Ok I've been reading a lot about other cases in the SW class from Buffalo where they send most of their supporting docs with the application. I know if they are under simplified they can't do that. It seems that the people that send FBI, PCC, and test scores with the application get their initial assessment a lot faster AND not only that but everything is way faster. I guess my question is applying under the regular app. process can I do this? and would this speed things up?

Thanks

You can only submit a regular application to Buffalo, if you have been admitted to the US/Canada for 1 year. Other offices it is the SAP UNLESS "

You must use the regular process if:

* you have been lawfully admitted to Canada for a period of at least one year and you are submitting your application at the Canadian visa office in Buffalo or
* you have been lawfully admitted into the United States for a period of at least one year and you are submitting your application at the Canadian visa office in Buffalo
* you are a provincial nominee
* you have been selected by Quebec
* you are eligible for points for arranged employment.

See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/EG7.pdf Factor 5 for the definition of arranged employment.

Right, I understand that I am to use the RAP (because of Buffalo) but the real question is should I gather and send all the supporting docs at the beginning and send everything all together or wait until the ask for them?

You follow the checklist, and they ask for everything up front.
