    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    My wife is the sponsor and I log into ecas using her details and the client ID. ECAS says that my application has been received in Buffalo on June 13th. This update took about 10 days after my wife received the email from CIC confirming she was approved as sponsor. I hope this helps

    The next correspondence typically is with you. Mississauga would be sending a confirmation that you have been approved as sponsor. The change of address will be important to notify to the canadian embassy in Pakistan (assuming that is the VO processing your husband's visa) but may be it is OK to...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Jayde, Reading your post it sounded like your husband has decided to move to canada before getting the PR. I am in a similar situation, my wife and child are already in canada and I am waiting for my PR to come before moving. IF I decide to move before getting the PR, how do you inform the...

    Buffalo,NY - PPR Question

    1) the ppr is from the visa office, which is buffalo....that means the pp should be send there. You have application was outbound 2) Not sure about that but my guess would be that the pp will be returned to the US mailing address you provided 3) Be safe and use courier...given you are sending...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    What I dont understand is what kind of security check does the visa office look for from foreign government. Our application includes criminal background check from all the countries that we have lived for more than 6 months after the age of 18. In my case, I had UK, Switzerland and US. My...

    What is CAIPS? Can you please explain? I feel for you, I can imagine how annoyed you must be....trying to get the FBI clearance took me nearly two months.

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    My recommendation would be to send just one envelope...I think they look at all the documents, which means they will have to open everything at once. Just organise the paper work so that it is in three different sections the way you want it. Again this is just my opinion...not sure if there is...

    It depends on the country...I live in US but needed criminal record clearance from UK and Switzerland because I have lived there for more than 6 months since the age of 18. I was able to order this for the US, did not have to go to the country. I am assuming you can do the same from Canada

    I'm South African but being asked for FBI clearance certificate?!?!

    Just make sure your fingerprints are taken according to the FBI standards. The reason I say that is because my finger prints got rejected the first time. I had to resend before getting the all clear, because of the resending....this process took nearly 60 days to be completed.

    Just checked the CIC website...it looks like they did not make much progress this week. The process time pushed up to 41 days and applications currently being processed are from Apr 29. This is a bit of reversal from the progress they made from last week

    Inter-company transfer

    So it sounds like I should be getting the visa at PoE but this depends on the IO.... My wife is not feeling well and that is why we are moving...if I wait for the spousal approval then we could be waiting for another 6 to 12 months (buffalo seem to moving very slowly). I have spoken to my...

    Inter-company transfer

    This is great...but one additional question, how does the work permit differ under the general provision to a work permit by LMO.
