Hi katydid,

As per CIC website, the processing timelines (17 months for Buffalo) are given from the date of reciept of complete documents at the VO. Would it be possible for you to sort the info on spreadsheet in this order (column D). This will be helpful.

Kind regards,

vermas
Vermas,

Thanks for you opinion. I also agree that it will be better than now. I will spare time to do it if possible.

Hi, jeckay, It seems that there is a typo above? you said you started in Apr 2009 but you just submitted full docs to Buffalo til Dec 2010. I suppose it should be Apr 2010 for starting your app. Is that right?
sorry it is April 2010 and we received our 1st AOR August 2010, we sent the full docs to our consultant 2nd week of November and according to them Buffalo received the docs December, but huh until now we are still waiting for the 2nd AOR. why is it Buffalo VO is so slow :'(

Hi Katydid

it's been a while, how have you been?

Last time I posted my status here, it was CIO-S and they received my documents at Nova Scotia C-50 blah...
Since then, my e-cas changed to RBVO with correct information on March 25th.

This is my recent update.. Its been more than 5 months I have been waiting for my 2nd AOR.

Seems Buffalo is really slow:(
Besides, I see many people in this forum are waiting for 2nd AOR from them.
When are we getting 2nd AOR....?
Once the e-cas changes into RBVO, how long does it usually take to get 2nd AOR?

By the way, I am currently here with working holiday visa and it will be expired in 3 months.
I am applying visitor extension now.

I hope everyones will hear any good news from Buffalo soon.


Have a nice day.

chimmm

Working holiday visa? I have never heard of it. what kind of visa is that?

I have seen that quite a few members here, who send their full docs to buffalo in september last year, got the 2nd AoR in Dec. However, there is almost no one getting the 2nd AoR since Oct last year. I don't know why. Have all officers of buffallo been on holiday since Oct 2010? Awful.....

Hi gashe4peace,

The spreadsheet is linked to my signature. I have forbidden others to edit it except me because somebody disturbed it without any purpose before. Therefore, please post your info here if you'd like to add it. I will add it ASAP.

Also, although I created this thread originally in order to gather all the members of buffalo of the the forum here, all the other members are welcome as well.

Thks for your answer. Some taiwanese I know seem to got this kind of visa.

You are right. Sometimes this anxious feeling render us too fretful to concentrate on work. To be honest, I really detest this style of the current CIC but I don't have other better choices. I faithfully hope the ongoing election of Canada could infuse some fresh blood into CIC. Pray...

Look forward to some news coming from buffalo soon.

Praying for our 2nd AoR again.

I agree with you. Your life is unstable as you keep thinking about this immigration thing and you can not even make any new plans.
They should do something.
