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

    I think I'll plan to do an Inland landing. But really depends on expiry dates for COPR and waiting time to book an appointment. As I see it I have 3 options (in order of preference) 1) INLAND depending on time taken to book an appointment 2) Rent a car and drive to North Portal. But its...

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

    I applied for notes for the first and only time 27th Nov. Still awaiting reply, but the requirement under the privacy act is 30 Days - so nothing wrong there. Cannot comment on the results. However I found page 16 of this forum most helpful. Should help you if you decide to go that route...

    Detroit Timeline for Stamping visa after PPR

    As far as I can tell from the link in the passport request. You can send to either Detroit or Windsor. It should make little difference which. But if you want to use a commercial courrier and have tracking information then it has to be Detroit from the link supplied in ppr

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

    Hi Simu789 I cannot tell you how to proceed, but you have 4 options. Depending on your personal feelings you can 1) Do nothing. Your passport request will come. The less pressure you put on the system the more the office can concentrate on processing all cases (including yours). 2) You are...

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

    I am wondering - can we calculate how many PPR requests we would expect to see each week. From this forum I hear about 9000 PR applications were transferred. Remember this is only PR applicants transferred from Buffalo, not recent direct applications to CPP-O. It is expected to take about 1...

    Well it (cycling to work in the snow) teaches calm concentration and perfects a sense of balance - the absolute qualities that are required for this forum. MM_Sask “Zen and the (Canadian) art of (winter) bicycle maintenance” (with apologies to Mr. Pirsig)

    Well to be precice cycled 30% of the way in and pushed the bike the other 70%. :-) However I have since learned that the first thing that gets cleared is the Meewasin Valley Trail (Walking : Cycling) evenbefore the roads get cleared. so I can cycle all the way now. There is a lesson for us...

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

    Don't want to get into too much detail here but... I got what sounds like a pretty similar last two paragraphs. What I believe is happening, on a positive note, is that they have individually looked at out files (advanced stage.. medicals extended). Then depending what they find, they put the...

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

    Hi Sharuu Pretty much the the exact same that I got on 29th Nov - see page 284. Seems to be the general wording they're sending out. But hopeful nonetheless. Good luck to you, you deserve it. On another note from the forum - my general feeling is that contacting MPs does slow things down...

    Hi Sharuu I really hope your MP is wrong, That's tough... and you're in the queue way ahead of most folk. And you've done so much for this forum. I suspect/hope he asked the wrong question and got the timeline for a new application. (Please let it be so !) As it may be relevant I'll copy a...

    E-mail referred to above sent 6th Nov. Reply received 29th Nov It also said on a positive note: That medicals would be extended to allow for the delay and gave some idea of expected times for my case. weeks to months. So if that is typical for others then there is good news around the...

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

    From xse2573 I make no claim that processing has not started on my case. I only know that I have heard nothing since my medicals were received November 2011. It may be that my case is complicated and they are working feverishly to fix the problem It may be taht there has been a missed...
