Congratulations!!

Did you apply at Buffalo VO?
When did you get the MR and when did you do your Medicals?

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the wishes !!

This is how it happened in my case:

Landed in Canada on 24th Aug 2008 as a student.
Completed my studies in Seneca college - Applied for open work permit - Got a job offer - Working in Toronto since May 2009 - Applied for PR Sep 2009 - Rejected in Nov 2009 - Reapplied in Dec 11 2009 explaining and with supporting documents to Sydney, NS

AOR - 30 - March - 2010
File Transfer - April 7 2010
Application sent to Buffalo VO - May 2010

Waiting Waiting Waiting !!!

Did my medicals in advance on 17th Aug 2010. Work permit expired and returned to India on Aug 18 2010.

Got married on 12th Sep. Wife is a Registered Nurse and she already applied for PR in New Delhi visa office and it was under process through a consultant.

Updated both New Delhi and Buffalo files with spousal details, job details, CRNE Credential details.

The Buffalo application was reviewed and started processing on November 30, 2010.

Buffalo office requested for RCMP fingerprint Criminal check.... missed that email..... later came to know that email was miss spelled thr CAPIS noted...... Processed RCMP fingerprint Criminal check from India..... received by visa office on Feb 2011.

Medicals expired on 17th Aug 2011.

Waiting ... waiting ...

Medical requested by VO on 27th Feb 2012..... Medicals request reached us on 21st March 2012 (Buffalo - India)..... Did medicals on 24th March 2012 and the doctor was very kind and sent the report to Buffalo (as requested in the letter) on 27th March and she also called us back and gave the tracking number and mailed the tracking number and receipt of the courier. Medicals reached Ottawa on 29th March and it was sent to Buffalo on 13th April 2012.....

Waiting waiting waiting....

Meanwhile I sent the RPRF fee and also updated the latest PCC from India for my wife and myself.

Passport requested on 03-May-2012....

I cannot sent passport across countries hence I am traveling to Buffalo (have B1-B2 visa for US) on 14th May and will get the visa stamped for me and my wife. Then will sent back my wifes passport through my friend, who is visiting India for vacation and my wife will land in Toronto hopefully by end of this month.....

I was a silent observer of the forum. The forum and CIC website was the only help I had since I started my PR journey in Dec 2010.

Kudos to all the forum members. Thanks a million times for the help extended to me.

I thank God Almighty for being by my side in all difficult times and also through this PR process.

I am not getting satisfied thanking this forum members..... because only I know how much Canadavisa.com has helped me.... I mean the forum members.... I do not want to specify the name of forum members as many posts have helped me in one way or the other. In that case I have to make a big list of names..... Thanks a lot..... thanks a lot.....

All the best for the people who are in queue and our prayers always for u all...

Regards and Wishes and Prayers,

Binstm

Dear Binstim,
I don't know you but I have say that you are very courageous, faithful, hopeful and exhibited awesome patience. Your story will be an inspiration for all those who are waiting or complaning about delay in their visa processing. Wishing you good luck as you travel to USA for the stamping of your PR visa. God bless you and thank you for sharing your story.

[katydid]

Binstm,

Thank you very much for taking much time to write your immigration story.  That is very attractive, valuable and affecting. It struke a chord with me because most of us have been underwgoing a long and anxious time to get PR, like you had.

[salem10]

This is great news from buffalo VO.

Hi, I have recived medical request today by mail. It is white envelope with letter and mical forms for me, wife and two kids. The medical was issued on April 14 that is one day after status changed to IP.

The current ecase status said the Medical Results has been recived.

I have done medical exam June 2011 for refugee application, I donot know if they will consider the first medical exam or not. If they consider that, why they ask me for new medical exam while the first one has not been expired.

Also, in the letter, they said eligibilty review completed and interview in not required. they ask to sumbit proof of fund with a certain value.
