This means the COPR was generated. Odds are, it's already in the mail back to you. Because this is an official document on legal size paper, it is mailed to you. There will be two copies: a CIC copy and a copy for you.
Hello Computergeek, timelady & Cbshk48,
I’ve been reading your discussion and since it seems you’re all experienced, knowledgeable and have/had situations similar to mine, I’d like to solicit your thoughts. My timeline is as follows:
Me: US/Husband: Canadian – applied out of country and case processed via CPP-O
Per CIC website:
We received your application for permanent residence on May 15, 2013.
We started processing your application on November 5, 2013.
Medical results have been received.
A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.
Here’s the thing – I did my medical in late January 2013 (thinking our app would be filed sooner than it actually was). So my medical will expire in about 2 weeks. According to experiences shared on this site, I gather that I should receive a COPR in the mail within a 7-14 day timeframe. What I need help with is a more a more detailed understanding of the timeframe in the context of my impending medical expiry. Also with landing – after reading timelady’s comments, I’m wondering how long before I’ll have to land. I live and work in WA State and my husband and I both travel between here and BC (his home) to visit. He was here in the states for a few years however in 2012 after several years of talking about it, we decided we wanted to move to Canada. We’ve been married for almost 10 years, have no children and I have no intention of immigrating my elderly and very happy US parents. Lastly, as I’m sure you can all relate, there are SO many things to arrange. I have a career here and will need to deal with that whole situation and seek employment in Canada, we have a mortgage here and just the whole business. I’m thrilled at the prospect of moving and making this life change, but a bit frazzled contemplating the other stuff. Once I’ve landed can I return to the US to finalize everything?
Can any of you help with my questions? Thank you in advance!
