Since the Buffalo Visa Office is closing, CIC has just issued a Bulletin announcing a pilot project so that the processing of new temporary resident visa applications for those holding a valid study or work permit will commence at CPP-O (Ottawa).
Details in the Bulletin at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob426.asp
Good luck!
