Your attorney obviously has quite the trust relationship with you - insisting on cash up front before incurring any out of pocket expenses... :-\lalune117 said:
lalune117's attorney said paying the RPRF fee later wouldn't delay COPR (that was in February, right?). If I'd advised my client that poorly, I'd want to get paid up front, too.computergeek said:

I did the sponsored application myself (having my spouse sign in the relevant spots plus writing the narrative we included with the letter) so there were no legal fees for that one. But for the FSW application I paid out $12k plus almost $2k in expenses, so it definitely adds up.lalune117 said:
Once you receive the PPR e-mail do you typically (post) mail this copy of the front page? Or can this be e-mailed? I guess this would just be to make sure none of your information has changed? Seems a bit silly to me as well, as my passport does not expire until 2016...oh well, they are the boss!Yellowrose said:
I was kinda hoping to get PPR this month but I guess not
If all goes smoothly, you might get lucky and get your PPR and COPR in July or August. If CPP-O requests any additional documents, you might have a much longer wait. I think it's mostly a matter of luck.Mushmash said:Hello everyone, I started my application in December and sent it in on the 8th December last year to Mississauga. My wife got the SA from Mississauga on feb 14 and still haven't heard anything since. I called the centre and they told me my application is in Ottawa and they do not have any information on my file because it is an outside Canada application. They said it could take 14months so I shouldn't look to hear anything from Ottawa till feb next year. Has anyone done this similar process? Does it really take that long?
PPR is first. Sometimes they skip PPR and go straight to COPR, but only rarely. Usually it's PPR and then 10-30 days after you send them a copy of your passport, you get your COPR in the mail. If they ask for anything other than a copy of your passport, you can wait for months (my family's been waiting for 4 months since PPR so far, but that's not the usual course of events).Mushmash said:
