Default Do you get this email from Buffalo?

My file was transferred back from CPP-O. And I got this email from Buffalo

Your application is in process in Buffalo. We are unable to provide a date when the processing of your application will be complete.

Canadian Consulate General Buffalo

Is that mean my PR Visa will be issued in Buffalo later or they may still transfer to other VO?

Hi,
We have not heard anything from Buffalo, just the email from Ottawa saying everything was in order and that file has gone back to Buffalo for visas to be issued, etc. Told 6-10 weeks (from Mar 9 2012) before we would hear and still nothing. Hoping that file should now remain in Buffalo

Please can you post your timeline from app to CPP Ottawa?

Hi, we emailed Ottawa a couple of times and they replied pretty quickly and were more than helpful. From what I have heard Buffalo don't respond to emails for ages and when they do it's a fairly stroppy "don't contact us we'll contact you" response.

Did Ottawa contact you to say your file had gone back or did you just hear from Buffalo? Most of us appear to have been emailed by Ottawa with a timeframe when the file returned to Buffalo. However these seem to range from 1 -3 weeks to 120 days See the CPP Ottawa thread.

There are several others with file return around your date so keep your eye on the above thread

Another waiting game...........

You also have to consider that these offices are dealing with thousands of applications and if they took time to reply to all status requests then they would never get any work done on the actual applications

I know its frustrating but thats the way the system is.

Yep, I've had pretty much the same sort of email from them before. I sent one at the end of last month asking what the status was on my application after I too had sent in my medicals.

It seems to nudge them into action though, I got my passport request a day after that email response. It shouldn't really work like that, I'd rather everything was just processed in a proper queue, but there you go.
