congrats!! i sent in a change of address about 2 months ago and buffalo is STILL sending things to my old apartment... luckily it's right next door, so it's not a big deal, but they're never home until later and i should be getting PPR any day! just keep an eye for the letter, e-cas has never been updated for me and i've never gotten any e-mails from them either!

You sent the change of address into Buffalo and they're still sending thigs to old address?  Kind of typical though.

our mailing address updated just fine, I'm just wondering about the email address - but maybe I have a IO processing the case that does things differently -- updates e-CAS every step of the way, and sends physical letters instead of emails. Who knows??? I'm hoping to see a brown envelope in the mail very soon!

saugaboss - do you qualify for a NAFTA work permit? seems like for nafta work permits they are LMO exempted so all you need is a job offer. here's the CIC link

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/special-business.asp#nafta


hey thanks for the link im not sure if i qualify i know for sure i can get a job offer in my field but idk about the HRdsc/LMO thing... im in the financial field like a financial analyst it might be a job under Nafta not 100% sure calling CIC call center to double check

Hey folks,

Just wondering if anyone has thoughts/best guesses on if our application seems to be on track with everyone else's here in this thread. Our file was sent to Buffalo and began processing on August 19, 2010. We were still waiting for my partner's FBI report and had the RPRF outstanding, but medical and everything else was complete and in the package.

On Sept. 24th our lawyer's office received a letter requesting the RPRF, with phrasing that read "In order to conclude your relative's application abroad the RPRF is required..." In actuality our lawyer had sent it, along with my spouse's FBI results, the week prior - just passing each other in the mail.

On Oct. 5th we got confirmation from CPC-M that all of our fees had been paid and Buffalo had been notified. We kinda took the wording and the request for the RPRF to mean we were in the home stretch, even though they hadn't seen his FBI results at that point. That was the last thing we've heard, and our file remains "In Process" on e-CAS. Buffalo has had all required documents/fees for our application since Oct. 5th.

Knowing every case is different and you can never truly predict, what do you think is a decent estimate to get our RPP? Anyone have any knowledge as to what process is happening now? I had read the request for RPRF came near the end of the process once they were sure landed status would be granted. But since they didn't have his FBI report when this request was made, it makes us wonder if we've got many months still to wait.

Any opinions are welcomed. Thanks all!

Is now a permanent resident!! We landed at the Prescott/Ogdensburg POI..

Landing Experience: We first drove across the bridge into the U.S. to flagpole to land back in Canada. The Canada side is far nicer than the U.S. side. Anyway,we just had to do a U-turn then handed us a yellow slip and parked and went inside. They only asked a few questions verifying things on the COPR and it was painless. I was done in about 10 min. Overall it was very easy experience and so relieved that it is over

Haha, good one Dralon  Wink

I'm approaching 8 months...I think my heart hardens a little every time I read the forum and see that somebody landed after 2 months. It's sad because I'm usually such a caring, and understanding person. This process could really take ones sanity  Tongue

Well, I officially landed yesterday and it was super easy! I had to import a car, a pet, and all my stuff so I had no "goods to follow" list. No one ever came to look at my car, never opened the truck to check anything out, and they actually told me to leave my cat in the tr and not to bring her in to customs and they never even looked at her vet paperwork.  Overall, a simple and painless procedure.

Well to keep you up to date again fighting with the person that answered me i finally got the answer that they sent the CSQ again on Nov 30th.  Now i cannot believe how some people at Quebec immigration are jerks

the 1st call The lady was nice
the 2nd call i made the guy was clueless and told me to wait
the 3rd one the guy was a jerk i almost lost my temper.. he told me the department to send the paper was overloaded
the 4th one She was nice and felt bad that it had not been done
the 5th one was also a jerk but i got what i wanted

Sorry to say but why all the guys were clueless or jerks and the ladies are helpful... anyway i am building up a case once everything is done
i am filing formal complaints on both immigrations... they piss me so much
