    BUFFALO APPLICANTS - File transferred to other VO due to Buffalo closing down

    Hi Amol, The form you need to fill out is IMM5563 -- there's a link to it on CIC here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5563.asp You can fill out the form, scan it in, and send it to the email address specified on the form. Usually you will receive a response within 30...

    BUFFALO APPLICANTS - File transferred to other VO due to Buffalo closing down

    Thanks again QSW-111. I would guess that timeline applies generally to PNP (and possibly also CEC) applicants. Also great to hear that only a small number of medical redos will be required. It's amazing the variability in responses we get from CIC from our email inquiries, ranging from no...

    BUFFALO APPLICANTS - File transferred to other VO due to Buffalo closing down

    Welcome to the forum -- your situation matches the majority of the rest of use here (although the dates differ between cases) and some don't even show 'in process' yet. Based on QSW-111's post above, you should receive a status update by March 31st, 2013. If you haven't already, you may want...

    BUFFALO APPLICANTS - File transferred to other VO due to Buffalo closing down

    Sharing information like this is one of the things that makes this forum such a great resource -- thanks QSW-111 for posting this. If only CIC would share this more openly, it would make this process so much clearer. I'm hoping that 'review date' = 'assigned to an officer'. For applicants...

    I agree with nima514. It's like we're sitting on the tarmac on a delayed flight, but we keep getting bumped for takeoff because flights scheduled for later departure can still contribute to better 'on-time' statistics, and make the airport (CIC), and its administration, look less dysfunctional...

    My dates and situation match both of yours. The fact that we haven't even been assigned to an officer is particularly discouraging.

    BUFFALO APPLICANTS - File transferred to other VO due to Buffalo closing down

    The information I have from my MP matches nima514's assessment. I sure wish CIC would be more clear on how they are sequencing things, however I suspect there was no structure in the transition to Ottawa and they are randomly going through the applications, which seems to match the pattern of...

    Congrats ronair! My timeline is also almost exactly the same as yours. Did you check/see any changes in your ECAS status at all recently?

    Yep -- April 2011, still only 'app received'. Good to see a PPR posted to the forum though -- congrats!

    Congratulations Des! Would you mind sharing which visa office they asked you to send your passport to? (It seems like it's usually Detroit these days)

    BUFFALO APPLICANTS - File transferred to other VO due to Buffalo closing down

    Hi Everyone, What a great thread full of supportive comments and useful information - I wish I would have found it long before I did. It's too bad we have been brought into contact through such a difficult and unfair situation, however it really does help to pull together and share ideas, cic...
