Congrats, Purconi! Wish u fast meds and ppr!)

Small question: do u have in ur ecas recent remark "Your application was reviewed and we started processing" (like I did on Oct 27, 2011) or u had this "transfer email" as the first update since ur e-cas changed to IN PROCESS (I assume we all had that change about half a year ago)?
Just wondering if this remark in my file means that my file stays in Buffalo..

There is no change in my e-case status.It is still the same (Buffalo,IN PROCESS with RBVO details).
I received this email today only.
When they (IF) changed anything i will tell you.

I got the below response on my recent status enquiry... just as an FYI

"CIC is working to closely manage arrivals in Canada, so that we meet, but do not exceed the immigration levels plan set by Parliament last fall for 2011. Since we have larger inventories than room within the immigration plan for admissions to Canada, we must stagger the review of applications throughout the year. We do not anticipate that we will begin to process federal skilled worker applications from February 2010 during the current calendar year. Canadian Consulate General, Buffalo New York"

Thank you Anne55!

I am happy to see any progress in my case but it could be better however!
Seattle is the slowest satellite visa office in US.Almost the same story like for Buffalo.
But who knows!

I ordered my CAIPS again two weeks ago.Last time they did not calculated my points.They gave me only 10.points for age.I am still IN PROCESS with RBVO details.
