On Friday I received a letter just indicating Buffalo har received our application. So far nothing about the transfer to NY.

My update now says: "We started processing x's application on July 13, 2009. We transferred x's application to the New York office on July 21, 2009. The New York office may contact x. " Nothing has been said about medicals, which we did before sending in the application. Does anyone know if...

Wow that's great news!! Where is the PR application being processed? Mine is in Buffalo, and we haven't heard anything yet.

Mine was received May 26th. I was approved as a sponsor June 24th and the application was sent to Buffalo. Now it says: We started processing XXX's application on July 13, 2009.

If the person being sponsored is already living in Canada, I know we have to leave the country for him to land, but I assume "goods" lists would not be applicable. Can anyone provide any insight?

Wow, that's great. Mine was received May 26th, and I've been approved as a sponsor, but hopefully it will start processing in Buffalo soon!

Is it true what I read that living outside Canada with a Canadian citizen counds towards the 2 years out of 3? That is if my husband (applying for PR) living outside Canada with me (Canadian Citizen) this time would count towards the 2 years?

If we just made a trip to then turn around and re-enter, would you say that's your purpose of your trip to the US? Also, do they only allow "landing" during certain hours?

Hi Dobby, I decided to give CIC a call today to see if they'd tell me the decision, and they did, even gave me my client id and my husband's. So I've been approved to sponsor and our file has been sent to Buffalo! ~Canbrit

Hi Dobby, I checked ecas today (using our receipt #), and I have an update. It says "decision made" for the Sponsorship and that a letter was mailed out June 24th, so I guess in a few days we may hear. Not sure if you will have the same feedback, but may be worth trying! Canbrit

Hi Dobby, The website is updated, they are now processing up to May 25th. Seeing how your application (and mine) was received May 26th, I guess they aren't at our yet. :(

Thanks, Leaon. Actually we asked that the application is processed in Buffalo. Buffalo was not an option for an Interview location, so we selected NYC. Since my husband is already living in Canada with me, to land, does he need to leave the country and then come back?

We have applied outland through Buffalo. One of the questions was for an interview what location we would choose; we put NYC. My question is, to LAND, would that therefore be thorugh NYC as well, or is was that just if there was an interview? I'm just curious about landing if you live in...

Hi Dobby, Our application was received the same day (May 26th) and we haven't had an update yet. It seems from the website they are processing applications received up to the 19th right now, so hopefully it won't be too much longer for us. ~Canbrit

We've already submitted our application, so it's just a question out of curiosity. My husband called CIC to ask about how to organize the documents. In the end we organized it as follows: 1. sponsor forms 2. sponsor supporting documents 3. application forms 4. application supporting documents...

Hi GK, We courriered the package to Mississauga and it was received May 26th. It should go to Buffalo after that. 90 days, wow! Hopefully mine goes through that quickly! I am not able to access on ecas, so good to know  you had a similar issue.

I didn't realize I could look it up with the receipt number. That's great! I assume when it asks for name, date of birth etc.. this refers to the sponsor, not the immigrant? I tried, but it isn't bringing anything back. I guess perhaps it's not in process yet?

Thanks, Gemini13. No, we haven't used a lawyer. So sounds like firts communication will provide us with client id # and we can then track it from there. When they send the client id #, will it be just to say they have received the application?

Hello, We courriered our PR application last Sunday. It's great to finally have it sent off. We our applying outland through the Buffalo office, so I know the applicaiton will later be sent there. When can we first expect to hear about the application? I know in term of timing, it's hard to...

Thanks for your responses, they were helpful. Does anyone know whether all 4 photos being stamped with the photographer and the date will be an issue? I'll make sure we write the name and date of birth on one, only, but now wondering if we need the photos re-taken?
