More closures

[blondie1216]

If I am reading correctly, 19 more offices are closing.



19 Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) local offices are closed as of June 1, 2012. In addition, front counter services will be eliminated at the remaining open offices.

counter services will be eliminated at the remaining open offices.

Offices at the following locations are now closed: Kelowna, Nanaimo, Prince George, Victoria, Lethbridge, Regina, Barrie, Kingston, Oshawa, Sault Ste-Marie, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Gatineau, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivieres, Saint John, Moncton, and Charlottetown.

Individuals wishing to receive services from the remaining open offices can only do so by appointment. Signs have been posted at all offices inviting individuals to access CIC services through the CIC website or by contacting CIC’s call centre.

As of June 1, 2012, new applications that would normally be sent to an office that is now closed will be referred according to the table below:


Please note that the CIC in Moncton will continue to receive and process files until October 2012 while remaining fully closed to the public. In October 2012, all processing will be transferred to CIC Fredericton.


So does this affect us who have already put our applications in? What does this mean?

These are CIC's offices in Canada, the Kingston referred to is not KG in Jamaica. This affects Inland applicants, not Outland ones.
