Hiprofessional 1 said:Hi mainimehta, actually FSW 2 is supposed to be faster than 1 and 3, at least that is what some applicants under that category claimed with other visa offices like london. They received a letter from london visa office stating that their applications might be processed faster than the usual manner and asking them for more documents.
However, i have not seen any Buffalo applicant under category 2 received such a letter ! so i guess that Buffalo does not consider any difference between the three categories, they are just super slow office.
regarding your temporary residence status" the work permit", unfortunatly you will have to find your own way to extend the status in canada, they are not going to give you any exceptions in that regard(means they will not extend your stay in canada as a worker just because you have a PR application in Buffalo, you will have to meet the requirments for the renewal, and another bad thing in your situation is that they are asking applicants under category 2 to have their work permits valid at the time of their application and at the time of the visa issuance (i do n't know why did they change it this way to make it more difficult !).
Good luck.
I think what you just explained ,nobody cud feel dat more than me ryte now..
im going thru d same situation,and it is so hard to get the work permit extended,i might have to follow study permit soon..
but it is such an agony to be in such a state,,trust me guys,,i really can feel the pressure..
but i guess thats how it is suppose to be,the buffalo timeline is so long,,and my work permit is almost done..
it all seems like a dark end,,LMO rejected once..still trying for it second time..
the only hope i c now is p.r...
so all i cud say is neva give up ,dats all i have in my mind ryte now...
FSw2 luks like a sucessfull rate but jus like a snail from buffalo...and indirectly this is hitting professional life also..
Well in end
WIsh luck to every candidate for the canadian p.r from any part of the world..
