Finally got an e-cas update today!

"We started processing your application on September 12, 2011.

Medical results have been received."

I am very very happy to hear something. I got my file number from Buffalo back in July only after bugging them through email a couple of times, but since then I have been stuck at "application received."

Hopefully this means someone in Buffalo has woken up this week and we will hear more soon!
That is good. You might be getting your ppr soon. I got mine about two weeks after it said that.

This Is the email I got about my CAIPS notes this morning.I hope there isnt something messed up with my app.So I try and call the phone# and Its the wrong number.

This is further to your request under the Access to Information Act, which was received on August 17, 2011, for the following:

-the Buffalo GCMS notes concerning *********

Despite our best efforts to process your request within the 30-day statutory limit, an extension of up to 30 days pursuant to paragraph 9(1)(b) of the Access to Information Act, is required. This paragraph states that an extension may be taken where "consultations are necessary to comply with the request that can not reasonably be completed within the original time limit".

Please be advised that you are entitled to bring a complaint regarding the processing of your request to the Information Commissioner within sixty days of the receipt of this notice. The complaint form can be retrieved at: http://www.oic-ci.gc.ca/eng/lc-cj-logde-complaint-deposer-plainte.aspx.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Perhaps call the border you plan to cross and see what they require. StumpedMom didn't have to worry about the 3 day thing exporting/importing at Detroit/Windsor, but my officer at the Lewiston Bridge was very strict about it. While he was very nice, when I went to get my export stamp he was sure to ask where the car was the day prior. I had proof even if he needed!

I also didn't have to pay the AC tax or give a recall clearance. I had my inspection form ready within 24 hours of importing.....
I actualy looked the number up for the border In Montana lastnight so I think I will call them and see what they say.

The inspection fee is supposed to be included with the RIV Fee
I really really hope so :)

I'm budgeting that they are not just in case (i'm thinking provincial inspection for ICBC).

Once we go through the process I'll be sure to share the details.

Apparently I don't analyze enough - I wrote your posts "do others" instead of "do help others." Hahaha. I wrote that late at night!

Great, two "in process"es for Sept. 12 today. You also went to in process without ever getting an AOR?
