Found my COPR in the mail! It was dated Oct 17, 2014, the day after Ecas status changed to DM, and shipped to my (applicant) US address. Will be landing next week when I fly into Pearson. So excited!! Don't lose hope missmatalini! It took about 2 months from when CIC received my FBI letter...

Yes I'm on the spreadsheet. I've only seen a handful of other forum members that have a GC and only a couple of cases that applied before me. One case that applied before me took over a year to get their COPR. Another one who applied last December had their file transferred to LA and is...

I've had my US GC for about 7 years now. My common-law-partner and I submitted our application for my Canadian PR this February. I just got DM last week, so all in all it took just over 8 months. It took a bit longer compared to applications sent in for US Citizens with no red flags submitted...

Yup, letterhead says: US Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal Justice Information Services Division Clarksburg, WV 26306

I can speak from experience as one of those that ordered the FBI records from a third party channeler and had to subsequently request the letter directly from the FBI. I too was confirmed by the third party channeler that all they do is take fingerprints and send the request in to the FBI...

Thanks Kayaker! Yea, I had ordered my GCMS notes a couple weeks back so I'm curious to see what it says when I get it back.

I got DM!!!!!! I'm going back to Cali at the end of the month (visiting my partner in Toronto at the moment) so hopefully my COPR will be waiting for me in the mailbox! Woooohoooo!

EEEeeeeeeek! We just got an email from Ottawa! They are asking for original FBI letter and evidence that sponsor has reestablished residence in Canada. Not PPR yet but excited to know someone's been looking at the file. We ordered my case notes which should be arriving anytime now so...

jjoon, I did my medicals in May 2013 but did not mail in my application until February 2014. As soon as we got our SA and my file had been transferred to Ottawa, I emailed Ottawa to inquire about the status of my medicals (more out of concern because I found out in the meantime that the medical...

Ah, I didn't know that. Will keep an eye out on this. Thanks Beshoo.

missmatalini, it's my understanding that even if you stayed outside of Canada after getting your PR, as long as you are with your hubby, those days count toward your residency obligation (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5445ETOC.asp#appendixA). I've been following...

BeShoo, when you go through the border, do you normally volunteer to the officer that you have applied for PR? Or do you think they know when they scan your passport? I ask because since applying for my PR (applying outland and visiting my partner in Canada through the process), I've gone back...

Thanks marlasinger! Nah, considering what others on the forum had to go through to get their files sorted out, getting an email out to confirm wasn't too much of an effort. I'm just happy they have the medical on file and no need to pay for additional the checkup. Yes, it is the government...

Congrats steler! That's nice Paris sends an official AOR. I do hope we all get our PRs by the end of the year. I got an update myself from the email inquiry to Ottawa: "You medical file is now updated with a medical validity to May 26, 2014. I have requested a medical extension for you as...

Congrats to all who have received their AOR and SA so far, and wishing a swift process this week for those anxiously waiting! An update for anybody who's interested: I had my medicals done a while ago back in May 2013 and included my upfront medical form with the application package. Last...

My app was mailed Feb 3, 2014; received at CPC-M Feb 4, 2014 (per Canada Post and ECAS); no AOR; SA received Feb 28, 2014. Thanks for maintaining the spreadsheet Steler. New layout looks great!

So glad for you Canadian_belle1!!!!! What a relief!!!! I suppose we'll never be able to figure out how the heck they manage to screw that up. Hope they get on your case soon.

FYI, I'm now able to log onto the online services. Nothing much is noted there yet, just that my application was indeed received on Feb 4. Given that I did my medical exam a while ago, I'll give it a few more days till I see the "Medical Results Received" on ECAS. I've read on other threads...

Thanks steler :)

Great news everyone!!! My sponsor just got an SA email from CPC-M!!! Woot!! The letter said our package has been forwarded to the VO. The AOR letter was skipped, but good news nonetheless :) Could someone update the spreadsheet please? Many thanks! FYI, the Applicant's # was included in...
