can u tell me ur ecas status, too?

mine started showing "in process" on may 25th, then as buffalo got closed, i guess my case is in ottawa now.

What date did they started processing your application? Does it mean that Ottawa put it in process and how much longer do you think it will take to get PPR?

it shows they started processing my case on may 25th. but this was done by buffalo, then buffalo was closed, and i don't know what's going on here.

i knew a couple of friends, their cases were in buffalo, and after showing in process for 1 month or so, they both got passport request. but now i guess their cases are no longer representing, cuz the whole system is changing.

by the way, my ecas shows my mailing address, starting after June, 2012.

How do you know Buffalo put it in process and not ottawa doing that.. Same thing for me, mailing address also showing but I am not sure if file is in Buffalo or Ottawa and all of a sudden there are so many applicants with status IN PROCESS.

buffalo is closed, literally!!

no one is working in buffalo office, the door of that office is locked!! some people thought buffalo may still be working to at least finish the cases they have in hands, and then shut down. this is not true, the office is shut down, 1 week after CBC first reported it. this really shocked me. and all the unfinished cases were transferred to ottawa.

but u could be rite, maybe our cases were all transferred to ottawa before May, and they just didn't tell us.

Simple question please:

I just received my CSQ and I am preparing the federal application forms. What is the CSQ number? Is it the Nombre de reference or the nombre de dossier?
Or is it a different number and I just can't see it?

Thank you very much!

can't remember, but use the shorter one!

actually, if u fill the form in computer, u will see that there is not enough space for the other one, u have to use the shorter one
 
According to this:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/notice-buffalo.asp

"Applications that are currently at the Buffalo visa office will be transferred to CPP-O for final processing. Applicants are not required to contact CPP-O to ensure their application has been transferred. Applicants will be contacted at the next stage of processing or once a final decision has been made."

In my case, I sent passports to Buffalo two weeks ago as the email was saying. I tried to contact Buffalo by email but the auto reply says they have closed :P
I don't know where our passports are and I don't know if they give VISAs in Ottawa (I doubt it).
Anyone with a similar situation ?
