start looking at paper file at Sydney, some forms are uploaded into the system. Paper file is sent to the corresponding visa office at the time of transfer. I think they send files collectively not one by one. When the paper file package is opened and accepted at the VO, that is when the ECAS status changes to APP RECEIVED. This is why there is a time gap between when they send file transfer letter and status update APP RECEIVED.

thanks buddy that make sense to me,
They might be scanning the forms online and additional paperwork that we sent with file that they send to NDVO for verification.
One more question I have is that some people get transfer to Ottawa, then some has it to NDVO.
Is there any particular reason.?

Eagerly waiting for NDVO to announce whether VACs and VFS will open in November or not.
If they announce they will not open .. they should give us poison..
To end al the pain .. corona will not kill me ..depression will
Some files are approved at CPC Mississauga which was way quicker before Covid. Very straightforward files are moved to Mississauga and if the officer needs further review (like any additional docs), then the file is transferred again to corresponding VO. Second transfer doesnt mean something is wrong .... it's a very normal procedure. This way more than 50% files still end up at the local VO from Mississauga. The only disadvantage is NDVO takes way longer than CPC-M
Agreed. I am one of that unlucky bunch who's file got transferred from Cpc-M to Ndvo. And they wasted 2 months between doing that.
