If there is a problem B'lo will let you know. They have a process for requesting medicals that doesn't involve the applicant, but sometimes there is a hiccup.

Soooo do you guys think I have one more month to wait til I hear anything from Buffalo? Seems like everyone who was one month ahead of me is finally getting AOR just past several days.

I still have my FBI certificate to send (I finally received mine one month ago) and I really want to send it off. The waiting sucks! :mad:

Wow! That means, we are about a month away if they keep the pace. LOL. Our application is exactly a month after yours.

I am in the same situation- I just hope it doesn't expire before I can send it off.
I am debating sending another to only have a month gap between the two - hopefully.

sbwv09 -

Can you please let me know what email address your "strange emails" came from? I want to let my husband know what he should be on the look out for. Way too easy to mistake something for spam and accidentally delete it.

Thanks in advance! :)

re-BFALO.I​M-REG-ARCH @ ​internation​al.gc.ca

or

re-buffalo​-im-enquiry​ @ internatio​nal.gc.ca

The first was the 'random' sort of emails, but the second is when they reply to an email you send to them :) It also always has the name and case number of the applicant in the subject.
