"Medical Results have been recived" and after how many days you got ppr guys??

[TRUONGAN]

So you send directly to Buffalo? Cuz never heard anyone send passport directly to Buffalo, I don't wanna take risk....
Keep tracking....

i sent my pp to buffalo directly from Canada because I think they do not pick up from Fort Erie everyday, they received it on 29 Nov with signature.

That way, my pp will reach visa officer sooner. And like they said today in an email, pp is in line for visa issuance.

Fort Erie received your pp on Nov 8, chance is Buffalo didn't get it in line until a week later. anyway you should be able to track it early next week.

I should have done the same thing as u.......sigh~~

I see. After I sent passport to Fort Erie, I emailed them and they replied that my passport is in line for visa issuance until now. It still have no news....keep tracking Canada Post, LOL

yeah i paid $8 extra for postage to have my passport cross the border itself and reach the Buffalo office directly lol. If I were to send it to Fort Erie, I have no way to know exactly what date Buffalo received it so I have no chance to tell them when the 15 day will be elapsed. With their signature for my passport receipt, now it is easier to ask them for urgency.

As for how much delay it could be if you chose not to send directly to Buffalo, I do not want to assure anything. it could be a few days delay but it could be faster.

hi guys,

Same reply from buffalo, in process, no action required at this time.

Dont know what to do.

[a_p13]

mY SITUATION IS the same as yours my e cas has 2 lines like yours and sent my application in october 19 th . I emailed them yesterday and today got a standart reply.

I'm visiting this forum after a long time.... Congrats sinpguy for getting through...
I'm very glad to see Nov, Dec and January applicants getting their PPR's. Unfortunately, I'm an October applicant (Am I the last October applicant here  )

Here's a recap of my timeline...

Applied for OPNP - June 22, 2010
Sent application to Buffalo  -Oct 17, 2010
Medical Request/AOR - May 31, 2011
Medicals Done - June 4, 2011

Ecas read the following (2 lines only)
Your Application was received on Oct 19,2010
Medical Results have been received. (The 2nd line came up on Oct 10, 2010)

I sent them emails on 2 occasions (1st week of Oct and 1st week of Nov), and I got the standard reply stating "your file is under process and they can't give a specific timeline".

I'm thinking of emailing them again (looking at sinpguy's success story with email). If that doesn't work, what should I do? Processing time is 14 months, so I must get something by Dec 19 and I'm worried they might slow down for the holidays too.

Hey Truongan.. Just curious  why you didnt send a return envelope from Bufalo directly and send from fort erie instead..  was it for saving money or is there a reason for that..  Cos I am just wondering if I am sending directly to Buufalo , can I send a return envelope directly from Buffalo too...  To avoid  any delay

How can I buy USPS envelop from Canada =)) If I could get prepaid USPS express post envelop from Canada, I would have included it with my passport.

My visa will need to be carried to Fort Erie to send out from there

Just received email from buffalo...
same standard BS......................

Your passport/s is in line to have the Visa printed/added. If you need your passport, it can be returned to you without the Visa.

As indicated in the passport request, your passports will usually be returned to you within 15 business days from the day we receive them. This does not include any time it may take for the Post Office to deliver them.

I think you have to add a week to receipt date if you mailed it to Fort Erie. Thats why they don't consider your case as having elapsed 15 working days. Passport was received at a PO Box in Canada, there is no signed proof of the exact date when it arrives at Buffalo.

But, for sure it's coming as it's already been approved pending for visa printing.

hi Truongan,

Don't be so excited!
I send my passport to Buffalo directly by FedEX with a xpresspost envelope inside. It was delivered to buffalo on 11th Nov and my e-cas changed to decision made on 20th Nov. Still now I am unable to track my passport. 15 businessdays are over today. I am planning to send them mail on monday. But I am sure that I will receive the same reply as Zonger.

My friend, Canadian government agencies work on a law-based basis. If they say the process is 15 days, they should strive to meet that standard. And if I want to tell them the 15 working days has passed, I need to prove to them by the tracking result. That's why having somebody at Buffalo to sign my package is important!

 If you send to PO Box, nobody sign for it, no way to prove at what day Buffalo received it. And again, I don't know how they arrange transportation from Fort Erie to Buffalo. I personally don't believe they do that everyday.

If I were you having in hand the proof from Fedex that passport received on such and such day and as a matter of fact the 15th working day has passed, I have a right to inquire further.
