Applications filed through NS --> Buffalo (Filed from USA)

[jattu1980]

jattu1980, roopa82,
Can you please help me on what you wrote to your visa offices to elicit a response on confirmation of medical results received? I am having a hard time with them. I made a mistake of mentioning e-CAS and these guys instead of responding to my original concern, went on about the e-CAS. While, this is a very standard reply that was used to be given a year back as well, what surprises me is that do they know what they are speaking? How can they claim that e-CAS is only for applications filed within Canada, when e-CAS has continuously been updating on what is going on with the case for applications outside of Canada as well. Are they not trained or are they oblivious to the facts or are they living in a primitive age? Extract of their e-mail reply:

e-Cas is for applications processing within Canada only.

Immigration cases being processed in Visa offices outside Canada use a system different from that used to process similar applications in Canada. As a result, the e-Client Application Status (e-CAS) does not reflect the status of cases being processed in Buffalo.
Do not use the CIC e-Cas on-line change of address system. Your new address will not be downloaded to your file in Buffalo.

Hi Garian,
In my case I had sent both the RPRF and medicals together. Ihad checked with my bank and they told me that he cashiers cheque has not yet been encashed. So I contacted the NY office asking them if everything was oka and were there any issues with the cheque and is that why things are getting delayed? So they responded back by saying that the medicals and fee has been received and made no further indications; so, I assume, everything would be okay on the cheque front.
Just hang in there, these things take time...lately, it has started taking a longer time...hopefully we will get good news soon.

Congratulations nmat !!!

Do you know when the status in e-Cas changed to "Medical results have been received"? In my case this changed in e-Cas on 10-Aug and I am still waiting for PPR from NY.

I did the medicals on 26th June and Ottawa received the docs on July 8th (Fedex). My eCas status changed only in 2nd week of August and I got the PPR dated 09th Sep from NY. I will be sending the PPs today itself.

 

[WaitingForPR_09]

I got my PPR yesterday i.e 13-Sep. I am relieved now. I will send the Passports tomorrow as I need to get 2 additional sets of photographs.
In my case the e-Cas was updated on 10-Aug. It seems that yours and my timelines are quite similar.

@garian....stop worrying.....sometimes they dont want to respond.....
acc 2 me...it doesnt matter...like in your case they received medical so fast.....they will take their time for BCs.....in my case dmp told me that they will send after 4 weeks.... ..you can crosscheck from your dmp and can get the tracking number to confirm if your package is delivered......
i was so worried also....but in my case they encashed my draft after all BCs ...i mean when they were going to finalize my application......
relax...wait for ppr...will be soon

It's kindda strange,when i did my medicals the dmp didn't give me any tracking no.
when i asked for it he said they don't give any,they send bunch of files all together like 20 some...
so iam not sure if anybody ever had the same experience..or is it little unusual...

 

[WaitingForPR_09]

I guess, it varies from DMP to DMP. My DMP gave me the tracking number.

Everyone i know from this forum did get a tracking number,so iam not sure about this..

i will try calling them little after two weeks to know more about the result because i don't see any other way to track it,or else if i can call any other place in canada for it.

Hello,

I received a letter from buffalo office today as follow-
The CIO in sydney requested that you submit your "full" application to our visa office within 120 days from the the date of the letter. Please refer to their letter for complete instructions.
Our office will not accept any additional documents until a new buffalo file number is assigned to your file. Although your application may have been received, due to the volume of mail our office receives daily it is difficult to match these documents to your file. When your application is reviewed and accepted a new file number willl be assigned. Once you receive this file number you may resubmit these documents.
All of your documents are being returned to you in this package. we have not retained a record of these documents in this office.

With reference to letter posted above,

I've received just IELTS score with this letter and none of following original docs
PCC
FBI clearance
transcripts

Any guidance on this ?
My application date - 10- feb 2010
1st AOR from CIO - 30 Mar 2010
Full application sent - 7 Jul 2010

Hi everyone!
I just want to give my updates. I'm very glad about my DMP's immediate sending of my medical results. We had our medicals last Sep 2 (and had my urinalysis re-done last Sep 7). And yesterday, I e-mailed my DMP and asked about my medical status. Just today, he replied saying that everything went fine and gave me the tracking # (UPS). I tracked my medicals thru the UPS website and it has been delivered today. Now, I'm hoping that PPR would come quickly. I'm planning to go on vacation in my home country this December so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll be done by December. God bless to us all!

By the way, my DMP is Dr. Serafin Veramendi in Chicago. I greatly recommend him. ;D

Hi AvayaLenovo,

When did you submit your full docs to Buffalo Office and when did you get your 2nd AOR?

Thanks,

I submitted my full documents Feb10, 2010. But I received my AOR from Buffalo after 2 months --> April 09, 2010. Then after that, I had to wait for another 4 months before they started processing my application (August 2010). But after that, everything came by so quickly. Now, it's a waiting game again for PPR.
