Contacted my MP, and they are on it....was also informed that since I live in Canada currently, that even if my current medical expired (which it hasn't and doesn't do so until June) that medicals for applicants living in Canada medicals are expandable....!? This entire mess is going to kill me before we can even reap the rewards of life here together!

Do you mean extendable? That is up to the discretion of the visa officer. Sometimes they extend and sometimes they ask for another. Although, I agree this should not be an issue for you since it does not expire for another 6m

I'm sponsoring my wife and we got the AOR last week, I’ve been trying to link my application with no luck. I think I tried every possible combination mentioned here. so I gave up.
my question is, what happens after not linking my application and how does that affect the process?
It took us almost a year to be able to link our application, and we were able to do so by following these steps.

*Use Application Number and UCI
*Enter passport info only, not city and country of birth
*Enter details for where you will be going within Canada and all details in this section, with number of applicants being “2” if it’s the sponsor and applicant only.

We were finally able to link! I hope it works for you. Good luck! And it doesn’t affect the process whatsoever. It’s just you’ll have to call CIC for updates because you won’t be able to see them. You’ll get an email if you included it in your application, or letters if you did not.

Hi guys, quick question:
Has anyone on here from a visa exempt Country, who has recently been processed by CPC-M, gone straight from DM to COPR and skipped the PPR stage (I'm assuming this would only happen if you were inside the 6 month point for the PR photo requirements!)?

Just curious of the different experiences.

My app was processed in less than 6 months, but I still got PPR. Based on what we have seen here on the forum, every single person processed at CPC-M receives PPR, even if their VO does not typically send PPRs (i.e. London VO has not been sending PPRs to visa-exempt applicants but if you are processed at CPC-M and would have been processed at London had you not been kept in Mississauga, you get a PPR and have to send your photos and docs to London). I believe this is because Mississauga does not issue COPRs, so there is no way for them to skip right to that step.

Thanks. I'm sure it will and I am just surprised and thankful that DM has come so quickly given the experiences of some others in here. Hopefully everyone else will get to this stage promptly too.

PLEASE HELP!

i received PPR and am trying to sort if i need a visaETA to enter canada. one of the options asks if you are a permanent resident...as decision has been made do we check that box or no? reason i ask is that is the difference between requiring an ETA to enter Canada or not and will therefore decide whether we send in a physical copy of passport or not.

also anyone who had to send to London VO for COPR...did you just trust in regular mail to send it back or did you send a courier slip for them to return the COPR?

TIA
