Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

[kourts]

For May/June applicants: what do they tell you when you send an inquiry? Did you have to send new docs?

They told me that they got an extension for my medical. Mine expires April 12th. So I assume they won't be done before then.

 

[moochops]

My medicals were done at the back end of 2010 so when they asked me for updated police certificates in January I would have presumed if they needed updated medicals that they would have asked for them then????

So my honest answer is I don't know but I hope they have. It doesn't even show as meds recieved on Ecas. Although I know they have them because right at the beginning I was asked to send in a copy of the front page imm something or other which should have been included in the application but wasn't.

Does the phrase "lap of the gods" mean anythng to anyone?!!!!!

Regarding enquiries (all done via email) I asked for my file number, which they replied to and gave me (just a basic good morning here is your file number we already sent it to you on xxxx date goodbye). Then when I recieved my request for updated docs (via snail mail) I noticed that on the information page that they had in there for me, they had my email address wrong (explaining why I didn't get the AOR when they said they had sent it). So I sent them another email to the enquiry address and asked them to ammend the adrdess they have on record, which i had no response to so I have no idea if they got it or not.

Mine still application receveived
However they replyed through email that my aplication is in process

 

[kourts]

I emailed them about mine in January I believe, and they said mine was in process. But then it changed on ecas in February that they started processing it February 16th.

Eeeee! ;D

My fingerprints arrived at the FBI about 4 weeks ago. They processed my credit card on March 19 so I figured from previous posts that I had about a month to go, but my clearance arrived today! I hope this is a sign of how things will go with the rest of the process.

I ordered 2 copies, just in case. One goes in the mail to DH on Monday, and hopefully his Option C will show up by the time my PCC does, and we will be ready to submit! If by some horrible chance the PCC doesn't make it, the second copy comes with me when I visit him in May.

Your thing says app in process July 29th, is that when it changed to in process. or was that when you got an email from them saying it was in process?

We sent everything in May and my husband's application has been in process since Oct. 11, 2011. All of this is baffling to me, especially since they already said that the interview had been waived. What could they possibly be doing? They have all the info and payments they need.

That scares me, thinking that I could be waiting that long as well. When mine went in process I thought any day now, but I was wrong.

B4

Hey guys! We have a departure date of June 1, as my partner's COPR is good until June 16th and we'd like to leave some wiggle room.
We never did get an email or letter explaining that a decision had been made or anything like that, just the COPR. Strange! ???

Anyhow!

My main question is this: I've been living in the U.S. (dual citizen) with my partner (U.S. citizen and soon-to-be PR of Canada), and I know that I will be needing to fill out a B4 just like she (my partner) will since I've been gone just about 9 years now. How do we go about each having a B4/B4A when we have co-owned most things for 5+ years? We are arriving together in my car, which is the only thing I can honestly say is just MINE, so I'm not sure whether our other accompanying goods should be claimed as the returning resident's items or the settling immigrant's items. Is there any way to just have one list/form?

Bonus question: I'm also wondering if anyone has a pdf/photocopy of their B4 they could share. I'm lost with how much detail to go into and right now we have cataloged every one of our DVDS/Books which I'm starting to think is TOO much detail. I don't want to be too general either though, like "Kitchen items = $425" if that would be seen as incomplete.

Thank you!!!

I've seen a lot of people say that they do just that kitchen items= 425. you don't need to list each dvd and book separately.

as far as the other question,I'm not really sure.Hopefully someone else can help you out with that.

Here is a thread about the B4/B4a form. I don't know how to answer your main question (I'm sorry) as I am going through the process too, but I found this thread helpful, and there is a photocopy of someones B4 as well! Hope it helps!
