Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

[mumbles]

Assumed the envelope would arrive delivered by a person, but just discovered it crammed into our too-small apartment mailbox. Passport slightly bent, PR application package (particularly wedding photos) NOT returned. Envelope I submitted with hair color/height sheet and immigration-sized photos, however, returned. Instructions and COPR form also included (counterfoil, of course, no longer in the passport). COPR is valid until July 7, 2013, which coincides with the expiration of my passport. Land-by date is April 6, 2012, which corresponds to one year and one day after the day I undertook the medical exam. So that's over with

Great news!! YAYY!!!! keeps us all posted!

Indeed. People should really understand that "In Process" in e-cas is not a magical event that guarantees their PPR will come imminently. In fact, the difference between "in process" in e-cas and "PPR" in one's email or, more rarely, mailbox, has historically been as short as 1 day and as long as....well, I'm not going to spend time again checking on the spreadsheet, but we can just look to Calgary-Bound's example of 5 months. Moreover, do you really need e-cas to give you an arbitrary judgement of your application's progress or would you prefer to see just what exactly that "processing" looks like by way of reading GCMS notes? I think the latter. And remember, some people never get "in process" before PPR for some odd reason. There's more diversity here at Buffalo than you'll find in a South American rainforest ecosystem. Sad but true. You have to find sanity somewhere, folks.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA more diversity than the South American rainforest ecosystem.I actualy lol on that one because its true.

We actually never sent the passport, which is why we were confused to get a COPR without any explanation or congratulatory letter. We had sent the medicals at the beginning, as well as photocopies of the biodata portion of her passport, which was apparently enough. So confusing and wonderful! They opened and closed our case on December 23rd. That puts us at about 5 and a half months from start to finish.

Thanks everyone for the congratulations, and congratulations to AmericaninQuebec and everyone else that is landing and/or getting PR right now. To everyone else, thank you for your unfailing support and knowledge, and good luck to everyone who is still waiting to hear back. I'm so grateful for these boards!

And now it's time for us to start a whole new planning process: planning our landing. Ohhhh buddy. Still can't process this.
