Buffalo Tracker (please add)

Hi, I was asked to submit transcripts from my last place of study. I applied for it to be sent to my hometown address in India. The institute sent 10 copies of transcripts in seperate sealed envelopes, put them all in a single big envelope and sent it to my India address where my sister ignorantly opened the big envelope but did not touch any of the other 10 sealed transcripts.
My question is are these transcripts good enough to be sent to the canadian consulate. Please help me out with your expertise. Do you think I can send them or do you think I should apply for another fresh set. I'm running out of time PLEASE HELP!!!

As long as transcripts are in the sealed (by college) envelop they should be acceptable.
 
medicals and beyond

guys,

please let me know if there is a thread which gives all this info. ?

I got a letter stating that they have waived interiview. i have been asked to produce medical test resuls, employement letters and police verification certificate from india.

can you please advise how can i secure the police verification cert. from india ?

Also i have the following questions
1) after the medical results are received by buffalo , i would get the passport request correct ?
2) Once the passport is sent, will it get stamped with the visa?
3) can some explain the process beyond this. I want to understand how soon should i travel to canada. bcos i dont have a h1b- stamped yet.

I know these are very basic questions. Can someone give a good pointer if u guys dont want to answer this.
 
Check with nearest Indian Embassy they provide Police Clearance Certificate which is acceptable by cic.

Once you send your PP to cic, they stamp a single entry immigrant visa and send COPR that you will need at time of landing.

Once you have the VISA Stamped, complete landing.

Popoye,

I'm have the same problem as you do. and I recently received my passport request. Both I and my wife have expired the H1B stamp on our passports. However since we have a valid 797approval notice, We plan to make use of the 30 day contiguous territory rule. To complte our landing process and get back.

Need some expert advise on this from Gurus on this forum.

thanks

application status. Not an accurate picture though.
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/Au...ate.jsp&sharedSecret=fileNo&Continue=Continue
No the CIC does not reply to faxes and will delay your process if you are faxing multiple times. CAIPS notes is the way to go and that is all. After, your application ispendig for longer than normal, you may send a fax but then sit back and relax.. Goodluck

CIC Buffalo does not send receipt of your landing fee. But if you have used certified check or money order then you can check whether it has been cleared and then ask them to get copy of check/money order. That is what I did.

Recently I got PP stamping request and they sent me landing fee receipt with the PP request.

Hope this helps.
 
Question on visa expiry date

Guys,

Recently I got PP request. My medical is expiring in March 2005.

Will I get visa expiry date of March 2005? Or will CIC buffalo give at least 3 or 4 months to land?

If any of you pass through this situation or have any idea, I really appreciate your reply.

Thanks.

If you have an expired Visa and a valid Approval of Notice along with a valid I94 you can go to canada and come back using the 30 day automatic revalidation rule.

It is upto you how you plan to go with it, but it is always better to get h1b stamping in home country.

One thing to note here is that after you land, Canada becomes your 'home country'. So technically you can get a H1b stamp at a US consulate in Canada.
 
Caips says passport req sent-- But haven't received.
