Thanks.
Need a convincing answer with numbers.
Simple fact is: numbers are transient and therefore pretty much meaningless. They can fluctuate wildly based on many factors:
Previous Queued Item Counts
Employee Attendance
Employee Productivity
Amount of Cases Unknown To Us That Require Additional Docs
Additional Information Requests From Clients
New Case Submissions
Number of Documents Per Submission
etc etc etc.

So, my answer before stands. You won't see anything until after 30 days. And using CPC or courier to send your reply in, expect longer than 30 days. Just like new paper applications, they will have to open, validate, scan and attach to your file. It should only ever be used when your attachment will be larger than 4MB (and you should notify CIC by CSE that you have mailed the package -- and give a courier name, and tracking number).

I just finished the landing interview at London CIC. It was pretty quick, only 20 mins from waiting to leaving. Just few routine questions such as any criminal activities? He also asked how we met. Lol I was so nervous and I talked so fast. At the end, he explained how to maintain PR status and get Canadian citizenship.

He probably was only asking to make conversation. It's an interesting thing to watch people who meet from vast distances apart, come together. Nervous? It's easy :). My wife broke out laughing when the landing officer we had started the questions (I had already briefed her). She was very nervous too, and didn't believe me that she was done until that moment. Imagine how she felt when they took her passport and went into the back to print her COPR LOL! In Russia (where she is from), that means you are paying a bribe, or being deported ...

Congrats! So, did they tell you not to travel until you get your PR card? If you need to go, how to get back?

Hi all. Thanks for your support over these last few weeks! Its meant a lot. I'm very close to sending all the info I have for further proof of relationship to the CIC. My attorney's reviewed it all and feels confident its enough. Its been a week since his last review and he still hasn't sent me a PDF of all of it compiled together. I'm supposed to have it uploaded to the CIC by July 3rd.

I'm one of those people who likes to hustle and get shit done wayyy ahead of time. His snail-like pace is killing me slowly!

Ahhhhhhhhhh.

You're cutting in this close to the 30days? Not that it matters except it's just longer for them to get it but Damn. I'm the type to hustle and do it right away too.

To him, it doesn't matter. Just have it in by the due date. That's how lawyers work :(

It killed me waiting for my wife's redo medical... CIC was told by the MP when it was being done. So once they had it, they hustled with the results...but if they don't know when to expect it, they just sit on their hands...

Your Situation is same with me a week ago. It's a system glitch (thanks to @profiler ). You dont have to worry about that additional documents needed unless there's a message.

after i passed the medical exam that was posted in my cic account i've got decision made close to a month. Just wait for it. almost there.
