superboy,

agree, I am expecting too. seeing Jovan's news, I have some hopes now, because at least people received IA and their files are still in Buffalo, it means they still have some movement.

4mfamily and super boy...we have similar timelines and we three got the IA in Nov 2010. Like Superboy my RPRF was received Dec 28 and cashed first week of January. I have a feeling that before the end of Feb 2011, we should get our PPR. Have you folks sent any Status Updates. I also plan to send CAIPS on March 1, 2011, if I did not receive PPR by then....

Sept 15, good planning! are you already in Canada? we are in New Brunswick already, my hubny has work permit.

Hey guys! So its seems that IA is a good thing, or maybe the last thing you hear before they request your passport, am I right?
Here is our case.
We got nominated from Quebec July-23
Sent application to Buffalo Aug-11
AOR and medicals were dated Nov-08, but there was mistake in our address so they got delayed and we received them mid Dec
Along with them there was another envelope with the IA dated Dec-13, but our excitement about the medicals totally blinded us, so we did not read carefully what the IA said.... So yesterday something pushed me to open and read once again everything carefully and I saw it in the IA they said if we havent paid the RPRF now its time to do so..... We ran to the bank yesterday and sent it immediately ;D, but I hope its not too late...

Hmmm, my RPRF draft has not been en-cashed yet, as of last week it wasn't so not sure....

RPRF can be paid anytime before issuance of Visa. of course, they will not give you the visa without the good old cash.. So you are just fine.

Sept 15, good planning! are you already in Canada? we are in New Brunswick already, my hubny has work permit.

yes. My wife and my daughter are with me here in COLD Saskatchewan. I am on Work permit expiring June 2012 (lots of time)..and my wife is on Visitor Permit expiring June 2012 as well.

From what I am reading is - Buffalo has started sending PPR for people who has applied same time last year - feb/march etc. I think we are just around the corner.

Where do you plan to land - ours is North Portal - 6 hours South of Saskatoon....

Huh! That is strange indeed. Did you put that little sticker/barcode on the envelope that you sent...I was surprised too when my bank said the draft has been cashed - a week after they received it... Sometimes Customer Service do wonders....I hope she knew what she was doing....

 

[4mfamily]

you can send e-mail to Buffalo to see whether they received it or not; I did it before.

I am sure he/she has tracked the package at least. Did you?

 

[4mfamily]

if we get the PR, we will still stay in New Brunswick as my hubby needs to work. Plus, as far as i know, we cannot move to other province immediately under PNP program.

I sent it via Canada post - express post and I tracked it and it was delivered in Dec/21st. I surely put the stickers on the envelope and the letter as well as I wrote down my file # and name at the back of the draft.. both stickers the BCPNP green one and the file # sticket from CIC.

O Ok. May be I was not clear. By 'landing' I meant, you will have to cross the Canadian Border and get in back to complete the Permanent Residence Status...Here, http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/contact/listing/indexpages/indextype38-e.html

Good lucking Waiting - hope not a long one this time.
