No I am in Toronto. But our file is processing in vancouver... looks like they transferred because of Mississauga office being too busy

how do you know about transferring file? If I am in Montreal and my AIP was sending from Mississauga, will they transfer it to Montreal office? Or how does it work?

I am just guessing about the transfer. And probably if you re in montreal and getting AIP from Mississauga then it could be that they transferred. It depnds onthe load sometimes.

Rest, i read in this forum where few people mentioned about the transfer. That wen they called CIC they got to know about the file being transferred.

Apply for your GCMS notes. The notes will include details on when and why your file was transferred to another office

Hey,
Me and my girlfriend received the same email. Our interview is on 24Oct.
What did they ask you in your interview.
We are really concerned. We did not receive any CoPR and when I last checked with CIC they were processing our background check.
Thanks

I am a July 2017 Principal applicant for Inland Spousal sponsorship for PR from United States
The VO was Vancouver, They said I should receive a landing interview e-mail from Ottawa
Progress was greatly delayed when the panel physician processed the eMedical as an Upfront Medical and coded it as Non EDE when it should have been an IME coded EDE.
In any case.

Does anyone know how long it is taking to get the e-mail from Ottawa now.
Thanks

hey guys i have few questions

this is my time line

Application sent: September 27th, 2017
Application received: September 29th, 2017
AOR received: November 29th, 2017
Called for Medical: April 13th, 2018
Medical Passed: May, 2018
Eligibility Passed: September 11th, 2018
Got at interview letter: October 2nd, 2018

I got an interview letter says We are pleased to advise you that your final determination for permanent residence interview has been scheduled for: October blah blah. but i didn't get a DM letter yet is it normal to get this letter before DM letter?

Also when I applied PR process i applied Open work permit as well but they didn't give me yet
so In this case can i get refund OPW fee?
also when i pay the PR fee they have 2 options
Sponsorship fee ($75), principal applicant processing fee ($475) and right of permanent residence fee ($490) = 1,040$
Sponsor your spouse or partner without right of permanent residence fee
Sponsorship fee ($75) and principal applicant processing fee ($475) = 550$
i accidentally choose both options and paid about 1500$ but i just found out i supposed to choose only first option for 1000$ bill so in this case should i get refund and pay proper amount of money or just leave it?

please let me know thanks
I wish all you guys good luck!
