    Just gotta say... "Buffalonians" is technically correct! (Unless you're talking to my dad. Then we become "Buffalites") 8) 8) 8)

    Sure he is... Carlton is everyone... and we are all Carlton... *has a zen moment* 8) No really, we all need to be as happy as Carlton at some point. :D (forgive me. I'm just slightly crazy right now... I haven't felt this good in a long time! :-[ )

    It's impossible to watch this video without getting ridiculously happy. Any time my sisters are having a bad day, this video gets posted on their facebook walls. Works every time! 8)

    Noooo... But will you accept a *Carlton Dance* compilation instead? www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKlxjbhB9HE (Just imagine a 30-something ginger girl in place of Carlton :P )

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Unfortunately, this seems to be the way most call centres work these days, whether it be government or retail or whatever! ::) Haha, I've seen others say much worse things about the CIC, both on this forum and elsewhere. I would hope they have better things to do than get offended by those...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    We received our forms the day after requesting them. That still blows my mind, considering this IS the CIC we're dealing with ::) At the risk of repeating myself again (and receiving more hate mail today), I really don't understand why paying in full at the bank *might be* delaying my app. I...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I was told we COULD NOT use a prepaid card to pay the fees. Maybe we were informed wrong, or maybe something has changed since then (wouldn't be surprised. It feels like the CIC have changed the whole freaking process since we applied, starting with the computer switch fiasco!) It seems people...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I'm wondering this too. Buffalo gave me 60 days to pay the RPRF (I won't go into this again!). If they really do wait the full 60 days before looking at it, that leaves me with 10 days till my medicals expire... I recall reading somewhere that when new info is received, it is immediately given...

    Worth Reading...

    I totally agree with everything you've posted here. My mind was somewhat blown when I read that they pinched the investors and entrepreneurs, etc. Its completely counter-intuitive to building a strong local and national economy, especially considering the state of the global economy right now...

    Worth Reading...

    This gave me one of those "Dude. Wait... what??" kind of moments: "He wants Canada to accept another 100,000 immigrants every year, arguing a per capita measurement doesn't make sense because the country has so much space." Is Mr. Davies actually referring to PHYSICAL space? Canada is huge...

    Congrats Ellan! Does this mean I'm officially the last December applicant left still in Buffalo? :o

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I did exactly as the guide states: "You have two options to pay fees: 1. Pay your fees online (preferred option). 2. Pay your fees at a financial institution in Canada." We did option 2. EXACTLY as instructed in the guide, ordered the OFFICIAL receipt (IMM5401) and everything. Neither of...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    We've tried that. So far, 3 other MP's have told us that since we're not in their riding, they "can't" help us. I intend to keep looking though. Emailed, faxed, and snail mail. Again, since we paid ALL the fees before we sent the app, I can't wrap my head around why they are asking for it now.

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Looks like it's been a depressing couple of days around here. I was assuming because I got the letter waiving the interview and asking for the RPRF (which I paid before submitting the app!... I know I keep repeating myself on this point, but dammit, I PAID! Why are they asking for it??) I was...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    buffalo-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca (right from Buffalo's own website) The one on the letter was bfalo-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca. The copy of the receipt I tried to send to that one kept bouncing back as undeliverable, no such address, blah blah. I doubt you'll get a response. Buffalo...
