Wow, wally1961, another Buffalo applicant waiting around since Feb 2011!

Turnaround time is supposed to be 15 working days.
 
Hi Wally1961 I recieved PR from Buffalo in January and it took almost 4 weeks after we sent my passport. *sidenote... You don't actually have to send your passport into Buffalo you can just simply photocopy the bio data page and submit your pictures, just in case you might need the passport to travel :) hope that helps!

I am very happy for you Charlie. Congratulations! :D
 
Yay on the in process; boo on the medical and police records re-do. :D I guess that means it's not really fine as long as the police cert gets to Mississauga within 3 months? Apparently they're expirable at Kingston......

It's not just the biodata page that needs to be photocopied; it's every single page, per the instructions in the PPR email. And even so, I would make sure it actually gives that option in the PPR. Some people, for some reason or another, only got a standard request for the physical passport book, and I think better safe than sorry to follow the directions in one's particular PPR message because you never know.

LOL, they don't request the PCC re-do for everyone who has passed the 1 year mark, but apparently my travel history means I get singled out. I was told to either prove I haven't been back to the US since my last visit, or get a new FBI record (even though my most recent visits were under 2 weeks !)

Thanks, maya2011 and Habibti! :)
 
Yeah you. That is great news!!

...we have nada but our last communication from Buffalo was nearly 60 days ago. So we will be bugging them again in a week.
