Going by Canadian consulates (NYC) website, They are closed on NOV 25th (Thanks giving day).
Offically, they are open on Friday - Nov26th but I wouldn't be expecting them to be working on Friday. Most of them might take casual leave and enjoy the THANKS GIVING long weekeend.

Stay cool and don't get others worked up! Not sure why you are worried. Are you out of work in the US or at risk of being out of status in the US? If that's not the case, I find it pointless to fret about the status of your CIC file and the delay. Just by having your file transferred to local office doesn't mean that you have seen the end of the tunnel - my case started process in June 2010 and it's been a while since I saw any update apart from the transfer to local office. And I am not alone - quite a few are waiting.

Chin up...

My timeline is similar to yours (eCAS shows July 7 as my process-start date), and I received a letter from Buffalo last Friday, which said:

"We have now completed the initial assessment of your application, and expect to finalize your application without a personal interview. While an interview does not appear necessary at this time, we reserve the right to call you to an interview, should this become necessary at some future stage in processing."

Also, the letter confirmed the receipt of my medical results and indicated "No additional documents are required at this time."

It seems that our files may stay in Buffalo and not be transferred to local consulates.

Hi All;

I received a letter from CIC stating that " No additional documents were required ", but there was no indication of medicals received. The letter was dated 11/11.

Also, no update on Ecas

Thanks.

Has anybody else had their medicals confirmed in the letter they received from CIC?

Thanks.

There was a "Medical Instructions" in the letter and it said: "If you have not completed your medical examinations you should make arrangements to undergo the examinations immediately. Refer to the medical instructions that were previously sent to you. Advise our office as soon as possible if you did not receive these instructions."

In my case, this section is crossed out in pen and they wrote "We have your results" (this was handwritten).
