It's past 15 business days and buffalo has still not sent the passport back (the enclosed usps express return envelop tracking # is still not showing up on the usps website). We are really worried that they lost the passport! Has anyone experienced that?

This is why upon receiving the PPR letter from Buffalo, I'll be buying a flight or driving (10 hours) to have it stamped in person.  I don't trust my passport floating around.

I hope you hear something soon The Fanatics.  Can you email/call them to see what's up?  I think you can phone too, that's what someone did to find out when they could come by in-person to have their passport stamped.

We did sent them an email early this week and this the their reply:

Due to large volumes received, we will not reply to status inquiries for a minimum of 30 days from receipt in our office.

Maybe there was a delay due to the massive snowstorm...but it's causing a lot of stress Cry

OMG Today I got my PPR!!! After going through my emails like crazy everyday, but this week I was kind of down and stopped checking as much, I checked 2 times today and nothing then I came back just now, I clicked the inbox a whole bunch of crap, then I clicked spam a whole bunch of crap too but an email addressed from Buffalo Smiley saying:

Dear Applicant:

 

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada .  We are now in a position to request your passports for visa issuance. 

 

Please submit your passport(s) and photos within the next 30 days.  The issuance of your visa(s) is time sensitive so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) as requested.

How far are you from Buffalo?

We live around a 10 hour drive too. We read quite a few posts and thought mailing the PP to B'lo looks okay, plus we included the express return envelop hoping that it will help secure the process. Sad

FeeFee still to need to mail your passport to Buffalo so they can put the VISA in it.  From there you can either flagpole at a border or if there is no close border you can book an apppointment at a local office.

Sadatul,

Well my husband and I had the same issue when we were filling out the form, so when we called the Canadian customer service # they told us since we were 22 and 23 to just give all the info from 18 years of age and older and if I remember correctly each state you lived in so yes you filled it out right!
