Extend TRV - Valid Work Permit

Hi,

I have a valid post graduate work permit as I completed my 2 year master programs. I applied and received this at the Buffalo consulate for 3 years expiring in 2014. However, my passport at that time was valid only until 2012 so my TRV was only until April 2012. I have since then, got my passport extended until 2021, and need to re-apply for the TRV extension. I am looking at the 1249E forms on the CIC website, but need some clarity on how and where to apply.

- Is 1249 E the correct form for this application? I need to mark the TRV option on this.
- What are the supporting documents that need to be provided? Its not fully clear from the application form.
- Should I send the form to Vegerville or Buffalo? Can I apply in person at Buffalo?
- If I go in person to Buffalo, will they be able to provide this within the same day?
- What is the fees I should pay online ? $150 or $ 200?

Any insights on the above will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
V

TRV is applied for outside Canada. You can send it to Buffalo or you can go in person if you have a valid US visa. $150.00 is the multiple entry fee for the visa. I don't know if Buffalo has same day processing.

These are the forms you need to accomplish and send.

Thanks.

Wondering if anyone here, has had any experience in processing the application within the same day at Buffalo.
