Wow, nice. Congratz. It looks like the time frame is about a month for you? Was your processing office also in Ottawa?
It took 17 business days so yes, almost a month. The processing office is in Mississauga.

Hi all, just wanted to update as of today 3/15/2024: (Spousal Sponsorship Application - Me (PA), US citizen)
Finally got a couple official updates this morning from IRCC. Application Status Tracker has been marked as "closed" as of today. GCkey tracker - "A final decision has been made. Your application was approved."
VFS global Canada tracker on COPR is still the same, no update still since 2/2/2024 haha

Mine's in mail on it's way back to me. Would this be the COPR or just a letter saying I'll get a COPR?
Congratulations to both of us. Just checked VFS tracker and got this "The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No., has been dispatched from the IRCC Office, to the Canada Visa Application Centre in New York."
I will update with full and accurate timeline when I received the COPR (looking at by Monday 3/18/2024).
Mine just arrived, got my COPR and scans of passport back. Gonna rent a UHaul truck and finish packing.
Good luck to ya'll and I hope yours arrives soon!

Congrats!!
Can you provide some details on the delivery method? Did they have a requirement to sign for it personally or provide ID? Or was it just in the mail box?
Mine was just in the mailbox. it could be different if you use the VAC mail service. I couldn't use it myself as the site wasn't reachable at the time, so I just paid out of pocket for UPS to express ship it both ways.
This is what I got, "The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No., has been couriered from the Canada Visa Application Centre, New York on 2024/03/15. Please use Tracking id. or the AWB number provided to track the shipment on the courier partners website after 24hrs." and below this message UPS provided a tracker link per the VAC instruction. It does required signature for the package. I am using the VAC two-way couriers.
That's awesome man! Do you mind sharing your experience going through immigration at the airport? Like, what are the required documents? Did you went to the kiosk first and then got directed to an officer? How long do you have to wait? What kind of questions they asked you?
Sorry for bombarding you with questions. My landing will be 3/30/24! Although I will have to come back to the US a week after landing for family matters so I'm still worry how I'll get back to Canada after that haha.
Similarly, I'm interested in your experience travelling back after landing and without a PR card. If you remember to share when the time comes.
