Hmm doesn't it feel like Bufallo has been pretty stingy with PPR this past couple of weeks? <Twiddling thumb>

My ecas changed either yesterday or today... after getting the personal phone call the other day stating I needed to pay the RPRF. I received the letter via email the same day asking for the RPRF. I went online the next day paid the last fee and faxed the Satelite office my receipt (Seattle) . I then mailed them a hard copy . Do I have to mail a copy to Buffalo or Mississauga if my file is not there??

Also when they updated the ecas it now states:

"We received NAME HERE application for permanent residence on November 7, 2011.

We started processing NAME HERE application on February 9, 2012.

Medical results have been received. "

Second question... Do they ever put that the FBI records / crimminal record check is done? I have a second Criminal record check that just arrived today in the mail that I was planning on sending them. ( The first ones we attached where done in May and we sent our complete package in Nov. Immigration wants you to send the crim record check within three months. ) Any ideas?? seeing they just asked us to pay the RPRF I am not sure if they would need it or not.

Hang in there.

Well I have reached the one year mark with no word at all from Buffalo.
You're not alone on the 1yr mark... I think we have the same officer reviewing our files.

Allow me to introduce myself... I've been quietly watching, and reading in the background. Hoping to be one of the lucky ones to finally get the "elusive" PPR.

Applied: Jan 2011
Package sent back to us (forgot 1 form): Feb 2011
Sponsor approved Mar 2011

Ecas says Buffalo received/meds received: Mar 24, 2011
Ecas change to "In Process": Sept 2011
Ecas changed back to Buffalo received/meds received: Sept 2011

Never received AOR email or letter.

Buffalo never responded to ANY of my, or my lawyer's, requests for a shred of info on progress on my file.
(Oct 2011 - email, Nov 2011 - fax, Jan 2012 - email)

Patiently waiting..... Still.....

WOW...so sorry to hear you have been waiting so long :(.....What do you think they are taking their time with? Do you have kids? divorced previously? just curious if your case is a routine Application or if you have some complications.....(please note i do not mean to say kids are a complication in anyway) ;D

I wondered what happened to e-Cas once I landed. Just got two cute emails from the tracker:


Latest update:

"You entered Canada at the Pacific Highway Traffic Operations CBSA office
on January 21, 2012 and became a Permanent Resident."

And
According to e-CAS, it looks like you (or the person you sponsored) has now
entered Canada and become a permanent resident.

Congratulations, and welcome to Canada!

Lucky you and that is cute indeed. That e-cas tracker definetely made the process more enjoyable for me, although I can't believe I just called immigrating through Buffalo "enjoyable." I haven't gotten an update like that though.
