Buffalo office is retarded

We have requested background information from other government
offices(s). Unfortunately, we cannot provide a date when the processing
of your application will be complete.

Please note: we have received a copy of your FBI police certificate.
Please send us the original; copies are not acceptable.


Canadian Consulate General Buffalo

Immigration Section

I never mailed a copy i only mailed original. They confirmed they had it

We have requested background information from other government
offices(s). Unfortunately, we cannot provide a date when the processing
of your application will be complete.

Your FBI police certificate was received September 20, 2010.

Now they need the original?

That's ridiculous! The original certificate will produce the photocopy saying "not authorized copy" or something similar.

So they confirmed the receipt of the FBI certificate on Sept 20 and they asked for an original later? I am confused ???

Maybe you can e-mail them telling that you did mail the original and attach the letter of them saying that they indeed received it on Sept 20.

They also confirmed receipt of our first certificate and then asked for us to send one 4 days later....

@giggles idk y i feel like thats not true 80% of applicants get it within 1-3 months so 4 months is a lie its probably from Canada to Buffalo i refuse to believe it lol

@michael im emailing them a copy of my receipt and confirmation the day they received it with the buffalo sticker on it.

@heatherusa did they ever confirm with you that they made a mistake and they have the new one now?
