First of all...YEAHHHH!!! Got my PPR by email last week! 
I was part of the Sept 2011 family class filers who who've been left in limbo with the Buffalo transfer fiasco. From what I'm seeing on the timelines, it looks like up to 60 days or so from PPR to visa/COPR in hand. Thank the lord!
Okay.....about a week ago, I went to the CPP-O page on the CIC website and found this in the FAQ section...CIC's burn-down plan for the backlog! Somebody is keeping this current because what you see below is from today while last week, it still had a future completion date for the pre-Sept 1 provincial nominees (complete by March 1 if I recall).
So WOO-HOO! The family cases are done and now it's just PPR's and getting out the visas!
I'm not allowed to post URL's but just go to the page that shows processing time by visa offices, then click on CPP-O, then FAQ's.
Q: I applied to the Canadian Visa Office in Buffalo, New York. This office closed on May 29, 2012. What has happened to my file?
