    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    This seems to be another of CIC's great inconsistencies... Some people get their photos and other stuff back, but more often than not, nothing is returned. I'd say this is a good thing for you. Let's hope this means your PPR will be on it's way soon! :D

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Sometimes it seems like ECAS itself is one massive glitch :P I was hoping to see more progress too. Fingers crossed that we see a lot more this week! :)

    It's most likely this. I do know it's the only crossing in WNY/S.Ontario that doesn't allow commercial vehicles. The view is much better than the Peace Bridge too... Rainbow goes right over the gorge, with a lovely view of the Falls ;D (Why did I never become a tour guide? Haha!) **Edited to...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I'm hoping that since a couple people got "in process" before the weekend, we will see a lot more this week and leading up to the shut down... But who knows. As always, the CIC is consistently inconsistent! ::)

    Based on Sparkle's spreadsheet, I have palamr on one side of me and moonpie on the other... Fingers and toes crossed that I hear something very soon! :D FINALLY some progress (and excitement!) :P

    Yay! You and I have the same transfer & AOR dates, so this gives me hope! Thanks for sharing this ;D

    Yeah, I saw that last night too. Shouldn't have checked the forums before I went to bed. Being massively annoyed and frustrated does not make for pleasant sleep.

    From the Buffalo VO, or elsewhere? I would imagine the Outland Buffalo thread would be on fire right now if they finally started moving again... Still looks (mostly) dead to me... ???

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Hmm... good point. I would hope that the PR apps would be a big part of the eliminating of the backlog. I will stubbornly cling to this hope. ;D

    Heh, I actually just commented on this in the other forum. Hopefully this means we will see things moving quickly soon :)

    Happy Friday the 13th! Will today be the day we're lucky enough to see some "In Process" posts? (I'm not holding my breath, but fingers crossed anyway!) :P

    Thread for December 2010 Applicants

    Unfortunately, I have to return to Western NY this weekend for various reasons... Shall I poke Buffalo with a stick on my way through? ::) I was really hoping to have all this done by now, so I could just land in early June (based on other people's timelines... Silly of me to compare, I know.)...

    Nothing here either. It's beyond ridiculous now.

    "Has your sponsor visited you" question

    Definitely still a visit. I checked "yes" and explained it all. I was just a little worried since we had NO physical proof of these visits. I'm not sure if they do cross check, but if they do, cross checking 7 years of visits will keep them busy! ;)

    "Has your sponsor visited you" question

    I had trouble with these questions too. The problem for my husband and I is that we have NO real proof of travel for visits. We live in border cities (me near Buffalo, NY and him first near Hamilton, Ontario then Toronto. Never more than 2 hours apart), so we have always driven back and forth to...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Ooh, Canadian Immigration for Dummies... A certain VO needs a copy of that! ;) ;D :P 8) edit: The call centre could use a few copies too... Then maybe people would get correct answers to their questions. :-X

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Stumpedmom, I'm really sorry about your loss. I hope your son will be ok. :( I feel really bad for whining about it, because I know there are people in much harder situations than mine... I'm just frustrated, lonely, and feeling pretty useless. My life has been on hold for over 4 years now due...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    How long should someone wait to order CAIPS notes? I received my AOR on March 31 (which said they received my application on Jan 26), but my eCAS has not changed to in process yet... Should I order them, or would it be useless at this point? This is getting REALLY frustrating. Last night I had...

    Good morning everyone! I'm hoping for some real movement this week, especially from Buffalo. Fingers crossed! :D (No really. I'm starting to lose my mind. All these delays are driving me crazy!) ::)
