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

[jits1000]

I took my study permit, off-campus work permit, proof of funds (Bank statement, printed out stamped, and signed from the bank), the passport containing the PR visa, and the conformation of permanent residence.

When i arrived to the canadian immigration officer, i gave her the passport, conformation of permanent residence, the refusal letter to enter the USA only, and asked her if she needs my study permit or work permit, she said "no i do not need all of that, just give me your proof of funds". That was it, and she did the landing procedures within 5 mins exactly.


By the way,

I did not fill in any forms, she just took my mailing address, and asked me to make a final review on the COPR to make sure that the information in it is correct such as; name spelling, mailing address, date of birth, country of birth, marital status....etc, then i was asked to sign in the available space for applicant signature in the COPR, and told me that the card will be mailed within 6 to 7 weeks.

thanks professional1 for sharing your experience

My 90 day clock was reset when my file was transferred to NY VO. They clearly mentioned it in the last line of email...

Do not request the status of your file within ninety (90) days of the date of this letter.

so I'll have to wait 15 more days. I have feeling that they will be sending me good news on my birthday in the last week of November

Hey Mark_imim, did you email and ask the VO about your case. the 90 day periods has passed, you have the right to ask now

i don't think so . You're gonna receive good news earlier, it shouldn't take that long if your application is "security clear"

Friends,

I am still awaiting my stamped passport from New York consulate. They will send it by normal post directly to my address in Canada.

Meanwhile I had a question about PoF during landing.. Since I have been working here for 4 months and have the salary slips etc, will they still expect me to show proof of the entire $14k? Honestly, I don't have that much in hand right now, used up my funds for some property investment a few months ago. I guess I have around 7-8k in the canadian bank and maybe 2-3k in a US bank.. What should I do? Any ideas?

Cheers,
A.

Hi,

Can anyone help me with a question about the timing of landing? I plan to land at either Christmas or New Year of 2011, but I heard that choosing holiday to land may incur unexpected trouble. Is it true? I have a job and don't want to quit before the landing. Is it OK for me to land during that last week of December? Thank you!

Hey there,
If all your papers are ready I don't know why you should be in a trouble for a particular time of the year you decided to move here, however, if you decided to enter with Santa ;D that maybe draw their attention but we will need him by that time anyway. Canadians are wonderful and the country is built to welcome new immigrants. Our neighbors Americans are different and that might be possible over there but not here.
Cheers,

Its still IN PROCESS...after 90 days are over, I am thinking to order CAIPS.

Be patient you are going to make it.

 

[beauhoe]

Guys,

Another suggestion....

Do you suggest me to send RPPF along with my medicals although they had not asked for it? Would it expedite the process? If you answer yes, then please explain a bit how to send it.

You can send you RPPF any time and CIC will return it to you if for some reason you did not get the visa. Send it will save you weeks in waiting room.
Cheers,

Hello everyone, it is nice to see that everyone crossing their goal line. I congratulate them who have reached their goal and I wish best of luck who are about to reach. I hope, you all will make it sooner or later.
I am little worried about my application. It has been six months that my application in Process. I applied Buffalo VO last year September 17. One month ago I wanted to know about the “status and medical request” they replied. I am posting it bellow you may get some information from their reply.
By the way I am already in Canada with study visa.

The medical forms will be sent when the application reaches the
appropriate stage in processing.

Your application is in process. We are unable to provide a date when the
processing of your application will be complete.

Regards,

Canadian Consulate General Buffalo

Be patient my friend you will get there...
