Inland Application - file transferred to Scarborough Office

[ocpb]

Hi All,

I was going through this forums and found the discussion to be pretty informative and helpful, so I thought of posting a small query myself. I have been sponsored by my wife who is a permanent resident in Canada. I sent in my application in August 2009 and the Sydney Office started processing it in October 2009. My file was then transferred to the local Scarborough Office in Mar 2010 and it has been there since then. My query is that whats the general timeline for Scarborough CIC Office to process these files and are these timelines case specific?
Also has anyone ordered FOSS notes about these files and are these notes helpful? Anyone in the same boat at present or have passed through the same situation, if you can pass some detailed information please.

Thanks

Was it transfered there without AIP?.

Are you sure you sent the forms to Sydney?

Inland spousal applications only go through Vegreville, so I am confused about the information you post.

If you applied Inland and your file was transferred to your local office without AIP, then I am afraid it means you will be called for an interview to clarify any questions about your sponsorship, CIC may have.

This can take anything from 6 months to 2 years. Someone with more information about the Scarborough office may be able to give you a better time line.
