Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

[computergeek]

Well apparently my application is still in transit to LA! WHAAAT?! :-X They sent it June 5th, it takes THIS long to go from Ottawa to LA? WOWZERS!

Burro express - strap it to a stray burro, point it in the right general direction, slap it on the butt and hope it gets there before the burro expires. It's best attribute is that it's cheap!

Seriously, though, the problem is that all this paperwork we're talking about is sent under diplomatic seal. When those trucks filled with documents show up at the US border, they are in trucks that MUST NOT be inspected (the truck itself is a "diplomatic pouch" - or maybe the boxes inside are diplomatic pouches, but at any rate they are not subject to inspection.) CIC batches these things up and ships them in bunches (I recall reading a paragraph in the operations manuals talking about a case in which if the next diplomatic pouch would be longer than a week the specific item should be sent via courier.)

I think I'll be waiting since I'm only 1 month into the application process. I've not even gotten sponsor approval or AOR yet Though the file number/UCI... would that not be the same as the Client ID on my visitor extension?

Yes - once you have a UCI it is your client ID for all CiC applications . You can use it to see when they receive your application through e-case.

Yup - IIRC, that's for privacy requests that ask for a copy of the full case notes (not just electronic records)

Hi, there

You should receive it in the next 2-3 weeks. The timing is currently at 47 business days for new residents - check http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp ... it's usually very accurate as to which applications just got processed and mailed out.

Hope settling in is going very well.

OhC

What do you mean by adding " mailling address " to your husband 's page? Is he the sponsor or are you ? sorry I'm a bit confused .. Mailing address has always been on the ECAS..

Did you get your SIN card yet? I'm hoping this process doesn't take long after landing as I'd like to start working once I do!

If I log in with the application number...it's the applicants page the address was not there before.... I'm the sponsor

I just logged in and it shows my address as the mailing. I haven't been able to log in (or rather, I haven't tried!) until now. Who knows. HOPEFULLY this means someone poked their nose in our applications
