Your source of information please? I had not been asked or at least it wasn't being specified that an old passport would also be required along with the new one when I received the PPR.

Anyone received passport yet? Please update.

Agree with Nano. Looks like it's only for Medical Examination. There is general instruction for PCC only if they'd asked for it but since they haven't asked for it, no need to worry.

Dear Pandora...I sent my query on June 4th and received reply on June 5th. The VO is not closed per se. They are still processing pending PPRs. Definitely, they are not accepting any new applications. There is still some time before they actually lock down their facility. I was told by the...

If you are in US, the consulate will only accept USPS Express Pre-paid envelope. Envelope size 12"x9". I did send my passports on 29th May this year to the Buffalo office along with a USPS pre-paid envelope. I haven't received the passports back. If you choose NOT to send a pre-paid label...

Salsa...just FYI.. the reply I received via email from the Buffalo VO regarding my passport query clearly stated that the passport is USUALLY returned within 15 business days. This tells me that there could be delays beyond 15 days. Having said that, I truly hope that you receive your passport soon.

Like Trick, they also asked me for the updated FBI certificate along with Medical Request. However,they didn't ask for proof of funds.

When did you send your application? They don't even tell that the name is in database until it's at least 4 weeks after receiving your application. When I called them before 4 weeks, they declined to provide any information. They won't tell you anything before 4 weeks even if it's in their...

Narain. While I second with Nurhia's timeline details. I respectfully disagree and highly doubt that including a deadline letter will do any good to you or help expedite your request. When FBI was processing my application (And it happened twice. Once in the beginning of the application...

You can send an email to Buffalo Visa office at "re-buffalo-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca" email address. Don't forget to include your File Number in the Subject line. Hope it helps!

Dear Danhass, it makes sense. I'll read about "Automatic Re-Validation" today after work. I'll post more questions if I couldn't figure out how it works :-) Thank you for the hint again! Your response is much appreciated!

Dear Danhass...very useful information indeed. Thank you for sharing! I am on H1B as well. Mine is not expired but my 6th year will expire next year by the end of first quarter. You mentioned that you travelled on an expired visa. I have a different situation. I came to US on L1B and then...

Tennesseean....thanks for the hint. I too called Canadian consulate today and pressed Option 7 (for general inquiry). The lady I spoke with said that as long as the passports were received on or before 31st May, the Buffalo office will take care of them. This is a big relief for me because I was...

The day when the letter was issued...i.e. 15th May

JamesB...you can write the date using any ball point pen at the back of the photograph. Make sure you don't write the date in the middle of the pic (on the backside of course). This can leave a permanent impression on the actual picture. Write on the top of the backside, almost across the...

Hello ihabkal, I hope that's the case. I haven't seen any note anywhere on Buffalo VO's website that would suggest that they'll continue to process such requests post VO closure. I have sent them a general inquiry. Lets see if they respond back. The sad part is that there is no direct way to...

I mailed my passports via FedEx to Buffalo VO on 29th May. The package got delivered on 31st May. I came to know about VO closure on 30th May. I am not sure whether my passport will still be stamped at Buffalo VO or they'll return the package to me or transfer it to Detroit VO on their own. I am...

Dear Fellow Members, I am surprised to know that the visa office is closed (I knew it was going to be closed but didn't expect the sudden death this way). I live in US and I mailed my - along with my family members - passport yesterday to Buffalo visa office. I had checked the VO website...
