1.  You have to apply at an office outside Canada.
2.  Since you were admitted for less than a year, you cannot apply to Buffalo, but must apply to the office responsible for usual place of residence.

1.  If you are admitted to Canada for a year, then you can apply either to Buffalo as well as to the office that handles the country of your normal residence.  Note the word is ADMITTED, you don't have to be in Canada for a year to apply.
2.  If you apply to Buffalo, you should be aware that if you require a US visa to attend an interview in the US and you don't have one, it is very unlikely US Immigration will issue one.
3.  Also the processing in Buffalo will most likely be longer than their quoted times, as they will have to the office responsible for your home country verify your documents, and that takes time.

You weren't "landed" that is for permanent residents, if you were admitted on May/06 how long was your document issued for?  If it was valid to Aug/07 then you can apply to Buffalo.  Note the processing times for Buffalo, will you be in Canada that long?  Do you have a US visa?

Unless you grew up in an English speaking country, your home language and work and school was all in English, CHC is most likely going to request the IELTS results.  Most office no longer accept the written statement of english proficiency as at interview too many applicants claiming a high proficiency in English had a less than claimed and it appears that someone other than the applicant had completed the documentation to prove their language ability.
