Fact is it's hard tell ..
But technically , Buffalo vo office count a day when they received full application. I believe it's also depends which NOC you have.
Dont worry have some patience..Look at my time line..
One good news for us that" CIC now accepting less no of new applications and same time giving more time to process older application. Because they want to clear backlog." that's what canadian immigration ministry said.

Hi John,

I bet on the time that Buffalo receiving the document. in your case Jun., 23, 2010.

this is my way of calculation.

1: go to the Net and check the official quarterly updated time line for the Visa Office ( for Buffalo is 23 months now ). this time will updated every three month.

2:approximately 19 months( Quarterly updated time mines 4 or 5 months) after the time that they received the document( Jun. 23th) they will issue the MR. please check your ECAS. if you have already received the message "the file was reviewed and we started processing your file" , I think you will receive your MR very soon.

3: approximately 4 to 6 months after MR (if we don't waste the time for doing MR) they will ask for PPR.

these are the recent average time lines for FSW2 in Buffalo Visa Office and may change case by case. in a nut shell the average time for Normal FSW2 cases are 23 to 25 months.

I hope you will find these information useful.
these are based just on my experience and also talking to the other guys that have recently finished this Marathon.

don't worry. take a back seat and enjoy your life. there is really nothing to do.

please let me know if you need any other information.

Merry early Christmas.

Hi Vitaliy,
Have you ever checked your E-cas recently? do you know that Buffalo have chashed your RPRF or not?
we are in the same boot and I am trying to figure out the time line after MR for Buffalo.
my estimation is two or three months.

Thanks,
GZ
