I'm new to this forum. My husband got an e-mail from Buffalo on 8/31/10 saying that they have received his file and has given him a file number.
Does that it has been processed? If it is, how come we haven't got an AOR yet? we can't seem to find any records on the status website either using my Client #.

Application sent: 06/17/10
Approved and sent to Buffalo: 07/29/10

The letter saying that they've received his file and giving him his file number is the AOR. That means the visa office has started processing. Congrats :)

You should already be able to log into e-CAS using the sponsor's information. Logging in with the applicant's information should come soon as well. But really it's no big deal, it will just say "We have started processing your application on XX, 2010"

Update from me..sorry to cross post. I have received an e-mail from CIC to inform me that my file has been transfered to Detroit. I hope this is not going to take longer or even lose my FBI certificate that was sent to Buffalo 2 weeks ago. (fingers crossed!)

Here is the e-mail in case some of you want to see it...

FILE: Bxxxxxxxxx NAMES: ********


This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.

In order to expedite the processing of your application, your file has been sent to:

Canadian Consulate General

600 Renaissance Centre, Suite 1100

Detroit, Michigan 48243-1798

fax: 313-567-2125

e-mail: detroit-im-enquiry @ international.gc.ca

The Canadian Consulate General in Detroit will complete the analysis of your application and determine if a personal interview with a visa officer is required. Your file number remains the same.

The Canadian Consulate General in Buffalo no longer has your file. Therefore we cannot acknowledge or respond to future correspondence from you. Please do not submit any further documents or correspondence to this office. If IELTS or TEF test results are sent to us, they will be forwarded to the Canadian Consulate General in Detroit.

In the event of a change in your address, marital status or family composition, you must inform the office noted above. Do not use the CIC e-Cas on-line change of address system. Your new address will not be downloaded to your file in Detroit.

Do not request the status of your file within ninety (90) days of the date of this letter.

All future correspondence you receive will be from the office noted above.

Sincerely,

Immigration Section

Hey June applicants,

I opened the mail box last night and surprise surprise I received a letter dated 31st August requesting my passport...wahoooo :) :) :)
The funny thing is I have had absoulutely no updates from CIC apart from in process as of 6th August. I was happy with the thought of getting my PR before Christmas but now I`m over the moon!! Sydney seems to be flying through their applications

Good luck to everyone out there that is still waiting & congrats to those who have already been apporved.

Congratulations! Makes me wonder what happened to our file. No updates but I know they got my e-mail about changing address to a Canadian Address. I think you are almost there! Wish you a speedy processing :)

I kind of hope that our file is transferred to Detroit now! Detroit is the border my husband crosses at most frequently, anyway.
