Two things today - got the medical passed (he had it done on Friday), and got a letter saying our application will be processed in Mississauga. Also for the background check - is it a letter that is received? in GCKey in the "details about your application status" section it says "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information" but it has said this for quite a while, I didn't notice when it started. Is this what is meant by the background check stage, or will we receive a notification?

Congrats on yours too!! It's crazy fast!

I'm so happy because my husband happens to have just arrived to visit for the summer, so if we get the CoPR and everything we can do a little weekend trip to the States for him to land and then he can get started on his SIN, health card, etc... I'm seriously floating right now, I can't believe it.

That’s way nice! :) my husband is visiting me here in the states for the summer. We are sooooo excited and happy we get to fly back together :’)

I got my decision made on ecas yesterday then this morning I got my passport request. So if you’re at Mississauga then you can expect it next week :)!

It's best to not have any expectations when it comes to this process, but it's certainly good to be hopeful.
