BUFFALO APPLICANTS - File transferred to other VO due to Buffalo closing down

[sharuu]

Its been almost 22 months for me (including the PNP nomination time frame). I have given up opportunities in States and in other provinces. I haven't applied in CEC application stream. Thought I will get the PR in a year. That's how the norm was. Now immigration Canada closed down the Buffalo to restructure the immigration process so it would be faster. What I have seen--- there is no single activities in my file since January. I have bound my fate with this PNP application. My life could be different if I have chosen a different path. I have already invested 4 years into this and 22 months of waiting. I have paid huge amount of taxes. Some people working in states or other countries getting visa faster than me. I don't have any grudge against them. But is it a fair policy to me? 2012 applicants may have a different time line to process. But bringing down buffalo office and delaying 10 months in my file, is it fair?

CIC should have set a priority on our files, rather than giving a year to process. Why would a visa officer process a file voluntarily before the set target date? They will process the November/December 2011 files to meet targets and get their bonuses/promotions. I don't blame them. Is Min. Kenney/CIC is doing a fair practice to us? I don't think so.

So if we don't see any updates/PPR for July transfer cases by November 7 (July 7- Nov 7, 4 months) I think we should send a petition to Min. Kenney's dept.

These are my two cents.

So, are you planning to move to another province once a PR to seek better opportunities?

Today I got my new WP, closed for 2 years. My wife got WP as well.

Applied in July 26 via their online system and took about 8 weeks.

Nop, I feel comfortable here. I have mentioned that to emphasize my tie with the PNP program. Anyway this is irrelevant for present context. Past is something you can look back and cherish. Regretting is not the solution. I really hope this long waiting will end soon.

There is way too much desperation, this will make life go crazy if we literally count hours, etc. This is immigration and it takes time. Just relax a let 2-3 months go by...you will be surprised to find the good news down the line.

The best way to look at it is to forget about it for a few months more....

one more day to go! from 7.30am to 5pm

btw i found the application assignment due date, which was 26th July 2012, the day they've added "current mailing address" on my Ecas...
thats the latest date i could find.... just wanted to mention....

After you!

Same day bro ;D

Its not that easy to let it go at this point, people on this thread have all crossed 15 months waiting time. After 15 months are over, its tough to let time go by!
