Buffalo's processing time

[Sinbad]

Hey Sept, I just got on to see what's going on and saw your note. I will call them tomorrow for sure and will update everyone... you know my US PR is also approved and now I have to pay the fees, it hurts tho and I was a bit reluctant to do it 'cause of the situation in US. But I think I will do it just in case ( I have to pay 1,212 US$) ouch.. I haven't done so but what do you think....my brothers and sisters live there .... share your thoughts...

Hi superboy,
I would like to answer the question,if you dont mind. US is a much better country in all respects, expect health care. US is cheaper, standard of living is much better, everything is cheap(atleast in Tx), customer is the king. Milk in Tx costs $1 for 1 gallon for atleast 3 months in a years other wise $2, chicken is < $2 for skinless boneless chicken for a pound (every single thing is cheaper sometimes by 50% than in Canada), housing prices are cheaper, roads are bigger, drivers are courteous,the list goes on and on. But, all this is valid only if u are a healthy person with good health insurance. If you are over 50 years of age,or/and has health problems, stay in Canada. But get green card for ur kids, come what may. Work out in such a way that ur kids get US and Canadian citizenship/ or citizenship of one and pr of another.

Yes, these are the things I've been thinking about. I lived in California for 2 years and I can compare pricewise everything is cheaper then here in Canada, so I will make the final decision soon...Thanks though this is good info Sinbad, you brought up very good things to my mind....

To superboy and sept 15, and people who are stilling waiting for PR cards,

I just called the CIC hotline and the lady told me my cards are still under processing... not yet done! It takes longer than regular time because there are too many cards being processed.. She doesn't know when it will be finished as well.
I will call them again by the end of May if I still cannot get it.

HELLO ALL, Need a help/advise. I sent my passport to Buffalo visa office on Tuesday. Actually I shipped it to their Fort Erie address. It reached fort Erie yesterday, Thursday. When I sent my package I added feature for receiver to sign off. It is Friday already and nobody from Buffalo visa office went and pick-it up the package. Should I give more time or was a signature request a bad idea? Any suggestions what should I do?

 

[ae03yy]

I guess i should join this group of stuck in process.... I too rec'd the email which states there's none i can do and to keep correspondence to minimum. Do you think it's because we havent done RCMP? is it better if we do it now or what?

 

[sept15]

super & 4mfamily - our cards were mailed today... friday the 20th. thanks.
