Re: Huge Delay in Buffalo office about 2 to 3 years more
Nobody's case needs to wait for BFD - it is common misconception that BFD is a magic date when someting will happen. It is not.
BFD is only a reminder set by processing officer to have case pop up if there is no activity on the case before BFD. If there is nothing to be done at that time because case still waits for results of one or more checks then officer enters new BFD.
If, like you claim, all checks would have been already completed in your case then final decision would have been made once the last check results were posted in the system.
There is obviously (or was at the time your CAIPS were printed) something still outstanding in your case and this is why no final decision was made and BFD set.

Hmm... thats interesting. Actually, the MP's office gave me this information. They said all checks etc has been completed.
I am still waiting for my CAIPS. Should arrive sometime next month. Perhaps will know more then.
Thanks for the info Andrew.

Re: Huge Delay in Buffalo office about 2 to 3 years more
Just a couple of question:
1- will CIC publish in any way the number of the lawsuit cases per visa post?
2- What if the number of available visas in any office will not allow them to finish the required numbers by the set date? Will they use visas quotes from other offices?
i.e office x has 10 available vises for next year, but the lawsuit obligates it to grant 15 visas, what will they do?, grant more vises, and stop issuing vises from other offices?, won't that be a violation for the percentage kept by CIC for each visa post?

These are good questions. I do not have answer but I am sure they will increase the visas or limited the visas from other office.
Please forward your questions to Buffalo office and may be they will answer you.
Good Luck

Yes, Canada Man, please ask them. I am afraid I will get black-listed if I email again.

Re: Huge Delay in Buffalo office about 2 to 3 years more
an answer to your question might be that these quotas are not really quotas, they are targets and they don't need to be exactly met in such a way no single visa can exceed the target, there could be a margin of manoeuvring.

It looks bad news for all of us. 700, 000 application for PR and it will take from 4 to 5 years to finish them on average 200,000 PR per year.
It is time to think in this loooooooooooooong waiting time.
Good luck to you

Re: Huge Delay in Buffalo office about 2 to 3 years more
OK, I am going to stir the pot further in this huge delay thread
Now that the Gomery report has been released, what will be the direct impacts to immigration points, huge delays, etc....etc...?
Perhaps, immigration consultants care to share their two cents, insights, hunches....

I called up the Buffalo consulate today and they told me "we have exhausted our quota for this year. We will send passport requests to people whose file is complete starting in Jan"

It is just another pre-election blurb. Reality has been tabled in Parliament yesterday and you can see it at the bottom of page here:

What promise? They said "starting in January" - it doesn't mean completing in January.
