Buffalo PPR timelines?

[pdo]

did anyone else on here get a PPR from Buffalo in late April or early May? I sent mine in May 3, was hoping to have back by now, but fear the Buffalo closure is going to back the whole process up a long time. Would love to hear other people's experiences. I emailed Ottawa and just got a blanket, reply telling me to refer to the CIC bulletin about the closure.

Hi,
I mailed my passport to Buffalo on May 07 and after that I haven't heard anything
Yesterday my status changed to decision made.

they probably have forwarded it to Detroit for stamping that's why it is taking longer than usual.

My turned to decision made about a week and a half after sending. But i also didn't send my actual passport, instead copies of all pages, which was an option in the instructions i received.

When I got my PPR from Buffalo I sent it right before Good Friday, and it took the entire fifteen business days to get my passport back. Expect it to take three weeks at least. Believe it or not this is the easiest part of the process - they don't request your passport unless they are going to issue you your permanent residency so deep breaths and try to keep yourself busy in the meantime. The end is in sight!
