**DECEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

[CanadianZenGirl]

actually I got DM yesterday! I checked after posting here and it was changed to decision made on ecas. It's weird tho myCIC is still showing background in process. By the way how long did it take for others to receive passport request after DM? Thanks in advance!!

Background check often doesn't change until the very end. A lot of folks seem to get the passport request in about five days or so. We didn't get ours until the tenth day following decision made.

No DM from Manila and applied December 9

I see! Thank you so much! Another quick question: Passport request comes in an email to the applicant or the sponsor?

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let everyone know that we got PPR today! MyCIC is still showing that they are reviewing our eligibility, but the letter was available in MyCIC.

We initially lodged our application on 31 Dec, but forgot one form, so had to submit that separately.
App received late January 2017
Began processing 23rd February
Medical done upfront.
Police clearance (both Australian and UK) provided up front.
PPR 16th June 2017.

Good luck to you all!

Is COPR something different to PPR (in terms of the letter we received requesting passports)?

COPR is a piece of paper with your photo glued to it that they print out using the info you supply on the PPR form. You hang it to CBSA when you arrive.

You mean PPR/COPR? It'll depend on the visa office, normally a couple of weeks for each.

PR card is about 2 months after you arrive in Canada.
