My application also reached Buffalo on April 8th. I had sent MO.
Can you let me know when your check is cashed? I will do the same.
Just checked the status - not cashed yet.

My application has been returned. More is here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/cic-buffalo-returned-application-package-ainp-t17919.0.html

A question, my home country police certificate expired yesterday (it was issued Jan 20, 09). Do you think I need to request a new one before sending my application back OR they will accept the same old one? Thanks.

Dipen,

AlbertaGovernor is right. Just wait and check you regular mail. I receive this email 3 days before I receive the snail mail.

AlbertaGovernor or other gurus,

Question on the CIC application. It is my understanding that the certificate is valid for 6 months. The letter I receive mentioned that I have to submit CIC before Late September 2009. However the mail was postmarked April 26, 2009. So that means it only about 5 months?
I did notice that the letter was dated March 26, 2009. Is there some QC process in AINP office prior to mailing the letters?

Thanks,

CT

I got the same email but i havent received my PNP nomination yet. Any info??

No you can not apply online for PCC and Birth Certificate for our country and the Embassy in DC does not issue those. I asked my brother to go to the Police Headquarters in Naxal and apply for it. I sent a copy of the bio page of my passport, copy of my citizenship, 2 passport size photos, departure record from Nepal (they stamp the date in your passport) and arrival record in the US (I-94 or stamp in your passport). My bro also had to see a lawyer and he had to do some fingerprints for me. He got the PCC in 3 days, he took it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a stamp and paid some money there and mailed that to me. I have no idea why he had to take it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but he said everybody is advised to do that. I guess one more way to suck your money. PCC in the police headquarter was free.

For my BC, my sister went to the village where I was born (high up on the mountain) and she got a letter from the VDC office that says when I was born and who my parents were. She took that letter to Babar Mahal Kitab Khana translated it in English and sent both copies to me. I hope this helps.

I think we should make a small association after we get our PR ! How about "All ex-H1b freedom association " ?

If you got AOR on March 3rd 2009 then better stick with it. PNP will take 8 months + 6 months.

For AINP you have to start from scratch, a completely different process compared to FSW.

You can get the information and current processing timelines at www.albertacanada.com

bendjoe is right, you are better off with FSW as the SRS H1B is taking long these days.
