    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I agree especially if you look at January's spreadsheet, people from Ghana have gotten their PPR and every other country. I believe this has to be addressed systematically, and I like the way people pointed out Sparkle's spreadsheet. Data does have power. My prayers and best wishes are with...

    Thread for December 2010 Applicants

    I worked 16 hours today, but in between places I treated myself to a nice dinner. I can't wait to see my son and wife that will be a celebration just to see them. I will stay and hoping that the rest of you guys will be getting ppr's soon. Hopefully this ppr will be a harbinger for good...

    Thread for December 2010 Applicants

    I received my PPR today, and hopefully others will too. I think this pressure from everyone had a bearing on my case, and I hope that Buffalo responds to everyone here. I am sure it is good that someone else made it through from the december thread. Hopefully the next one will be you. Thanks...

    Thanks doctorkb So I will probably move to be with my family in Toronto. I would advise against using that terminology. You are going to visit your family in Toronto... that's what the border guards want to hear. I believe others on this thread have said that they intended to wait out the...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    So I will probably move to be with my family in Toronto. I have a few questions for people that have done this. It is good to hear that people at the borders are good about this from peoples responses. 1) Do people just forward their mail to Canada, or do you inform CIC that you are moving...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    The data from Sparkle's spreadsheet is there for all of us to see. At the November 20th date these individuals have not had any movement. The four people that received the ppr after this were quackingaspen, fleetingdasein, and then quickly followed by KazinAz within two weeks. What is not...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    That is great news Amaranth, I firmly believe this is a system issue, and has to be addressed by everyone as such and hopefully she will get back to us with some answers. If we address it individually, I think we will get my answer of check back with us in the fall. That way everyone will have...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Yeah, I really feel for Rinnerz, and hope that she is the first person who gets the PPR. It appears that they lost her UAE police report, and she was stuck in our group that has seen almost no movement for the last 6 months. Hopefully, it will be quick for her, and she can be with her loved...

    First, congrats palamr that is wonderful news and hopefully we will have more. @ people - I looked on the cic website and it appears that fsw processing time is 14 months which is down from something like 49 months from a few years previous. Which is good news, and from what I...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I posted most of this from the December thread, but thought it would help the larger community help piece what this process looks like beneath the surface. Let me preface this by saying that I am not an immigration expert, and just a member like everyone here, but I found this helpful to me...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    Yeah, that is the one, and I am not an expert in Canadian politics, but an MP from Alberta - Jason Kenney(I believe) runs CIC. I don't think that it changes your place in line or queue as they say in Canada b/c their is a law against it. However, what I think it does is alert them if you put...

    that is where our MP is from, and his name was Bob .....??? I don't remember, but was very helpful, and they have dedicated people for such a job. I think if people write to them saying something is wrong with the post November group then they may be able to inquire about it, especially before...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    three days, and they said that they would help, and were very nice. CIC responded to them immediately, and I think that causes them to look at your file which is good. They also told me not to email them after I made contact with the MP, and they would contact CIC. btw - it was great to see...
