I have no words on this - seems to be - a story with no logics ( may be a typo on the applicant side or some sought of bla bla bla -- anyways good luck to person if it is true and honestly feel sad for people waiting behind the queue

My alcoholic sense is telling me that the same guy would become a Canadian Citizen, before he receives his PR card!

just look at the FSW-2013 spreadsheet (check the data for CPP-O):

It clearly means, that MI-2 and MI-3 have dropped in priority behind the very latest applications. Fortunately, there is a tighter cap for new applications, so we do not have to fear being cut loose (like pre-c50s) - at least for now.

Tnx Anthony. How can I pick it from Ottawa? How do I know the formalities are done?

Hi Skycanada. You can't pick it up from Ottowa. Either they will mail it thru regular post or if you sent an additional return envelop from canada post. That's all there is. Other than that, we have to wait...

Well, you can not ask to transfer a file to other visa office (you can ask but they will probably say "no"). I read here before that someone asked for file to be transferred and it was approved. I'm not sure if i believe this....

Files can be transferred to other visa offices only if CIC wants to because of "program integrity", only if it helps them to process the file because of a local investigating experience or local knowledge. Remember, immigrating to Canada is a privilege and not a right, they can set the rules and they can choose to follow them, as they SHOULD.

If they ask you to come for an interview and you don't show up (regardless of the reason why you failed to show up), guess what? your file will be denied. As far as a phone or skype interview, it is a their discretion, but i would think that they would call you first instead of asking to come for an interview, again, this would be easier for them to do instead of an in person interview. There must be a reason why they want you in person.

Below, is a copy and paste out of CIC regulations about files transfer, read last paragraph carefully:

"Processing offices may transfer files at any stage for reasons of program integrity.
Program integrity includes issues related to local knowledge, such as the ability to effectively evaluate documents: knowledge of local security and criminality environments; or familiarity with business practices and procedures.
Progam integrity also includes improving program efficiencies. For example missions may be asked by National Headquarters to transfer files in order to improve processing times where there are insufficient capacities to process the volume of applications at the mission or in the event of special circumstances (political instability, natural disaster, etc) . This not only helps the department in reaching its objectives but the applicant also benefits from faster processing times. Other factors may be taken into account when evaluating the impact of a file transfer on program integrity.
Processing offices are not required to transfer files for any other reasons. Such reasons include cases of applicants who comply with subsection R11(1) for the specified visa office, at the time the application is received at the CIO, but subsequently leave the territory of the specified visa office. In these cases, the original visa office should proceed and process the application as usual.. Leaving a visa office's territory alone, may not warrant a file transfer. In this case, if an applicant requests a file transfer, the visa office should inform them that the application will not be transferred."

obs35, let me tell you, you are a wealth of knowledge! thanks for sharing the info with everybody. keep up the good work!

Hey guys
I went for USA visa interview in New Delhi but I got refusal under section 214(b)
I have showed them visa interview latter but still I got refusal
So what I have to do now
Plz tell me

How long it will take to transfer my file to New Delhi now
Or they can take interview at phn or skype

send your visa office a email explaining that you cat travel to the US for a interview cause of visa refusal and explain where you live
and ask them for other ways of performing this interview, dont expect a immediate answer but they might just transfer your case or perform the interview in your country
good luck

If the file is transfer at one's request to a new visa office , will it not entail that the processing of the PR will start denovo? I am just curious
