Based on my experience with Canadian Visas, they update your profile with decision made and request passport when it is approved. I guess it would be same for PR.
A passport request letter is by right approved in principle. The statuses differ from each stream.

I have read from the Spousal Sponsorship section that they get this “Decision Made” status first before a PPR is sent.

For EE, status is only updated to “Approved” and “Decision has been made” when the countrefoil (for all applicants) has/have been stamped. For my case, I got my COPR 2 weeks ago, but application status was only updated yesterday when my husband’s visa was stamped in NDVO.

Hi Guys,

I just checked my CIC account and it says "Your application has been approved". I submitted my passport to VFS Delhi on 26th March.

Just checked VFS as well and it says your processed passport has been dispatched from NDVO on 6th April.

Finally, my husband received his passport/COPR from Bluedart after 24 days of processing and 5 days courier.

I hope everyone gets back your passport soon. Good luck to all :)

Hi,

I have submitted the PP on 23 March 2018 @ VFS(New Delhi).
There is no update there after.
I tried calling customer care if VFS, they told "10 days is generally the processing time".
Did anyone submitted around same time frame? And what is the status currently?

Hi,
I submitted my passport on March 25 and received by Canada Visa Office Riyadh on March 26th. Still no update, not even my CIC account...

Is this normal or should I need to contact LVO or RVO for clarification.

I am particularly worried as two of my friends submitted their passports after mine to Riyadh and they already gotten their passports back with Visa and CoPR.

Experienced guys please reply....................

I am not sure why there is a delay now. There was a guy in this forum (check few previous pages), he submitted his PP on 7th March and his status was approved on 15th but he received his passport last week.
