This is a copy of a post from Andrew Miller, an attorney, from the British Expats blog.
If true, it is cause for great concern to all of us:
Re: Huge Delay in Buffalo office about 2 to 3 years more
Same delays will be in all visa posts due to the settlement cases - 130,000 of previously frozen pre-2002 applications have been thrown back into processing and half of them (including all 1999 and earlier) must be completed by middle of 2006, all 2000 cases completed by middle of 2007 and all 2001 applications must be completed by the end of 2008. Read Article 3c here for details:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/mandam...ment-final.html
130,000 applications represent statistically more than 270,000 visas versus annual quota of about 135,000 to 145,000 visas available in affected SW class. So yes, they will affect all still pending cases submitted in 2002 and later.
Additional delays for 2002 and later cases may be anywhere from several months to 3+ years, depending from visa post.

Hello Tim,
Are you really serious? I tried assessing the site on several occasions but was unsuccessful. Is this a joke or what?

This is not something new. This settlement was finalized in March 2005.

seriousness (in reply to: Cause for concern)
I too have the "early 2006" email. The lawsuit was settled about six months ago and I received the email about one month ago. I would be appalled if they would tell me "early 2006" if they knew it was not possible. So my home is that Mr. Miller is wrong. But then again, he does this for a living, I do not.
I think what all of us really want is for Buffalo to communicate with us clearly and honestly. It is so frustrating planning your life based on rumors and estimates. Why can´t they just tell us the honest status of things?
If I were at the start of this process, I would go to another country. But with 14 months and several thousand dollars invested, I guess I will wait until "early 2006" before giving up on it.
CIC does not seem sympathetic with our need for information.

It was finalized in march and the effects are visible now. Nobody who sent medical after June 05 has got PPR.But, if buffalo has wriiten to some people that there case will be finalized in Jan 2006, I don´t think there is any reason to believe that it will go beyond March/April 2006. SO CHEERS FOR THOSE LUCKY GUYS!! Howeever, rest may get affected.
