    It won't be long! You were later in the month to us? It seems very strict rotation!

    Geluk, to be sure. (Just noticed 'Dutch in Ireland' on your signature). I lived in the Netherlands for 18 years. It's how I met my Canadian wife, because she was living and working in Brussels! Ireland (and the UK) may all be rain, but at least there are HILLS! ;)

    Sounds like a PPR? (Passport Request?)

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    :D Canada won't prejudice anyone for having positive life experiences! They're probably just browsing all your holiday photos and making their own plans... Ours was a pretty open and shut case. I've lived abroad once, but over 10 years ago - we've travelled extensively, but only lived in a...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    13th August! It was finalised on 24th July (according to the notes, now that they've all updated) - I was also informed that there was a 4-6 week delay on PRINTING. Even if the case is decided, there is a pause as the printing department picks it up and finalises the online status (!) It's a lot...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    I just got a confirmation via GCKey that 'We're done processing your application' ! Everything is showing as complete, and a 'Letter accompanying visa' (8 pages!) has appeared. I also got an email from LDN immigration email asking me to confirm that my mailing address is correct, as CoPR and...

    I’m still not counting chickens until I have that physical piece of paper in my hand (call me sceptical!) So... you May still actually RECEIVE your CoPR before me! :D (But, yes - happier!)

    London have confirmed my CoPR via email! :) My GCKey has no update since asking for renewed police certs and Schedule A, and a Pre-arrivals letter. It still says 'processing background check.' On Friday, eCAS changed to say 'Decision Made' but no other information. So last night I sent a...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    I agree! On Friday, my case changed to Decision Made on ECAS (but no change in GCKey) - but no email or snail mail yet...! My research suggests that this means something has been sent in the mail/post (either PPR or CoPR) and not email or private message - is this other people’s experience...

    ****August 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Interesting one.... A couple of days ago, in GCKey my 'biometrics' updated to 'Completed.' Today (this afternoon), I looked at ECAS and the status is 'Decision Made' - but not additional messages added to the log. In GCKey, no update. (It still says 'We are still reviewing your eligibility'...

    Via GCKey - the online portal that you get updates on? It has a messaging system. It sends an email just to say you have a message, then you log into GCKey and it’s waiting for you to read. Are you registered on GCKey? (IRCC refer to it as ‘linked your account/application online.’)

    So... when it come to the end and the passport request, some stuff I’ve read suggested that if you are in (or rather, have a passport from) a country which doesn’t need a visitors visa that you don’t have to send your passport in? I am British, we’re in Britain. On Canada’s site I don’t need a...

    No. I'm working on my habit. Only checking about 17 times a day now, which is good. 5 minutes ago no change. I'll update you in another 5... ;)

    I did the expedited service - it took 2 days. I uploaded all my docs last Friday (12th July). I'd be interested to see if uploading them sooner than later makes ANY difference to the processing time! ;)

    Oh! Just read this! Is that right? You get a confirmation in GCKey, but the passport request via post? :O Exciting! You must be running to meet the postman every day!

    That's brill! I was looking at your time line - you applied two weeks after me, similar medical timing, we had our rerequest letters the same time - but I've not got PR confirmation yet! It's bonkers! However, I'll hope mine is somewhere not far behind yours! Congratulations, keep us updated on...

    If you linked your account to GCKey (online), it arrives in there in the ‘messages’ section. If you’ve No - I’ve done exactly what you said: fill, print, sign, scan and send. I just happened to find an alternative variant of the same form. I used it and sent it before I realised it might be...
