So they haven't touched the backlog files for more than two weeks now.The January, February applicants havent been finilized. Let alone march, April, may. Meanwhile November is pouring rain with pprs. I guess they did keep their word, had given people UPDATES before the summer came around.They probably think lets keep those files for another year. What's the difference the applicants can't do anything anyway.
 
Thanks haggerkim :) Just noticed that CIC is now on strike... I guess we have to wait for a even longer time....

I sent a email to my local MP just now. This is ridiculous
 
CIC is indeed on strike action. This really worries me...

Is contacting local MPs useful in general? How can they generally help? Thanks!
 
I have compiled the petition for the Buffalo Forgotten Applicants.Now all we need to do is to collect as many signatures as possible and spread the word.You dont need to write your actual name or email if you are afraid in some way,JUST SIGN IT.Send this link to every person who might sign it,media outlets, immigration anywhere you can think of.i cant cover everything,so use your email and support the cause.The only way to do this is by doing it together.If you are sick and tired of waiting than help yourself.we all have to pitch in.

Hey NNL, I dont know if contacting local MP is useful or not. My MP office told me it will accelerate the process. But I didn't get anything yet...

The MP office will reply you really fast. There is little they can do. But i think it's better than just waiting :(
 
any update guys??
 
I received an email asking to pay rprf today. I had applied in march 19th, 2012 and my application went in process on april 25th, 2013. I have a question if someone could answer. How much is the rprf? Is it 550 + 490 or just $490?

Thanks,
D.

Its 490$, but if u have dependent then 490*2 = 980

U pay 550+490, whn u initially file the application where you pay processing fee i.e 550 along with 490 RPRF fee, hope ths answer ur question

Thanks for the advice, vova0522.

I think if all of us sign this petition about forgotten Buffalo applicants, things may get a bit faster.

The following information means that CPP-O will be affected too... Sigh.... :(

Hi everyone,

If you are in the Buffalo backlog, here is a newly opened Facebook group. We should work from all directions to make the government process the backlog faster.

I got CIC's feedback today. My application for permanent residence will not be approved before August...

My application was filed March, 30, 2012

I am sorry to hear that, vova0522. I hope they do approve it in August though. Does the response also mean that those applications received in early March will be processed in July?

Thanks!
