Hi Mark:

Great news for you, Congratz ;D, could you please say what state you live in?
Also, how did you update them, if by email, which address did you use?
Thanks,
Cam

Thanks Rod.

It feels good to actually have something happen. I'm sure that everyone has the same lingering fear that their file will just get skipped over like many of the pre-June 26 2010 apps were. I am certainly relieved!

What's one to expect after transfer from BVO to Local VO as far as timeline, etc.? I never really paid much attention to it, as it didn't seem like it was ever anything that would happen to me.

Mark

Congratulations,
Medical in on the way

Canadestin,

I pay these every month.
Rent: 2 bed room condo: 1400/month
Mobile(s) - 2: 60/month
Insurance: 35/family (corporate insurance: medical and dental. OHIP covers every thing. I dont know how much if OHIP doesnt cover)
Internet/TV: 35/month + 15/month (Telugu channels only).
Petrol: 100/month(i dont use car for work)
Go Train Pass: 167/month
Grocerries: 500~600 Approx
License: Ontario (Some times they exchange the license which costs about 100$ only.) - This is one time fees.

Thanks,
satya.

Hold on.. if I have understood your message correctly, they sent you an update (file transferred) only after you gave an update to them on your file.

You sent an email on Jan 24th and they sent a reply saying your file is transferred on Jan 10.. Does this mean, they are not sending an update unless you ask for it??

Satya.

You are correct. I would never have known unless I had sent an email to BVO.

Thanks! I hope so.

Mari,

Are CEC applications processed in Ottawa ? I was under the impression that visa offices handle them.

 

[mew2k10]

Hi,
is your e-cas 'in process' now?

Nope. ECas still RBVO and, "We received your application for permanent residence on October 14, 2010.

We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on February 10, 2011. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us."

Ok. I also sent my daughter's birth certificate and reminded them my old address was still showing on e-cas, they updated it to the new one after a couple of hours - but I am still RBVO too.

There is a special thread for Buffalo >> NY transfers, you might want to follow that thread as well to see everyone's timeline, but it looks that med request is happening within a month of the transfer.

Thanks Cam! I'm in Birmingham, AL. Updated them via email - buffalo-im-enquiry @ international.gc.ca

Thank you Mark, so technically Detroit would have been a better VO for you than NY, I mean it is somewhat closer. I don't understand how they choose which VO to send the applications to. One would think the VO that is closest to the applicant, in case there is an interview. So many things make no sense at all

By the way Buffalo friends what is the difference with these two email addresses. Some people get contacted by one and others by the other, anyone have a clue??
