Since everybody seems to be interested in creating their own forum and thus disallowing viewing of valuable wisdome (for benefit of all), I thought we should start a Buffalo forum (Thread)....
And moreover the Buffalo Local Office seems to eternally slower than the Comcast Turtles!!!!

HI

Honestly I think that is silly.  I have been answering questions on this forum almost since the beginning.  But as soon as someone starts a forum for India, Pakistan, Buffalo or Outer Selisia I don't even bother reading or answering the posts.  If you want to limit the views and response you get fine, but it almost incestuous.  You will end up like immigration.ca/discussion2/  where there 654 pages on New Delhi, who in their right mind would wade through that?

I am agree with "PMM", 100% true. I see there no reason to creating specific threads while its open forum. What you are asking in 20 pages thread, maybe no one bother to answer but only a small group of sepcific people while if you are asking your question on main thread, the answer will get more replies definatily from almost athentic knowledge holders like PMM, BCGuy,LEON,Rupeshhari,Bobby and all members of this forum.

My personal advise to moderator that it shouldn't permit to creat personal threads on country,religion,race bases as this forum is open for every one and asnwer/question should be reviewed by every one too.

I think ADA post is rather sarcastic, I guess that's what he meant - we should stick to open forums but people starts their own and hence limit the views and replies which sometimes makes no sense.

I agree that post everything in open forum so it will get more views and replies as well as easier to search for the folks who are searching for a particular topic.

This is exactly my point.
What the heck is this forum for? If we all start personal forum/threads and fill it up for 1000s of pages.
I cant see any value and I may miss some important updates.

I am not sure if there is a way we can stop these lengthy threads and make us all aware of the happenings.

The admin on this forum is great. They are doing a free service to us by keeping this forum alive which cannabises into their time and possibly income because some people might have gone to that company for help.

Thanks admin.

Please don't expect me to answer if your post title has urgent in it and it is not really urgent. Urgent is 911 or you have a definite deadline tomorrow, not that you would like to send in the application soon

Dear PMM
CHC process and processing timings are different for Pakistan, and India etc.For example New Dehli applicant did not even hear of Provisional Acceptance Letter(PA) but CHC- Islamabad applicants  recieve that letter before medical.Similarly Islamabad checklist is different from New Delhi etc. To open a separate thread is an easier way to exchange info and compare timelines. we never open separate threads because of religion or race...we intend to live happily and peacefully with other communities in Canada.
You always found us posting a free thread in case of a common problem(which can be answered from all applicants... )

Most of the questions in such threads are questions that can be answered by anyone and also it would be useful for others to know most questions and their answer. It would be better to be inclusive for all those questions. I have seen many ND applicants ask questions and it was Buffalo applicants answer their question and visa versa. While you might not want to exclude others, newcomers to this forum find it easier to go to such threads and continue the culture of sticking to their own. Personally, most of my questions have been answered by people who neither come from where I was born nor look anything like me.
