Thanks everyone!!
@ sept15: yes, they sent me the link with new dimensions and I updated our photos accordingly.
for those of you who dont know my situation. I am in India (i have informed CIC & changed my address also). My passports are already with my friend (i gave it to him, when he visited India). He is going to mail the passports with necessary documents to Buffalo office.
I have a question,
Do I need to use IMM 5476 - Use of rep form or not?
Please advice.
Thanks!!

I believe he doesn't need this form because there's no need for him to act as rep. during your application process. However, you should prepare a letter authorising him to pick up the passport on your behalf and also acknowledging that he'll be sending it over. You can fax or mail the letter after signature. |

vBOMB - On behalf of Superboy (he is in the washroom at the moment!): His passport was discharged on a Friday afternoon (or at least collected by Canada Post) and was received by Super on Tuesday.
How do you know that your passport was discharged: If your ECas has changed DOES NOT means that it was discharged. Wait until you get notification from Canada Post that it was collected. It might e discharged tomorrow! BUT in any case, if Decision was made on ECase you will get it by next week...
Delivery time - 2-3 days (most common 2 days). Maximum 3 days (working days)
gosh, I told you not to say anything. Anyways, I am out of the washroom now..hehehe. Thanks sept15. Yes, vBOMB what sept15 is saying is correct. received at Fort Erie at 14:00 on Friday 25/Mar and I got it in my hands on tuesday at 9am tuesday 29/Mar...so 2 working days.. |

Thanks subzbus and Sept 15
Yep National Express Post, I will never use them again, it looks like the package is just sitting at Ft Erie for the past 2 days lol
Will see what happens tomorrow. subzbus, do you live in Vancouver?
Thanks guys!
Vbomb, I phoned them because I had the same concern and same situation so their answer was that the items sometimes don't get constantly updated in the system and that is why it does not show online or there are times when items get updated only at discharge and upon reception. |

Congrats all who are very close to having PR. I've been out of Canada for a month and returned recently.
Anyway, my application for PR was received on Jan 18, 2011 by Buffalo. My draft was cashed on March 2, 2011 (checked with my bank). But I yet did not receive any letter from CIC (neither AOR nor CIC File No). I used my friend's address as my mailing address since I will be relocating within Ontario next month.
Today is April 18, 2011 and it has been almost 6 weeks after my bank draft had been cashed. Should I contact the call centre or it is very normal regarding PNP timeline?
As far I know, you receive an AOR approximately 2~3 weeks after the cheque/draft has been cashed. Then you wait for Medical Req. After that, you get a Passport Req, give the PR card fees and all. Educate me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

What Province nominated you? ONTARIO? or are you cheating the system? Anyways - Your AOR shall take 5.5 months - 6 months (16 - 20 weeks). Thanks |

LoL @ sept15; I still did not cheat and wish I knew some way. & I was nominated by Ontario last year under Int'l Student with Job Offer stream. So, till I get an AOR which may take another 3~4 months (according to you); I won't be able to access my file or something. Right? Seemingly you applied exactly 1 year before me and so I would take your word fully granted. Could you elaborate a bit more on the timelines from here on? |

If you have a Client Id. (on your study/work permit), you could try to see the ECas but most probably they have not entered anything yet on the system. You will have to wait till you get the AOR. I never used my Buffalo Immigration file to access ECas. I always used the Client Id. If you do not have one you will need to wait. |

Hey guys can any one of you please let me know how long it will take them to send my passports back after stamping my Visa? I have included corporate UPS return envelope so hopefully it will come faster and I can track it but need to know how long they take to stamp. My passport reached the office yesterday... Thanks in advance!

Buffalo doesn't like UPS/courier services ... in fact, the instructions included with the PPR email specifically state: canadainternational.gc.ca/buffalo/imm/submit_soumettre.aspx Important information regarding the return of your passports:Passports will be returned to you by US Postal Service regular mail unless you use one of the premium services described above. WE WILL NOT USE FedEx, UPS, PUROLATOR OR ANY OTHER COURIER COMPANY ENVELOPES - EVEN IF THEY ARE PREPAID BY CREDIT CARD OR ACCOUNT NUMBER. I would probably follow up with Buffalo to see if you can send them a USPS/CanadaPost envelope cause I think they'd send it via regular mail otherwise. It usually takes 15 business days for them to return your passports. Hope it works out for you. |
