My Wife, sons' cards were delivered today mine don't know what happened it was not delivered today, hope it will on tuesday. I called Canada post and the guy told me there will be delivery still on tuesday if strike goes .... Will keep my fingers crossed the guy most interested in receiving it and it never came... sucks...
Congratulations to your wife and son. And this is when you say 'Ah, Crap' - almost got it, LOL.

Does the card look fancy and hi-tech!

Super - Do you mean that the delivery of letters will take place throughout the strike (if any) or just Tuesday. Thanks

Super - Can you answer this for me as well. Were the cards in an Xpress mail or regular envelope. If they were in an Xpressmail, did they just drop them in the mailbox or you had to go and get them from the Post Office. Were your wife's and your son;s cards in one envelope or two. Can you please answer these promptly. Thanks

Superboy, Sept15 Anyone please help me...

I don't know what to do. My file got transfered to Siettle on April 28. I checked this on the E-Case.

Thinking strangely that my huuby was not getting any e- mail from Buffalo,
I looked up the photocopy of the file that sent to Buffalom and found out my hubby missed one letter in the email, which
explains us that why we were not getting any e-mail from Buffalo.

So, my husband requested e-mail address change to Siettle Office. They e-mailed back asking my hubby's DOB so he resent with
the info. For that matter, we got just general e-mail back.

Today I found out Hababo got asked for his PPR request from Siettle.
The thing is that he is exactly on the same period. His file was sent to Buffalo on July 20, and got the medial exam request the same
as mine, and file transfered to Siettle on April 28th just like mine.

Habao got asked on May 16 through his e-mail.
I am worried to death weather they sent PPR to a wrong e-mail address or not.

I do not know whether I have to wait or not, or send another e-mail..

Please give me any words for this.. I need your help....cyring...

Hello Strawbar, first of all you need to relax and be patient. each case is treated differently, but you can do to distress yourself is send an email and request for update on the status of your transferred case.

Sept15, my friend my card has been received and I am done for now, next step citizenship. I am about to make a final decision on not to proceed with US PR process, my oldest son does not want to go to US, and neither my youngest one. My wife and I have talked about it and we are about to make a final decision.

The processing time at Buffalo has recently been increased from 12 months to 13 months (=56 weeks). Each time I come to check this forum topic, I get confused re: the time distribution. As far I understood that an AOR/Medical can take >30 weeks nowadays instead of 16~20 weeks. What about the rest?

Can someone break down the whole processing time in each step (i.e. AOR, Medical, PPR, PR etc.) based on recent experience?

People like me who are at initial stage will be benefitted. Thanks.
