Actually Buffalo does not insist on the date stamp on the back of photos or does it say so in your instructions? When I went to Buffalo 2 weeks ago I just gave them pictures that I took and printed at home (epassportphotos.com) and didn't write anything on the back. It's the other consulates...

Cece, Christo....is right.... You don't have to list every month separately. They just don't want to see any gaps between activities. Say you turned 18 in June 2000, you can say something like: June 2000-Aug 2000.... preparing for college, Santiago, Chile, (Parent's address) Aug 2000-May...

Hi chigirl, Congratulations on your visa stamping. Is it possible you were in Buffalo (HSBC) on Tuesday morning and not yesterday (Wednesday)? Cos if you were there on Tuesday then I think I saw you, I was right behind you...assuming that was you :) Good luck with landing and settling. I am...

Yes it is. You can google the CIC website and check out the requirements for different provinces. Good luck!

Oooooh...OK. Makes sense now. It will happen soon I am sure. All the best with landing and settling in Alberta:-)

You can land from anywhere as long as you have your visa:-)

Thank you much. They started processing on November 8, 2010

Thanks Lee26. I am in Chapel Hill, NC. I was actually expecting a file transfer but was pleasantly surprised. Yeah, our timelines are pretty similar...Jacaranda's is also same as mine. You'll get yours soon God-Willing. And NO, I don't think making enquiries on your status has any effect on...

Thanks Joe...my ecas still says "In Process...We started processing your application on November, 8 2010". My address has however been absent since Tuesday and honestly I don't know if that means anything at all. I mailed my application on June 15 and it was received on June 17, 2010.

Hi guys, today I got my PPR from Buffalo via email. My timeline is on the left. I don't know when my medicals were received in Ottawa (I've never sent an enquiry to Ottawa/Buffalo) but the doctor mailed them out on November 22, 2010. I plan to do in-person stamping next week. Will keep this...
