Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

[Rinnerz]

We got a fake update also.

The address is back... but now instead of a change the address link, it says something about "need to change this? contact us"

Hrmm, I still have the old link there. However, the link does take you to instructions that specifically state not to use the online service if your file is being processed abroad.

 

[jayde]

Yeah, my husband's old address is back on there... not even the updated one.. /sigh

 

[francohoosier]

Ditto. My address reappeared - 'old' style.

 

[Calgary-Bound]

Mine still doesnt show my address.

Did you get your passport request this morning?!

Just an update for everyone who was concerned:

So it's almost one year since we intially sent our application into Mississauga, since we did medicals and everything.
I emailed Buffalo and got their standard response the next day but instead of saying " your application is in process" it said " your application if currently under review with an officer" ok..... since June 27?! ( that's when they received the additional info regarding our common law relationship) This is actually the second time they request additional info. The strange thing about this one is that on our CAIPS notes it says " our common law relationship appears bona-fide"

Anyways long story short, hopefully it'll be anyday now, it's just frustrating for people like me who have been waiting a year to see buffalo process people within 3 months
I also caved in and emailed my MP but all I got was a standard response and that "my matter will be looked into and someone will get back to me" Right, I don't really care if someone gets back to me or not, hopefully I'll hear back from Buffalo before then, this week maybe?

Wow, one year, huh? I feel for you. Hang in there, chess101. Hope you get good news soon.

Thanks ddobro2,
I don't know where the time went! It's just tough on us I think common-law applications generally take more time because they have to go over all the evidence, ( that's why they requested more from us in early June)

If we were married I think we would have gotten PPR in June but instead we got "more evidence" required.

*hug* I'm right there with you. Our application is coming up on one year as well so hopefully Buffalo will use that little approved stamp on our app right after they approve yours

When I emailed my MP initially I got the "we'll let you know what we get from Buffalo" response as well but they did get back to me within a few days.

 

[chess101]

I bet you it's the same IO lol

Well it's good to know we're not alone
