I have sent the copies of passport for Confirmation of PR on May, 09 2012 and Buffalo received the copies of my passport on May 11, 2012. I have not yet received my COPR yet. It is 30 days. I have sent an email last week and the reply said it is in the line for processing and it usually take up to 15 days to return, but it is more than 15 days. Does anyone has an idea how it would take to get the COPR?
Please help.

Buffalo officially closed already but there are people there finishing things up (some folks on the family side got their CoPRs mailed to them today from Buffalo) so they should toward the package with your application and forward it if necessary. Keep your signature confirmation carefully since they are doing so much, in so little time that mistakes seem to be happening at higher frequency (e.g., typos on CoPRs).
Hi OhCanadiana, I did medical check and sent the money order and some other supporting documents to Buffalo office on the last week of their opening but they returned this package back to me. They also sent me two pages which listed what should do for different applicants. For me, the following is useful: All other applications for permanent residence have been transferred to the Case processing pilot office in Ottawa. Please allow 60 days prior to contacting CPP Ottawa for additional information. So what should I do? I should resent this package to Ottawa, right? Is there any time limit? Should I sent them within 60days? Thank you very much! I would be appreciated!!!!!

Yes, send the documents to CPC-O now instead of Buffalo. Don't delay because it will just delay your application. Don't contact them for further info means don't email them (not don't mail the letter :))

OhCanadiana, thank you very much for your fast reply! Very helpful!

More, I check the address of CPP-Ottawa

Regular mail:
CPP – Ottawa
P. O. Box 9640
Ottawa, ON, K1A 0C1
Or by courier:
CPP – Ottawa
Temporary Resident Visa Section
365 Laurier Avenue West
Ottawa, ON K1A 1L1

Both of the above address work? right? Thank you very much for your great help!

I am not sure.. that Ottawa office will accept Landing fee...!! usually it will be send to the Visa Office outside Canada.. also when you get passport request it will be in Detroit, LA or Seattle so we can send Landing fee with passport request i believe.

There seems to be a general 'pause' at CPP-O. No PPRs seem to have come through since the move.
