Does anyone know what this means? Is it a good thing or just shuffling work around?

This is in reference to your application for a permanent residence in Canada. Your application has been transferred to the visa office in New York, NY, USA for further review of your eligibility and admissibility for a permanent resident visa. The Canadian visa office in New York will communicate with you via email. The email you receive will come from email addresses that end in “@international.gc.ca” or “@cic.gc.ca”. Please add these to the “safe senders” list in your email program. You should also check your junk mail folder in case important emails get filtered into this folder. Please note that the visa office in New York cannot respond to case status enquiries at this time. We ask you to be patient and wait until that office contacts you within the next two months. Your patience will permit the visa office to begin work on your application more quickly.

Even though my file was already being processed in Ottawa? Just felt weird that they transferred it after processing everything for over a year.

It has been over 2 months, starting to get a little discouraged again. I keep telling myself it will be any day now, but this whole process is frustrating. I just wish there was a good way to get an update instead of just waiting indefinitely.

Try your MP's office.

Do you have any advise on how to go about that? Since we are living in USA would it just be the MP in the area we are going to be moving to? Or does a family member that is living there need to reach out to their MP? I've never done that before so just wasn't sure on the process.

Either one of those approaches will work. I'd prefer the one where family member lives, but up to you.

I did end up emailing the MP in the area where my family lives. He got back to me really quick and called immigration for me the next day. Unfortunately they told him they didn't have any updated beyond what I already knew.

Hey, just wandering if you received your PPR. Can you please share how long it took to get PPR from VO ?
