The CBSA agent didn't seem concerned at all about when the goods would be coming into the country, so no strict deadline was specified.

Sincere congrats to all the 2010 applications that have been approved in the last while. Once the backlog is cleared out, all applications will be moving along faster...and those of us who were approaching a one year waiting anniversary needed some love! :D While following the forum, I have...

We just got the visa this morning by Canada Post from NY - it took 2.5 weeks to process. Hopefully this means yours should be coming soon.

Congrats to all the recent PPRs and thanks for the responses to my question. No problem for us to hit the border but I thought that a CIC office might be more efficient...silly me ;-) New York, here we come.

Sorry to hear about the frustrations that have come up lately. If only there was a more direct channel of communication with CIC, I think many of these issues could be solved very quickly. But alas, this isn't the case. Which is why I'm bringing yet another question to the forum: I've heard...

Happy Thanksgiving! I was so excited when my husband's passport request came through last Tuesday that I forgot to thank all of you for your quick answers and solidarity over the last 11 months. This forum is such an important place to find support and hope when all feels lost. It is so...

Ahhhh - PPR! Ours came this morning from NYC by mail (no accompanying email). Fingers crossed for the rest of the 2010 applications.

Congrats francohoosier and pdb1!

As I said in an earlier message, I'd say ours is a pretty straightforward, routine case. Complete application with fees paid up front, lots of relationship documentation, no criminal issues, my husband (the applicant) is well-educated for finding work in Canada and we just had a baby. Unless...

Mumbles, the good news is that applying outland and living in Canada is possible. I spoke to CIC before applying and they actually recommended that we apply outland, even though we're living in ON, because it would make cross-border travel easier while our application is under consideration (and...

Shouldn't be any issues. I would say that ours is a pretty straightforward case...just applied at the wrong time (right before computer system revamp). CAIPS looked good the last time we requested them...but no idea how much longer it might take. We've been able to be patient along the way, as...

I'm from the November group and still waiting...so there are still a few of us out there.

We applied in November, so we're with you!

Just wanted to post an update for the 2010 batch: Our CAIPS request came by mail today (on a CD). Since our file was transferred to NYC it has definitely moved forward. Approvals on eligibility, medicals and criminality have been logged...we're not sure on the in's and out's of the process but...

So sorry to hear this Kayan. We applied in Nov 2010 and were transferred to BUFF in Jan 2011. Having heard nothing, we ordered CAIPS notes this May and were disappointed to see that our file had not been touched for 5 mths. Since then, the only thing we've heard is that it's been transferred...

Congrats Chess101! And yes, Francohoosier, let's hope that NYC gets moving as fast as the other satellite offices!

Great news Romain - congrats and thanks for the update. We're on the same rough timeline and our file was also transferred to NY from Buffalo. After waiting since November, this is a welcome update to see. Congrats and fingers crossed for the rest of us 2010'ers!

Thanks Rinnerz!

Did anyone else who is still waiting for PPR receive news that their file had been transferred to NY? If so, does anyone know how to get in contact with the IOs there?

My husband and I have not contributed to the BUFF spreadsheet so far - just thought I would mention that we applied in November 2010 and heard nothing until a few weeks ago when we discovered that our file had been transferred to NY. Our application was complete when submitted and we paid all...
