I got my COPR today. I want to drive to the border and land but my husband is working all day. Does he have to be with me?

COPR received today!!! ;D It's been a long time coming

Re: police clearance... to open or not? Yes they will only accept the original but I scan everything for a copy for my own reference and documentation.

Re: police clearance... to open or not? Yes the scanned image says VOID all over it. Yes open it, you need to read it to make sure that everything is correct and that there is nothing that you need to dispute.

I had my prints done by a fingerprinting company in Canada. It's fine as long as they are professional and on the correct card. It does take 14-16 weeks, unfortunately... This caused a huge delay in my process. We had them sent to our address in Canada once the were completed. Just my...

OhCanadiana is right. My husband and I called because he was so happy and he just had to know... I tried to tell him not to bother them but he couldn't wait one more week. lol

ECAS changed from Application Received to In process on March 3, 2015 ECAS Changed from In process to decision made on April 21, 2015 COPR mailed out on April 17, 2015

Decision Made!!! Finally! ;D :D :) :P ;D ;D ;D :-* Checked yesterday ECAS was still 'in process' (as it was for 7 weeks now) Checked today it said Decision Made. My husband called to check and they said COPR was sent on April 17.

Do you mind me asking what you said when you called? Did you mention ECAS at all or just a general inquiry?

So... ECAS changed to 'In Process' approximately 6 weeks ago. I am starting to worry, even though I don't see how anything can be wrong with our application at this point. I am aware that everyone's timelines are case-specific and that the trends we see are averages of what people post... Just...

Congratulations!! ;D I've been waiting to see you post that. Our ecas changed to in process about the same date, but I'm still in process... :-/ But good for you! You have been waiting for a while!

I just saw the same post. They're ECAS status changed to in process just a week ago. Mine changed a little over 3 weeks ago! ??? I did an inquiry last week and was told that my checks had been completed and passed and that my "review date" was the 26th. Not too sure what they meant by review...

What is a review date? Got a bit of an update a few days ago and that my background and elegibility chacks were completed and that my medical had been extended for a year. I was also informed that 3/26 (yesterday) was my review date. Does that mean the end is near?? Any insight?

Hello! I was looking on another thread and saw something about being able to apply for OHIP while awaiting PR. I looked into this online and is says that all I need is proof of eligibility -or- "Citizenship and Immigration Canada has confirmed that you meet the eligibility requirements to...

I did. I sent in the FBI Police certificate after I sent my package. We simply added a note to the application package.

No problem. Just sharing my experience. Haven't since October when I moved to Toronto, but I traveled across the border in December for the holidays. I don't think you have much to worry about.

Yes I did my FBI clearance incorrectly and had to send for it again which took FOREVERRRRR! I received it the day after Boxing Day and had it overnighted. From what I see, if I had turned everything in correctly at once then I would have had everything completed by now.

Hello! I can only speak on my behalf but I got a pretty good understanding of the process. I am American and being sponsored by my spouse. We applied Outland. I got my first visitor record in October 2013. It lasted 6 months and I simply renewed it at the border. At the time I was living in...
