Damodar, when did you sent your last PCC and updated forms to cic(month and date plz)?

I sent my last pcc and updated forms on 14 May 2013, maybe that's why they did not ask for any documents.

I am only asked to bring my Canadian work experience letters on the date of interview

I think you would be fine coz AEO with LMO requirement is a post march 2013 rule, which doesnt apply to you. Tell them, at the time of your application, no LMO was required for AEO. It happens with some people who applied as a FSW2 and still they ask for proof of funds. So, dont panic and explain them gently about your situation.

Hello Guys,

I have got my passport back with Immigration Visa from Ottawa. I will be landing soon.. It took me 3 years and had lovely experience. Good Luck to everyone

 

[bravoo]

Dear All,

I have started working on USA Visa, but I am dam sure that my company in saudi would never allow me to take few days off as I am the only one working on my project, but still I would try if I get the US visa.

I also thinking about the other option of transferring my file to Abu Dabi,

What are the pros and cons for this? Plz suggest and also suppose If I transfer my file to Abu Dabi, would processing resume from the same (interview) stage OR it would be treated as a new file which again will be queued for unlimited time.

bravoo

If anyone is interested in reading about Forgotton of Buffalo. Here is an article I found

BY TOBI COHEN, POSTMEDIA NEWS AUGUST 28, 2013
OTTAWA — The federal government remains confident that the majority of so-called “forgotten” Buffalo immigration applications will be completed by the end of the season as promised even though new figures suggest nearly 40 per cent of the files have yet to be processed.

With just a month to go before summer draws to an end, 3,568 applications remain in the queue, according to the figures obtained by Postmedia News and considered up-to-date as of Aug. 20.

“Most of the files that were transferred from Buffalo to the Ottawa processing office will be completed by the end of summer 2013,” Citizenship and Immigration spokeswoman Sonia Lesage said in an email.

“For the majority of immigration streams, new applications submitted to Ottawa are being processed more quickly than they were during the same time last year in Buffalo.”

Lesage suggested the ongoing strike by foreign service workers will not impact the processing of the remaining Buffalo files. Several foreign visa offices were shut down as a result of the strike and the central processing centre has had to take on some of the burden as a result.

Some 9,417 files, many of them recent university graduates with in-demand skills, were transferred to Ottawa when the government closed the upstate New York visa office in May 2012 after announcing foreign students and workers living in Canada would no longer have to leave the country to renew a visa or apply for permanent residency.

Citizenship and Immigration, however, came under fire in December after antsy applicants — a number of whom had already waited as long as two years for their papers while watching others who applied later get their permanent residency before them — started to complain about delays.

The NDP accused overworked and understaffed citizenship officers of simply forgetting about the boxes of Buffalo files sitting in the corner after the move as many of the applicants hadn’t even received a file number much less been assigned a case worker which meant their applications were still in the very early stages of processing.

The government acknowledged delays of around 15 months at the time and promised the Buffalo files would be completed by the end of summer 2013.

According to the figures released by Citizenship and Immigration, 4,982 Buffalo files have so far been approved, 483 were refused and 384 were withdrawn.

The bulk of files, including the majority of pending files, involve skilled worker and provincial applicants.
