In our case, we had the choice between Hong Kong and Beijing. We chose Hong Kong it is much closer if we should have to attend an interview.
Our application was sent to Hong Kong from CIC Mississauga on November 18 -- but when I check the status on the CIC website, I see only "not available", indicating that Hong Kong either has not received the application yet, or has not started processing it.
I now wish we had chosen Beijing, because -- now that I belatedly look at the processing times in each office -- Beijing is months faster. WHy should this be? Could it be because Beijng says "no" more than Hong kong, and "no" take s less time? Is there any way to find out the ratio of positive to negative decisions?
And can we change from Hong Kong to Beijing at this late stage?
Thanks.
