Even though it got returned; it will not waste much time. One of my colleagues had same experience in CEC category and he actually received his AOR/MR after 6 months from his first application. Besides, it seems lot faster than before re: processing. So, noone can assume how long it will take. So, keep alert!!!
I hope that I will be just as lucky as your friend. It is interesting and rather surprising when I am able to process my ECAS with my Client ID. Having said that, I am not able to process my ECAS with the Receipt number which I found on the back of the bank draft when they withdrew the money on October 4th.
Thanks for your reply Rossei...
Certianly will I stay alert and hope for something to happen soon,
Regards,

So, you were one of the Oct, 2010 applicants. Congrats!!!

Could you fill out the forum info on your profile that will show up on left? People may miss your this particular post; but will be able to see your processing timings from wherever you posted before. Thanks.
Hi Rossei,

I was nominated as Manitoba PNP. I am a citizen of Philippines and currently working in USA. I just cannot decide where to file my application whether in Manila or Buffalo. Please guide me where is better to send my application because some of the post I red was their application is taking alomost 2 years. Thank you for your time

friends as I had received my AOR/Medicals from OttPilot-Immigration, Ottawa; where Buffalo told me my further correspondence will be with Ottawa RPC, Two days before now I received an e-mail from "Canadian Consulate General Buffalo-Immigration Section" requesting me for Fingerprint check. I am bit confused about the address to be provide to RCMP ??? as in the e-mail Buffalo has written IMPORTANT: ENSURE THAT YOUR IMMIGRATION FILE NUMBER AND OUR OFFICE ADDRESS APPEARS ON YOUR FINGERPRINT FORM.

So which office address they are talking about here??? Did they mean Ottawa office or Buffalo??? :-\ and which Immigration file no. should I provide to fingerprinting agency to be written on forms?? the one starts with B or EP ??

Please guide me.. Thanks

I would say Buffalo.... because that is ur visa office... And file # is B... EP is application #.... its just for correspondence..

thanks sinpguy... but my eCas only works by using either ClientID or Application# which starts with EP ... I'm unable to login by using PaperFile# starting with letter B ... So can I assume my file number as the one starts with EP??

If that is the case u should email them immediately. Also try calling Canadian call centre. I heard some members here who had their file transferred to Ottawa and call centre giving info to them. But from wat I undstnd file# must be B cos thats what doctors use in medical forms too.

I just sent them an email and hoping to get their reply on monday/tuesday. Even I called call centre today and the lady told me they normally dont have any information even if Buffalo has sent your file to ottawa as still they both uses the same systems which is different from the one call centre uses :-X, If I do remember you also got same e-mail like me from ottpilot, ottawa?? which I think is not pretty much similar in text that others has received with more clear text about their file transfer to Ottawa :-X ...and I dont think that buffalo has transferred my file to Ottawa and its still with Buffalo :D ..

Hello Rossie,
As far as i know from one of my friend who has got his PR, It took for him nearly 8 months to get PPR and within 3 weeks he got back his passport stamped. I am also on the boat as you do, I have done medical on Sept. 6, 2011 and it was forwarded to Ottawa on Sept. 12, 2011 according to DMP. Now, I am not hoping it will be done pretty soon and can do nothing about it BUT to wait. Good luck to all of us and patience is a pivotal key at this moment. :D

Keep looking into your e-CAS as it normally says when Buffalo receives your medical. e-CAS doesn't always reflect what Buffalo is doing with your file; but you have no other choice. I wish you good luck.

Hey Rossie,

Your right. I have received my AOR and MR last week via the CPP-Ottawa. I have also done my medical and waiting for the results to be sent to Ottawa. It seems to me that there have been a lot of people having their cases transferred to Ottawa.
