Yes, thats very true ! they seem to be working hard to keep up the reputation.

Once Buffalo was the fastest immigration processing centre and due to back-log lost its reputation and became the slowest for a while !

Hope to get the MR's soon !

Good luck guys ! I think this thread has people with close timelines !

Hi folks,
I just want to keep in touch. My e case updated and showed that my file was transferred to NY. I found in other threats that you can do the medicals in advance and I think to do so but I am looking for the forms as I tried to find them on the cic website but cannot find them for SKILLED WORKER class.
While going through different profiles in this forum I found a guy that got the medicals request only two weeks after his file transfer from Buffalo, so that may bring some confident to your hearts.
Thanks,
Ali

Hi Ali, My understanding is if your case has already in IN PROCESS and then file transfered. Then you can go ahead for medical. But if it has not reviewed yet then wait for some time. Any way those did medical in Advance they have received RPRF they did not get the PP request with RPRF. this shows that they will take their time.

Here are my timelines:
Initial application to CIO: December 9 ,2009
Application sent to Buffalo: Februar18, 2009
Buffalo AOR: April 21, 2010
File transfer to Detroit: Octob5er, 2011
Letter from Detroit:October18,2011:Good morning.
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
We have now completed the initial assessment of your application, and expect to finalize your application without a personal interview. While an interview does not appear necessary at this time, we reserve the right to call you to an interview, should this become necessary at some future stage in processing.
This message contains important information regarding the continued processing of your application.
No additional documents are required at this time.
Medical forms and instructions will be mailed to you within the next several weeks. Do not enquire if you do not receive them immediately. Please proceed with your medical examinations as soon as possible after you have received the forms and provide proof that you have completed the medical examinations. Do not undergo medical examination until you have received the forms.
Right of Permanent Residence Fee
Every principal applicant, spouse or common law partner is required to pay a Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF).
The amount of the RPRF is $490.00 CAD (or $490.00 USD) .
If you have not already paid the RPRF, you may do so at this time.
The RPRF must be submitted in the form of a money order, certified cheque or bank draft payable to the "Canadian Consulate General".
The RPRF will be refunded if for any reason you do not immigrate to Canada.
Change of address
It is imperative that you inform the Detroit office of any change in your mailing address.
Note: Do not use the CIC e-Cas on-line Change of address system. Your new address will not be downloaded to your file in Detroit.
Change in family status
You must notify us of any birth, marriage, engagement, divorce, death, or any other significant change in your marital or family composition. You can do so by email, mail or fax. Failure to advise us of these changes could result in delays in processing and possible refusal of your application.
We do not confirm receipt of mail or faxes. Please send information only once. Do not email, fax and mail the same information.
