Hello everyone.
I know chances are less but I am trying to track down peoples experience in applying to Buffalo near December 1, 2011! My file hasn't still been transferred. I am a little concerned as my Draft hasn't been en-cashed as well. If anyone has had their file transferred from Buffalo to CIO - Sydney, NS because of the change in rules please post your experience here.

Thank you.

I sent my package to buffalo on Nov 29th, 2011; and was signed by someone on next day, the last day of new policy does not affect!!

I contacted BC PNP office regarding this issue, they told me it should be fine, but they told me that let me give 5-8 months to CIC for the initial response!!!!!

My bank draft was cashed on Jan 25th, 2012.
But have not any response from CIC office yet..
E status does not work...

anything from you ?

I sent my application in early November and I am now able to access e-cas and it says "We received your application for permanent residence on November 14, 2011.". My draft was cashed on January 11th.

It seems that late October/November applicants have been caught in a bit of a hole due to both the holidays and the new policy regarding PR applications. I am fairly confident that our group should begin receiving AOR very soon.

I just wanted to update everyone in this thread that I got my AOR on February 28th from CPP-Ottawa. I think the rest of November applicants can expect AORs soon!

Also, I was able to access e-cas for about two weeks before I got an AOR by using my Client ID number as Bull said.

Good Day guys:

I applied for PR under New Brunswick PNP. I received a letter from New Brunswick PNP office issued on 14th Nov 2011 that my nomination has been accepted and file has been forwarded to Buffalo visa office. I haven't hear anything since then from Buffalo. Also, I tried to check my application status using client ID, but it does not work. Did anyone apply around 20 November 2011 as I think that's when my file reached Buffalo.

Did you include '-' in your client ID when you check your application status online.

Thanks.

Hi newbrunswicker,

I was able to access e-cas about a week or two before I got my AOR, but I am not sure this is typical. I was also using my client ID with the - included.

I had received an email from buffalo on January 17, 2012. They had asked me to justify gaps. I did send an email back. My bank draft was cashed on Feb 21, 2012. I received my AOR form buffalo yesterday.

But I cant access my account on Ecas.
