My IRCC account still says that my application is in process. Haven't been told about ECAS at all? Is that a different site?
When I call them they just tell me that the Vancouver VO will contact me for virtual landing.

my lawyer has asked me to send my passport to Ottawa office so we sent it.
The letter from the home visa office indicated that if applicant is already in Canada and will stay in Canada for 3 months to send the passport to Ottawa. Was that not indicated in your letter? Given that you ended up sending your pp to Ottawa, did you get a letter for virtual landing?

File transfer to Etobicoke before DM... Anyone recently got this? Before COVID, we landed in persona and everything was transferred to local office for either landing or interview... now I hear this is not the case... I may need to create a new thread....

FYI - your file being transferred to Etobicoke indicates IRCC has concerns that your relationship is not genuine or has other serious concerns about your application. This has always been why files are transferred to Etobicoke (even pre-COVID).I would order your GCMS notes to see what they are specifically worried about. Unfortunately this also means you're almost certainly in for significantly longer processing times. Do join the discussions in the main Etobicoke thread (I provided you with the link in your other post). Good luck.

I CALLED IRCC AND THEY SAID THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE... BUT NOBODY KNOWS THEIR LEFT FOOT FROM THEIR RIGHT FOOT

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY... I AM NOT GONNA REALLY WORRY CAUSE WE SENT IN AMPLE PROOF AND KNOW WHAT OUR POSSIBLE "RED FLAGS" ARE

HAS EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD WAITED LONG?

DIDNT ETOBICOKE DO LANDING INTERVIEWS PRE-COVID? I THOUGHT THEY DID, BUT MAYBE I AM WRONG....

If your application has been sent to the Etobicoke office pre-AIP, that means they have concerns with your application and that your application is going to undergo additional reviews. This has been the process for many years now. Good luck and hope the processing is fast.
