Hello harvie,
This is what I always see for the last 3 months.
''We received your application for permanent residence on March 7, 2013.''

They have not updated my status to MR. Any idea how long it takes for background/security clearance?
harvie, did you apply to NS and then to CPP-O or you submitted your file to Buffalo?
