File transfer from Buffalo- New york visa office- share timeline

[sicko86]

Just want to share my experience from PPR to landing. I was out of Canada when the request arrived.

09 Jan 2012 - Received passport request by email (also by postal mail). I send email to NYVO asking for an appointment on 27Jan2012 for visa stamping.
25 Jan 2012 - Arrived in Canada from Madagascar (29 hours total travel time). Arrived in Toronto around 9:30pm
26 Jan 2012 - drove from Toronto to NYVO. US boarder gave me up to 30Jan2012 to stay in US since my work permit will expire on the 31Jan2012
27Jan2012 - I was in NYVO office before 8:00am. I was the second to be processed. The visa officer gave me a appointment letter to get back 1:00pm to pick-up the passports. I went back on the said time and waited for at least 1 hour. The officer gave me all documents required to do landing process.
28Jan 2012 - Drove back to Toronto early in the morning. Arrived in Lewiston bridge aroung 3:30pm. I told the officer I want to process the landing. He gave me a yellow paper and asked me to go the the office. I gave all documents and the officer asked the following questions:
1. what is my present address in Canada
2. contact no. in Canada
3. any proof of financial status either employment certificate, bank statements or payslip

Since there are five of us, it took around 45 mins. for the officer to complete the COPR. I signed in behalf of my children.
The officer congratulates us and explain the obligation of a PR which is to be in Canada for 2 years out of 5 years. The officer also explained to process the SIN and OHIP.

2 years from now will be the Citizenship!

After 2.5 years of waiting, I finally got the immigrant status. This forum really helped me a lot. Thanks for all the people who shared their experience. Goodluck to us all!!!

I Landed at Lewiston bridge Yesterday as well

Kurt,
Many congratulations !

So you are saying it is possible to get Stamping done at NYVO in person. Did you send an email to NYVO requesting for VISA stamping in person?

Congratulations again!

Hello gkhaira,

Are you in US or Canada? If you are in either of these countries, you don't have to worry about creating corporate a/c for FEDEX or UPS. Regular Mail through US post office or the Canadian Postal Service is sufficient but if you've doubts get a tracking number, it will give you comfort and you can track your mail. But if you are outside Canada or USA, I have no idea how FEDEX OR UPS works. Sorry.
As for me, I sent my passport through US post office via regular mail. The Canadian Consulate will return through the same. You don't have to worry about anything. Just make sure that you have your address correct when you send them your personal affidavit.
Best of Luck!!

Thanks for response Krae, I am in Canada... I have sent my PP using FedEx, I have sent it by creating a personal account on FedEx. I hope it should not be a problem and hope to get it back. BTW, how long do it takes for VO to send it out once they receive the passport...

Please advise,

I got MR on sep 16 th. According to the tracking number given by my DMP Medicals reached Ottawa on oct 28 th . It's been more than 4 months now from the Medicals requested date. When I asked for the status of my file I got a reply saying in queue and will recieve instructions shortly. It's been a month now from the date of this reply. Do I need to send an email again ? Do I need to be concerned? Everyone else on this forum with the sane time frame got PPR's already as far as I know. Please suggest.

Have you travelled to many countries or worked in army or from a country which reqires deeper security back-ground checks? Else, order CAIPS/GCMS to know what is happening with your file.

Hey AC

Did you see the request for another medical for your wife, they must have stated reason to redo it.

If not I would inquire with the DMP if the report sent, was alright. Just for info thou.

I would go for another medical ASAP. Not much you can do right now but to send another one.

Good Luck

Thanks buddy,

Since we can not open the envelope I can not determine what is inside .. scary..

anyways I asked my agent to send that report directly to DMP so that he can open and guide us if we need to visit him again.. only trouble is we need to make a long journey from here again..

will keep you guys posted..

Cheers,
