I have seen on this thread that it is better to send the passport via FedEx, do we also send a prepaid envelop for the return and how is it done? What do I request for exactly at the FedEx office? Please help!

Use Canada-post Express. It costs 38$, they will give you two envelops, one for sending the passport and the second one for returning it, the second will be embedded in the first one.

I did that when i applied for Visa at Detroit

ok this is very weird, I was out of town and just checked my mailbox. Buffalo sent me a single bar code (same as the ones we receive with our AORs) and a receipt for the fees I paid dated the day they received my file. Did anybody else get this? Any idea guys?

Weird fairooz but I haven't. Buffalo must be acting wierd... what else to expect from them!!

Anyways make sure you read the email properly, it might just be a request for Passport. Read it carefully and look for clues like "passport" and "request".

Or else send them an email asking "what's that?". Who knows, they might answer w/ PPR. This is given they get their sense back in order :)

Also, I think this week we'll see the new timeframe for Federal processing. We are indeed in Q4 and I'm about to celebrate 13 months since I sent my app.

Hello all, just to inform you guys that I completed my landing yesterday by land at st bernard de lacolle border. Drove to the US border and made a u turn to the Canadian border post after seeing the US immigration.

Wish everyone still expecting the best of luck.

Ah my sister I wish they had emailed me :) All they sent was a sheet of paper with my barcode in the front and the receipt printed in the back. No other text, instructions or anything. I sometimes think Buffalo is teasing and testing us to see just how badly we want this PR :D Ah well, nothing worth having is easy to get right?

Congrats Que100 on your landing and all the best for a bright future ahead! :)

Hi, guys,

After the medical exam, do we need to mail the receipt of the ME to Buffalo or Ottawa?

Thanks.
