7.5kg for our documents.  Did you seriously send a 7.5 kg package  ? I'm just curious what type of evidence you sent. Mine was barely 1 kg. |

Can you the PPR package via US courrier to Buffalo, and have them ship it to your sponsor's Canadian address?
It's too expensive to fly to Buffalo this week (and it's not worth spending next week's fares from Seattle to save a couple of weeks on the COPR return).

Anyone have an opinion on sending in the copies of the passport with the docs, AND travelling to Buffalo to see if I can get it sooner with my actual passport? Would they care if I "guaranteed" myself this way, and just discard the post I sent if I obtained my COPR directly, in person?
You can't do both. Read the instructions again, but when I read them in December it was either/or. They specifically said if you sent your passport in by mail do not come in person to collect it as they will not give it to you. |

Wow, things are rolling along on here. While I still don't have PPR, I got an e-cas update from the e-cas tracker saying, "A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision."
Hmn, very unusual to get "decision made" before PPR. I'll take it though.
Fingers crosed your PPR comes by the end of the day then! |

Did you seriously send a 7.5 kg package ? I'm just curious what type of evidence you sent. Mine was barely 1 kg. HAHA~~~~ somebody was questioned about 7.5kg before as well, they thought I sent my BB in that package.  I hope I could have a BB as soon as possible. We print out all email, msn history, my blog record, bank statement, cellphone statement, photos (around 300 photos), greeting card and letters from our friends, our love story (My husband and I wrote it separately, around 13-14 pages for each one), etc. The pity thing is we just sent our additional documents to Buffalo last week, but i got the transfer email today. hope Buffalo could forwarded those docuemnts to NY, otherwise, we will send it again by fax or email. |

I'm sure they'll look at the additional documents, and be like, "what? there's more?!?" Seriously, I'm sure it'll get forwarded to NYC (which will say the same thing) and the good thing is that the satellite offices do, I believe, finalize the files sooner than Buffalo. You guys sure are thorough though. HAHA~~~~ somebody was questioned about 7.5kg before as well, they thought I sent my BB in that package. I hope I could have a BB as soon as possible.

Possibly one of the reasons I might have a decision made and no PPR is that they're going to send me the COPR directly - which I believe happened with throwmyapples. I do think that I had a copy of my passport bio-page as part of the application, so that's also why I'm thinking that. We shall see.

I think I've decided to just pay through the nose, fly to Buffalo Wednesday, visit the Consulate Office for my COPR on Thursday, and fly home Friday. I'll complete my landing docs Friday night, and meet my wife at the Pacific Highway Crossing to land. Do you generally have to notify the crossing that you are landing ahead of time and set an appointment? Or, do you just show up with your docs?
