OK so I have quite a strange update!
You may remember I posted that I hadn’t received an AOR from Buffalo at all, not even anything from Mississauga!
Anyway, so I sent Buffalo a case specific enquiry to see if they had my application on the 6th February. Having heard nothing back, I went away skiing last week and mid week on the 16th February my eCas suddenly changed to decision made! I was like what the hey?! No AOR! No in process - just straight to that! I was a little worried it may have been bad news!
On my return from skiing, I had a knock on the door this morning and a Canada Post guy had an envelope for me from the High Commission in London! It was my COPR!!!
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
My visa office was supposed to be Buffalo, which was confirmed by the call centre as I had been admitted to Canada for a year, but it seems I was sent to London to alleviate the backlog at Buffalo and be processed quicker! 4 ½ months in all!
I am still shocked now! Can’t believe it is all over! Plan is to land this weekend and celebrate with family and friends a lot! Want to thank everyone for the support and advice in this post and I wish all remaining Septembrians a speedy approval.
Cheers.
