| Subject: Obtaining Refund from Buffalo- RPRF |
I applied as SW to Buffalo CIC last June (2005), AOR in Aug. 2006. At that time I paid all fees, including Right to Perm. Residence. As of May 2, I am supposed to get a 50% refund for what I have paid. It has not been sent to me. How do I obtain the refund?

If you (or your sponsor) paid the fee in Canada
If you or your sponsor paid the fee in Canada, you do not have to request the refund. You will receive it by mail. CIC expects to begin issuing refunds within a few weeks of the effective date and to have issued the majority of them within one year.
If you have moved since you paid the Right of Permanent Residence Fee, you can use our On-line services to notify us of your new address. If you do not have a permanent address, or if you have trouble using our on-line service, please contact the CIC Call Centre at 1 888 242-2100 (only in Canada). There is no charge for this call.
If you paid the fee in another country
If you paid the Right of Permanent Residence Fee in another country before 12:00 a.m. EDT on May 3, 2006, and you have not yet received a visa, you can request a refund from the CIC mission where you paid the fee. If you do not request a refund, you will receive one when your visa is issued.
If you paid the Right of Permanent Residence Fee in another country, and you have received your visa but you have not yet become a permanent resident of Canada as of 12:00 a.m. EDT on May 3, 2006, you can request a refund by completing the necessary form after you become a permanent resident of Canada.
If you have not received a refund before you become a permanent resident, you will be given information on how to request one when you arrive in Canada.

Thanks David. But, I have already read all of that. I guess my question is more about how to deal with the byzantine aspects of Buffalo. Should I just send them a letter or Fax? Call? (I don´t think that they accept calls)

If you think you have to contact them to get the refund (versus the case where you just wait), then here is a form on their website which you should fill-out and send to them.
