Congradulations @fleeting dasein and @quackingaspen. That is great news.

Did ecas change for you two, and what do they request regarding visa pictures. Is there anything that could be done in advance. It is great that Buffalo is working again......Here is to hoping.

We require two (2) recent photographs of yourself and each accompanying family member.

Here's the link the provided for the photo specifications: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/photospecs.asp

I haven't checked e-cas, but my tracker hasn't updated, so I think we can assume e-cas hasn't been updated yet.

Here are the 4 links they send with the PPR. They're helpful to have ahead of time, particularly to get your pictures and/or the two envelopes if you plan to mail your passport.

Thanks for all the congrats, guys! I hope that we will be hearing much more from Buffalo now! All of you should be hearing something soon.

My eCAS hasn't updated yet, either. I mailed my passport to Fort Erie this afternoon. We were going to drive to Buffalo, but decided to save the time/money/lost wanderings in Buffalo and just mail it. :)

Soo... how will you be celebrating, Fleeting? :D

Congrats everyone! ;D

I admit I'm jealous... Thanks to the Buffalo delay, half of us December folk are so far behind the rest of you! Let's hope they get cracking on our files!

We actually went to a little pub on Bloor/Bathurst and had a few pints of Rickard's White. I'm sure we'll celebrate some more when we get to Buffalo. What about you?

This is so exciting!

I think I got an AOR email yesterday from Buffalo! It contained a F********* number, but no B********* number. I can't seem to get the F number to work on e-Cas.

Yay! Congrats! Does it say something to the effect of:

This is to advise you that your application for permanent residence has been received at the Regional Programme Centre (RPC) and that a file has been created for you.

?

:) That's what my AOR said at the start.

Yep! That's your AOR. :) Congrats! I'll update you on the spreadsheet!

Just one more AOR, and I think we're all in process! We haven't heard from FloridaNative, but I'm guessing she's received her AOR by now as well.

Soo... we just need Sparkle!

Congrats on the PPRs guys! That is great news! Am happy for you guys :)

It came by email?

my biggest worry is that the reason I haven't heard anything is that there is an issue...oh how I dread more delays :(
