Outland application staying in Mississauga instead of Ottawa

[jsellars86]

Hi All,

I recently received an email from CIC that said our family class application will processed in Mississauga, is that a good or bad thing? I've previously read that all U.S. based outland application go to Ottawa, so am kinda confused if this is a positive or negative message. Our application is very straightforward, Canadian citizen sponsoring wife with no kids.

Thanks for any input!

There seems to have been a large tranche of files that have been transferred to Mississauga (from both London and Ottawa). They last did this a couple of years ago when the other visa offices presumably got bogged down - possibly no surprise it is peak holiday season too.

Good or bad? Who knows, but at least they are taking action rather than let them sit in a queue.

I think I read in some thread this morning that some one got DM with the file being sent back to Mississauga. May be its not a bad thing.
