What do you mean, did you get a bank draft?...or personal draft (this is not allowed). I recommend to put name and file # at the back of the draft..
I got a bank draft from the bank! like how i paid my processing fee. I also added a coverletter which i forgot to sign uuhh!! hopefully this doesnt become an issue. I did add the 2 stickers though (pnp & cic bar tag)

@procan
Any updates for you guys? Nothing for me so far. CAIPS notes said my bring forward date is April 1st so I'm not expecting much anytime before that. I even emailed them a while back, no reply yet.

@Chigirl
I remember your bring forward date was March 1st, any progress?

Hi all,

I am back. Things back home are not going great and hence I totally forgot that I have applied for Canadian Immigration!! NO, I have not received anything yet. I have realized that there are always worse thing that can happen in life other than 'waiting too long' for an email...

SUPERBOY - Thanks buddy for checking on me. You are an awesome buddy. I am assuming you are almost living in your mailbox for a mail to arrive. hehe.

This Friday, the 18th will be exactly a year since Buffalo has received my application and I am hoping to get something by Friday... (hang on, didnt I say same thing for February! hehe).

Congratulations to all others who got their PPR.

Winnipeg - Sorry to hear that your BFD is April 1, 2011 - That sucks. Nothing from my side. I will email them this Friday. from what I am seeing is that - People are receiving PPR a day or two or three days before their 1 year anniversary since Buffalo has received their application, especially 4mfamily's and Superboy's case..... if that applies to me than this week should be it...WHO knows, I might be in your case and Buffalo has my BFD as August 1, 2099! hehe. I will keep you posted. My last correspondence was Feb 10, and their reply was: Your application is in que for final review with the IO....

Chigirl - Any updates girl? Will you email them soon?

Congratulations again.

Hello Sept15....Sorry to hear that things are not going too well on your home front. I hope it gets sorted out.

Unfortunately, no updates from my side. I did send them an email last week, and they said it was in que for final review. But, not sure how long this final review is supposed to be.
