Who applied under FSW-3 ? Any international student or temporary worker ?

@Maug: As far I know you must stay atleast 1 year immediately before you apply.

Hi I am also in this category, there is very little information about it.

My timeline so far
Submitted Application to Sydney - October 15
Recieved email from CIC Sydney - December 18

Right now I am just finalising documents to be sent to Buffolo.

My work permit is expire and I am worried about getting an LMO - Do you know if you have to reside as a worker/student for the duration of the permanent process? Or can I stay in Canada as a visitor.....

Hi there, how is it going on now? I am curious as my post-graduate work permit is going to expire soon too. Can any senior explain a bit about this issue?

My Timeline:
Doc sent to CIO: Sep 2, 2009
AOR from CIO:Nov 2, 2009
Sent full doc to Buffalo on 25 Nov 2009.
AOR from Buffalo: 30 Dec 2009.
Status changed from 'Received.....' to 'In Process' on May 24, 2010.
It says 'Your application was reviewed and we started processing on May 21'
My file has not been transferred to another VISA office. So processing at Buffalo.

Is there anyone whose file was processed at Buffalo?
Want to know how long does it take from STATUS change( received to in process) in ECAS to MEDICAL request?
