The only movement at Buffalo VO in the last three months, I have noticed is that status of few applicants has changed from RBVO to In Process. Buffalo is dead slow. My 17 months from the date they recd complete application will be up in Aug 2011, but I have no hope of completing the process by that time. CIC always has new surprises in store to slowdown the process, such as announcing new fast track system with 39 occupation is 2008, changing it to 29 occupation in 2010, replacing CAIPS with GCMS, staggering issuance of visas to limit the entry of new immigrants into Canada, new list/regulations to be announced in 2011 and now some "Canada Based Immigration Officers" at Visa Offices worldwide will change during summer relocation time (approx 1/3 of the total strength during May-Aug). Some unlucky applicants will suffer because of change in VO handling their files and our miseries will continue....Despite all this, we will continue with our hope to realize our Canadian dreams.
Guys,
Wana share my experience - I had been to Buffalo VO in Dec 2010 (to get my TRV stamping), I had received my 2nd AOR from Buffalo on 17 Sep 2010.
I did enquire the officer who was processing my TRV on the status of my PR appln, she looked up in the system and mentioned "your security checks is thru, you will receive medicals soon". On 22 Feb 2011 my status changed to "In Process" on e-CAS, also consulted a lawyer who used to work at Canada Consulate. With all relevant data I think medical request will come soon (sometime in March 2011)
