Applications filed through NS --> Buffalo (Filed from USA)

[garian4u]

Hi Garian,
In my case I had sent both the RPRF and medicals together. Ihad checked with my bank and they told me that he cashiers cheque has not yet been encashed. So I contacted the NY office asking them if everything was oka and were there any issues with the cheque and is that why things are getting delayed? So they responded back by saying that the medicals and fee has been received and made no further indications; so, I assume, everything would be okay on the cheque front.
Just hang in there, these things take time...lately, it has started taking a longer time...hopefully we will get good news soon.

Well technically, you can't send the medicals They are directly sent by the DMP. So, I understand your point, and I did the same, that is sent the medical receipts and RPRF together. They reached Buffalo on 21st July, check was encashed 26th July. Medicals reached Ottawa from the DMP on 3rd Aug. The e-mail communication which I recently initiated with Buffalo, was not helpful , but I persisted and asked the question twice. On the 2nd attempt, here's the reply that I got:

Yes, we have received the results of your medical exam.
Your application is in process. We are unable to provide a date when the processing of your application will be complete.

My understanding is that Ottawa sent Buffalo the results after their medical board reviewed it (standard process). However, looking at the reply, it looks like more background checks are on for me. So, can't say when the process will get over.

I got my PPR yesterday i.e 13-Sep. I am relieved now. I will send the Passports tomorrow as I need to get 2 additional sets of photographs.
In my case the e-Cas was updated on 10-Aug. It seems that yours and my timelines are quite similar.

Congrats WaitingForPR_09, keep the ball rolling ;D Looks good, if we have some movement every week. Wish, Buffalo could pick up a bit, and match NY timelines

@ garian....stop worrying.....sometimes they dont want to respond.....
acc 2 me...it doesnt matter...like in your case they received medical so fast.....they will take their time for BCs.....in my case dmp told me that they will send after 4 weeks.... ..you can crosscheck from your dmp and can get the tracking number to confirm if your package is delivered......
i was so worried also....but in my case they encashed my draft after all BCs ...i mean when they were going to finalize my application......
relax...wait for ppr...will be soon

roopa82, thanks. I had requested my DMP for a FedEx courier to Ottawa, and paid extra 57 bucks for it. So, I have the tracking number, that's how I know for sure that my package was delivered to Ottawa on 3rd Aug. I want to confirm if the results (after verification by Ottawa's medical board) have reached Buffalo or not. If I go by the fact that, draft is encashed after BCs, then mine should have completed before July 26th ;D However, the latest reply from Buffalo shows that BC is still on, as there is no PPR although they have received medical results from Ottawa. :'(

 

[garian4u]

It's kindda strange,when i did my medicals the dmp didn't give me any tracking no.
when i asked for it he said they don't give any,they send bunch of files all together like 20 some...
so iam not sure if anybody ever had the same experience..or is it little unusual...

torontonian2010, not unusual. All DMPs are different and have their own rules. You can't do much about it, apart from trying.

Hi,

How much time does it take for the ecan status to chnage as medical received after the medicals are done. I completed my medicals on AUG 31 st.

Thanks

Will tell you, if anything changes for me. I did my medicals on 19th July, still no change to "medicals received", although they have confirmed that they have received medicals.

Hi guys,


Sorry for the long absence, i was really busy and a little frustrated.

I just received my passport request from Buffalo office via email today, i am very happy, i cannot express my feelings. it took 4 months after medicals to get the PPR.

wish you all the best of luck.

Woohhooooooo, pro1 is back, and look how the thread sprang back to life immediately. So glad for you. I just hope, mine goes a bit faster than you. My US visa expires in 2 months. If my PPR doesn't come by then, this will become complicated for me.

Hahaha, yes buy me the beggiest size of the burger please ;D

By the way, i was the only one who is landing, my couisn is a canadian citizen, and was only accopmanying me by his car, he chose voluntarily to wait with me for 2 hours. When we both got irritated from waiting, he walked to one of the USA immigration counters and asked why we are being kept for that long, they asnwered hime the following:

" Sir, you are Canadain, and you can go right away to the USA or Canada, but he cannot until we call his name and finish his procedure".

He said, no i am waiting for him to turn back together to canada, i brought him by my car, and will take him back by my car, then they said, well, you will have to wait with him until we finish his procedures.

I'm gonna give you a coke with French fries also ....
I have a feeling that you're taken care of more than it needed. If you look at the incident differently, for example: "Wow US custom finished the security check in for non-US-related person only in 2 hours, and they gave me the refusal letter right away with their lovely smile " you might not be frustrated anymore . The most important thing is to get "your thing" done. Get THE status -> it's what you want.
Congrats again, long way for me from Med Done here ....

Do not worry, based on the message you received from them, you will get your PPR so soon. I got the same message exactly from Buffalo, and after 5 days of that message, i got the PPR via email.
