Email sent. I'll update as soon as I hear back. Hopefully they'll say oh yes we have your file and we love you so much you're almost done and we're sending you a free pony and a sparkly tiara....

Or they'll just tell me they have the file.

E: I told you all I was losing my mind.
hi aminca

Please let me know as soon as u here something from them. I will email them after 26 march, if didn't receive anything....

Looks like my visa officer is on holiday....

Thanks

Here's the answer I got this afternoon:

Your application is in process. We are unable to provide a date when the processing of your application will be complete.

Canadian Consulate General Buffalo


So, I still have no idea when they got the application, but I'm assuming since they said I'm in process they have it. Maybe one day Ecas will say something other than "Application Received"

Hi guys. I got my PPR yesterday. I was so surprised. When I saw the letter come through I groaned thinking they were contacting me because they wanted something else for the application. Hope everyone else goes just as fast.

Hello everyone, I applied under the FAM class via Buffalo, I recently received AOR from Buffalo (March 2012). Does anyone know how long it takes to receive PPR after receiving AOR

SO BASICALLY I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE TIMELINE FROM AOR TO PPR.

I look forward to hearing from someone cos i am tired of this waiting game.

Hello all,

Finally I received my AOR from buffalo today after 2 months and 2 days from file got transferred to buffalo from Mississauga. Little relief that they have my file. I was assuming they have lost it somewhere. I didn't see anybody got so long to receive AOR.

Now next step is ecas showing in process. How long that will take no idea..


Share ur experience and timeline in getting process after receiving AOR from buffalo.

Thanks
Nsr

Unfortunately it widely varies. I don't really think there is an accurate timeline. Some people have been waiting over a year. Others receive PPR in 6 months total. You can look at this spreadsheet for Buffalo that some of the members of this forum maintain, for an idea: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AshtbJBRA_XjdFN3aHBiTDNpMEZFVmoxRnc0ZWZBY2c&authkey=CLSRv0c#gid=0

The waiting does stink! :D
