Really? What makes you say so? :)
Thinking logically.. You applied in feb and got AOR in April - your next bring forward date will be based on April. The transferred 2011 applicants have their files transferred around July, and they have not started reviewing their cases even. So, you are ahead of us in the queue. More so, if you look 2012 applicants have started getting PPR while we are waiting to hear back from Ottawa!

Good for you .. sad for us!

I should get my GCMS after one week, I emailed buffalo early Jun, got an automatic reply said all files transferred to Ottawa, then 3 days latter I emailed Ottawa to ask about my status, got an answer after 3days said we will contact you in your due date. Then the last email I sent to them was last month to ask to for an update, they replied back said we can't give you any updates...

Just going by my personal experience, my due date got changed to the date they received the file at Ottawa, which was 1 month back. So, my due date has already been 1 month ago! However, the due date for each section remains 1 year from AOR...

I paid the 1050/1100 CAD altogether at the time of application submission ( I think this includes application and RPRF fee).

Re: BUFFALO APPLICANTS - File transferred to other VO due to Buffalo closing dow

Looks like files transferred to other visa offices have started getting PPR, I wonder what takes Ottawa so long to start processing or they will not start processing until sept 1 :-\
