I applied for permanent residence in Mexico City in September 2006 and I got a letter in reply from the Canadian Embassy saying that it would take three years for them to start reviewing my file. This month I sent a inquiry to the Canadian Embassy in Mexico asking about the status of my case and they basically answered: "We told you, you have to wait the three years to start the procedure".
I am already working in Canada under a work permit. I wonder if I should switch my application to Buffalo. It would be faster there? Internet waiting time says that for both Mexico and Buffalo it takes more than 3 years. But I have heard of several people that applied to Buffalo a year ago and they are close now to getting their papers, and me on the other hand I am still on a waiting list just to start the procedure.
Since I applied a year ago I still have to wait at least 2 more years to start the procedure and possible 3 years to get the papers. WOULD IT BE FASTER IN BUFFALO?
I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADVISE!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can afford, better ignore the mexico file and file for a fresh application in Buffalo which is much faster.
Even transfers are not that fast and delay the process, As well more chances of calling for an interview.

I would like to start with a fresh application in Buffalo. I can afford it. However I am concerned about what to do with my application in Mexico.
A transfer would delay the process. A withdrawal may look bad in my file and having two applications at the same time may generate me problems don´t you think? (same name and birthday in the computer would be very easy to note)..
I am not sure about how to do the switch.
I would appreciate any advise.

Why on earth would you submit a FSW application in your circumstances?
You are working in Canada and have not applied for a PNP certificate?
R U working under the NAFTA or with a LMO, HRSDC approval work permit?
You did your application yourself, didn´t you?
Go to www.cic.gc.ca and on the left side to Immigrate. Then Provincial nominee----READ.
CIC will not transfer your file.

If you want to apply through Buffalo, send a letter with your file number to the Mexico CIC that you want to withraw your application. You can state the reason for the withdrawal is that you want to submit a new application through Buffalo. Your processing fees will not be returned.
When you apply to Buffalo, you need to mention your previous visa application and that you withdrew it.
