Hi friends, I am also joining your long journey here. My full app has been received by Buffalo office on Jan 11, 2010. Yet to get AOR from them.
Welcome, As you could read in previous posts, our journey has just begun, my application was received by Buffalo in Dec-30-2009. I haven't get my AOR which I am expecting it within the next 2 weeks, and then, grab a really comfy couch or sofa my friend because is going to be a long wait. I believe your AOR should come by the first or second week of February. Good luck |

Hey Friends,
I was looking over Trackitt timelines to see if I get any clue about the processing time at Buffalo after AOR. Unfortunately, Trackitt is so confusing. However, it seems that Buffalo takes between 7 to 8 months to request for Medical from the day that they transferred the file to Buffalo office. Is there anyone to acknowledge that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Best of luck to anyone.

Atleast not here we heard abt any case of 2009 getting close ... most of them are with AOR only..
there is a member 'rupeshari' who mentioned about some movement on files at buffalo ( Jan-09 till March -09) not sure still, we have not got any new information on this, so just hoping
7-8 months time line for Medical from buffalo.. may be the old story now, if any Jan-09 or Feb 09 case gets medical or PPR request now then we can say it may take 12+months for medical and etc....

Unfortunately, if your work permit expires on May 2010, there is no way to get your application processed before or even by that date. It will take at least 12 months just to start processing your application at Buffalo. Therefore, if you send your application this February 2010, do not expect any kind of communication from Buffalo after the AOR before 12 months. You will have to find your own way to extend your temporary residence status in canada (work,... study permits or whatever it was) and it has nothing to do with your PR application at Buffalo. |

The way Buffalo is working currently, you shouldn't expect a response for at least 12 months after Buffalo receives your application. Buffalo is extremely slow at the moment. Even 2008 cases have yet to be resolved. Mark |

Welcome to this thread. Since Buffalo is very slow to respond these days, this forum is the only hope for some to get an idea as to what to expect in the near future. Mark |

The way it is going right now, even late 2008 cases have yet to receive medical requests. I only know of one case from 2009 that has been asked to submit medicals, and that person has employment in Canada. Mark |

It appears a substantial number of January 09 and Feb 09 cases have received medical requests. What is not clear is whether most of these are with arranged offer of emplyment or under work permits etc. in Canada or not. I for one think this forum may have to delink post Feb 09 cases from the past since it is actually post Feb 09 cases are the ones with the Sydney- Buffalo route. So far Buffalo appears to be doing cases that it has directly received and it is those cases that are causing frustration in the forum for their slowness. We may see a totally different time frame for submissions made via Sydney route. Also please check the Govt. web site - I think it estimates anywhere between 6-18 months for Buffalo in its latest update. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/01-all.asp |

If I was you, I wouldn't even let this raise any hopes. I would think it is very individual. Some cases could take 12 months after being received, some cases much much longer than that. Also, a lot of these cases could be provincial and those with employment in Canada. Usually, if you are gainfully employed in Canada, your case is processed faster. Or if a province nominates you, your case is processed faster. I suspect that FSW1 & 3 are the slowest in terms of processing. Mark |

Hi Professional1 and LondonOntario, I am in the same boat as LondonOntario (FSW2 arranged employment with work permit) but mine's dues on Jan 2011. A question for professional1, what did you mean with "...and it has nothing to do with your PR application at Buffalo"?. I am almost sure that I will have to renew my work permit before it dues as CIC web page states that FSW2 applicants must have their valid work permit at all times in the PR process (before and after visa stamping). Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks and the best wishes for everyone here... |
