Hi Mike, I believe you are mostly correct in your assumptions. I would like to comment on a few things: (1) When your Visa is granted and they give you your Visa "passport sticker". My understanding is that it is a one-time use item. When your wife lands in Canada with the Visa sticker in...

Congrats! I hope it's great news for you and your family! -Lys

I'm rooting for you too Sauga! *crosses fingers* -Lys

Congrats giggles and sbwv09 on getting your PPR (slightly belated as I've been away from the forums for a little bit). With regards to pictures, the PPR e-mail Buffalo sent us asked for four (4) pictures but the links on the website asked for three (3). So we had four photos made up. When I...

sbwv09: Do you receive a paper in addition to the electronic AOR you received by e-mail? I thought it was one or the other. ... but then how would you get your stickers? Can anyone with more experience clarify? -Lys

Buffalo asked us for three (3) additional photos. I guess it depends on the office as to what they require. -Lys

I have mixed feelings about contacting them by e-mail. I think it is good for the applicant to contact them at least once, thereby giving them permission to respond to you in future by e-mail (instead of by post which seems horribly inefficient). I will say that I sent Buffalo an e-mail on...

Vervain: We received the Passport Request via e-mail this morning. I went into more detail over the last week on the Buffalo thread, but in summary: -We have a very straight forward application (in my opinion at least) -We are Canadian/American citizens -Neither of us is naturalized (i.e. we...

We were, I think understandably so, worried when our e-Cas changed to "Decision Made" on August 16th when we had only received our AOR from Buffalo on August 6th. It all worked out in the end. Thank you again to everyone for your congratulations. I can hardly believe it myself. I've spent...

Thank you for posting on my behalf! No thunder stolen at all! I just asked for next Thursday off from work so that I can drive my husband's passport down in person. We are both very excited as well. Thank you again to all on this forum for your help, advice and support through this process...

I take back my *rant* from yesterday. We received a passport request via e-mail this morning. :D -Lys

I am just feeling a bit frustrated. *begin rant* I am fully prepared to wait however long it takes to go through this. Don't get me wrong, I would like this over and done with as quickly as possible so that we can get on with the rest of our lives. However I do understand that our cases take...

I received another e-mail from Buffalo today: Thank you for your enquiry. Your message has been re-forwarded to the processing team. As indicated on our website, you can expect a reply within 28 business days. However, we will not respond to your enquiry if the application is within normal...

I contacted the call centre and they told me the following: -I have to wait for the letter -The call centre cannot see any information in the visa offices, only in the Canada portion of the application -The call centre cannot have the letter re-sent -If I want the letter re-sent I have to...

Still waiting for the letter from Buffalo. :'( My husband and I are at wits end about now. They must have sent the letter by donkey or something. Do you think calling the call-centre will help? -Lys

That is wonderful news! Best of luck to you both in your new Canadian life! -Lys

Congratulations! -Lys

Nothing in the mail. Hopefully Buffalo will email us on Monday. -Lys

Actually, this e-mail was in addition to the automated response we got soon after our original e-mail was sent. We sent the e-mail yesterday around lunch, I think. We got the other reply that I posted before early this morning. I'm hoping the "processing team" will get a chance to look at our...

Oh! I just noticed that my rating is "-2". That's not very encouraging :'(
