Buffalo processing times

Hi all,

I applied from Buffalo under skilled worker class, (with HRSDC confirmed employment offer) and I am currently working(2nd year) in Canada on work permit. I originally came to study here about 5 years ago.
My work experience and post-secondary studies are all from Canada.

So does anyone have a processing time for Buffalo RPC? I have heard that some ppl have got visa in 6-8 months time total.
One of the consultants says that currently they are taking about 14 months for complete and not-complicated applications.

I hope my interview is waived off so that i dont have to bother applying for a US visa, just to attend an interview.

How long do you think will it take for medical forms and police (rcmp) fingerprint forms to be issued to me? My application was recieved by Buffalo in december 2005 but they said processing started in beginning of january2006.I recieved reciept of confirmation in 3 weeks time and they haven't requested any docs initially.
