Evidently the CIC mailed my CoPR in late April, and it has been lost in the mail. Since I mentioned to them that I did not receive the documents, the CIC has cancelled the CoPR. Now I have to resubmit photos and a pre-paid envelope for them to send a new CoPR. So much for this being a smooth...

Has anyone that has received a DM from the Ottawa office not received their COPR within the usual couple of weeks? I received DM on April 30th, and have been away since today. I was expecting the COPR to be in the mail, but unfortunately haven't received it. Should I try to call the CIC? If...

Yes, who would have known!? Congrats to you and kudos to the Ottawa office for working overtime!!

We just saw an update to Decision Made in eCAS on April 30 through the Ottawa VISA Office. We are beyond excited! And casting hopes for more DMs to come for others!

Congratulations!! That is amazing speed! I hope that we are as fortunate.

Congrats! We just got Sponsorship Approval today as well. 54 days to receive SA.

Ahh, good to know then!

Yep, same here. Started processing on March 2nd, AOR on March 3rd.

Yes, we are also still waiting. Go ahead and give them a call. We may do the same in a day or so.

I think I received my police report about 3 weeks ago, for a total wait time of about 16 weeks. So, if you're on a similar timeline then you should be receiving yours very soon! How are you going to package up your report to send to the CIC? We're now waiting for SA before we send it, but...

We received our AOR today! Now the (hopefully) short wait for SA. Congrats to all the others getting AORs and SAs!

Hi all, I just called the FBI and they are currently processing mail for September 22nd.

Will do! We're just a little bummed as we expected my report to be back within the next couple of weeks. It seems the FBI's backlog is growing as they mentioned they're working on Mid-September requests now.

Thanks for the information, fruitball4u! I think we'll just play it safe then and wait.

Hello all, I was curious to know if anyone has had experience with sending their FBI background check document after submitting their application package. My wife and I were planning to send our package at the very first of the year. However, I just checked with the FBI and they estimate the...
