You wont' get many replies, as CIC/CHC doesn't transfer files when you move. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2010/ob180.asp

Visa 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 with a final determination of eligibility and process the application if eligible. The visa office should not transfer the file to another visa office unless the transfer is warranted for program integrity reasons. Leaving a visa office’s territory alone does 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 and that they are required to submit a complete application to the visa office originally specified within the 120 day deadline allotted by the CIO.

Dear PMM,

Thanks for responding. I am familiar with this condition in CIC regulations. I have read on a few forums here and on "trackitt" that some applicants were successful in having their cases transferred from Buffalo hence am trying to bring them on board to share their experience to enlighten others who wish to follow the same course.

Cheers....
