Hi Guys... Just want to share this letter from Ottawa...



Thank you for your message of 03 October 2012 concerning the application for permanent residence.

Your file has only recently been transferred from the former Visa Office in Buffalo to this office in Ottawa for processing and it represents only one of thousands of files that we need to integrate into our own workload and this process will take several months to realize fully. Nevertheless, we are actively reviewing files on an ongoing basis to ensure that priority be given to those clients whose files have been transferred from Buffalo and whose applications were submitted at an earlier date than those who have applied more recently to our Department. You can rest assured that we are making every effort to offer fair treatment to all our clients, on a first-come, first-served basis.

I note that the processing of your file is actually well advanced. Medical results have already been received. The validity of these results will be extended, if necessary, to provide a sufficiently long period of time to enable you to obtain permanent residency before the expiration of their validity.

We will be reviewing your file in the next several weeks and I anticipate that we should be in a position to finalize the file within the next several months, provided you have complete documentation with your application forms, as set out in the application checklist. An officer will be in contact with you in due course. In the meantime, I would ask for patience during this transition period.
@bear1919 Please share your timeline.

This letter looks very promising for Buffalo transfers however I don't like these words "next several months"
in the letter. I want my PR by November otherwise lot of things are going to get screwed in my life.

one of my friend (Applied in June) working got reply from Ottawa today inwhich they clearly asked him to wait for 16 months...they said timeline for processing in ur category is 16 months. however when he got his medical call they wrote in that AOR that processing time is 10 months -----I am assuming they now started concentrating on 2011 applicants ---

O Well, there is nothing that can done than wait I guess! The positive sign is atleast they are looking into 2011 applicants' file and requesting documents. We should hopefully hear something soon!
