Applications after 26/6 in any NOC CONNECT HERE TO GET THE STATUS

[mari1981]

Hi everyone (esp. BUFFALO applicants),

I received my Medical Requests in the mail yesterday, May 10th.  My application went to "In Process" on April 25th.  The Letter is dated April 29th.

They have also asked me to submit new FBI PCC.  I had submitted one earlier with my initial application (on Sep. 10th), but I guess they are asking for a newer one.   

My advice for all Buffalo applicants who are "In Process" -- apply for a new FBI PCC asap.  Do not wait for Medical Requests.  You will save time this way.  I'm now preparing to apply for one again.

G'luck & well wishes!

 

congratulations. You made all Buffalo applicant's day with your good news. I hope all of us at least get into "In Process" stage and receive medical soon

Regards
Mari

Wayne,
I believe yours has been delivered. As you said, the delay is between delivery and website update.
If for any reason, they missed the guaranteed time, they will have to refund your money back to you even if its still delivered today.
Your visa issuance is not far from now. I think you will get PPR this month. For me, I have 6 more weeks to go before our baby's delivery.

Shalom

I think this month is being a bit optimistic. But next month is certainly looking possible.

Depends really on luck quite a bit - since they have brought forward dates where they check if they have everything they need to finalise the application, and depends on when you get everything to them. If it's just after a brought forward date (so you may have to wait until the next one) then this can delay things compared to if it's just before a brought forward date.

Amar,

I'm afraid 'I do not drink beer ' Will that hold me back from becoming a Canadian? Truly confused now

Thanks,

Indira Prabhakaran.

Dear Indira:  I hasten to assure you that drinking beer doth not a Canadian make!   HOWEVER, and I take a serious chance of being excommunicated for what I am about to say, it DOES help with the tedium of watching endless hockey playoffs, which are only second to Cricket, in some people's eyes!
I loved Cam's comment about these cultural adaptations being the reason for the 3 year wait for Citizenship!!!

Well the address was hand written (very bad writing) but who cares :p lolxx.... so they did not use the second sticker.. they might lost it, so careless of them lolxxxxx   

In the letter the have mentioned 4 methods to deliver my passports.. which were to use courier, post, drop box, and In person ,,, for the first three option they have mentioned 6 weeks to get my passport back but for the IN PERSON they have written that you should collect your passport back on the 2nd thursday as thursday is the only day to drop and collect... So IMO  "IN PERSON" is a good option and you guys dont have to worry as ill be the first to use and abuse the IN PERSON METHOD ..

WAYNE, as you know we had hundreds of Bank holidays and others so IMO you will get PPR sooner then mine... lets say first week of JUNE provided you send your docs before this weekend...

WOHOOOO and Thanks for everyone congratulating me, i wish everyone the "Early PPR" and "cheap flights" to CANADA ..."OUR HOME"

Hi m8. Ok thanks for the heads up. We're certainly intending to use the "In Person" method!

We sent RPRF, updated Schedule 1s and fresh PCCs yesterday by Special Delivery. They are supposed to arrive today before 1pm, although the tracker says they haven't arrived yet (probable lag between getting the documents signed for and updating their website). Hopefully the tracker will update by the end of today.

Well PPR at the start of June would be nice! But not wishing to count my chickens before they are hatched, I will see what happens.

When did you say you were planning to deliver your passports?

Wayne.

I believe watching hockey is the favorite national time pass. Is it too late to start learning?

JUST NOW JUST NOW JUST NOW  

I have two things updated in my case just now. Firstly, I had an email from the embassy saying : "Dear Sir,
 
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
 
We are pleased to inform you that your immigrant visa has been issued.  It will be sent to your mailing address within the coming few days through DHL based on cash on delivery system; which means that you will have to pay the courier delivery charges directly to the DHL representative.
 
Your DHL tracking number is: #########
 
Wishing you all the best of luck in Canada "  Huraaaaaaaaaaaaaay  

Ofcourse after recieving such marvelous news, I had to log in to e-cas to find my current status and it says :
DECISION MADE

We received your application for permanent residence on September 10, 2010.
 
We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on January 6, 2011. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
 
Your application was reviewed and we started processing on March 7, 2011.
 
Medical results have been received.
 
A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.

I can not express my feelings of success, happiness, joy, more ambition, enthusiasm, curiosity about the future and my career in canada. It is like winning a battle that started for me in person in 2007 with an old application and some hard licensing exams that needs canadian expierence and a status in canada to be able to go through the career. Now is time to gather the coloury crops of an old cultivated seed that gave me lots of hard time to be able to see its growth over the ground surface All I have to do now is to study for the coming challenge and wait for my sweet passport coming with such a visa

All my deep wishes, prayers and support for everyone here to catch their dreams with a promising future isA in canada  

Congraaaaautulation Moori for you Visa ,Really Im very happy to you.I wish you a good luck in your plans in Canada.

Dear Moori,

I was extremely disappointed, frustrated and sad this week because it's nearly a month is passed since i have submitted the requested documents without any response from their side. But i should admit:

YOU MADE MY DAY

I told you!  You'll be the first.
I wish you all happiness, health and success in your incoming life.

Thanks everyone for your warm greetings & well wishes.  Wishing you all the very same.  

thebeast184,
          
          IMO, Buffalo is processing applicants out of order.  I don't know why.  As far as the complexity of my case -- I'm single, never married, no kids;  very minimal travel history;  pretty straightforward case.  Additionally, I did both my Bachelor's & Master's studies here in the States from well known Universities.  I have no idea if any of this played any role.

avi_15,
          My MR was delivered by regular mail.  There's no mention of FBI PCC validity.  They have just asked for a recent one.  My old PCC was valid at the time of my initial application submission; I had actually received it right before I submitted my file.  But they are looking for a newer one I guess.

cforcanada,
          They have given me 60 days from the date stated on the letter (which is dated April 29).  I have that much time to secure the FBI PCC & Medicals.  FBI PCC might take longer than 60 days, but it's not a big deal.  Buffalo is aware of such timelines.  I would advise Buffalo applicants to keep a copy as proof of application for FBI PCC -- copies of all the dated pay receipts, fingerprinting card, etc.  Buffalo can wait for your pending FBI PCC given that you actually apply for it within the 60 day timeframe.  Make sure to keep all receipts as proof.

ane,
          My initial application was submitted Sep 10, 2010;  received my first AOR from CIO on Jan 5, 2011;  went to "In Process" on Apr 25th, and request for Medicals Apr 29th.  There was no second AOR - just direct to MR.


Also a big thanks to the Admins for updating my info, and maintaining this great forum!

One quick question. how does ND VO send the passports back using post or parcel service like fedex. And are all the application documents returned with the passport... anyone who has gotten their passports recently?

[canady]

Dear magdy,

I know it's not a nice email but it's good to know they are still alive!!!


You, Cairo, engy, Dr.Alex, Dr.Medhat, Om Sief, snow100 are next.

Wish you, guys all the best.
