Wrong Immigration Office on application

Hello I need some help.

I recently received the AOR from CIO in Nova Scotia. However, I just realized that I listed Kingston, Jamaica as the immigration processing office and that was a mistake. I applied under the CEC class and I applied within Canada. I should have listed CPP-O as the office for processing. In the AOR they said that they had forwarded my application to "a visa office" with no indication of which office. I'm wondering if they sent my application to CPP-O due to the fact that I applied within Canada...or did they send it to the office in Kingston Jamaica (this is the office that would process my application had I applied outside of Canada). If they did in fact send it to Kingston...what should I do?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you applied from within Canada it will go to CPP-O irrespective of what you requested.

Hi, I had the same issue when I applied. I put the office where they process PRs from my country, when I applied within Canada.
I recently got GCMS notes to see the behind the scenes of my application.
The visa officer crossed out the office I put and wrote "CPR"
So they forward your application where it should go.
Somebody did the same thing and wrote an email to immigration, they replied saying that all applications are forwarded to ottawa no matter what you put, if you're in canada

Hello guys! Thank you so much for your replies! I received an email from an officer in Ottawa who confirmed that my application was being processed at the Ottawa office. So I'm relieved!
