Just to tag on to three other October applicants today, I also got DM this morning ;D I was shocked! We too never had any emails for additional docs and only had the SA notification back in December. Wow. Still processing. My medicals were to expire July 8. Here we come Canada!!!

You can add my August Application to this now. It seems Ottawa has gotten moving again. We got DM yesterday morning.

Congrats to everyone who has DM so far and I'm wishing everyone speedy decisions.

I hope so too Mulez you've been waiting ages! I'm sure it won't be long now. Have you requested anything from CIC like your notes or contacted the MP for the area you want to live in?

Thanks Tollah,
Actually, we haven't asked for notes. My wife and I still live in the Netherlands waiting for my PR. We plan to move in August. My job is ending in a month so hopefully decision made very soon.

Thanks! Actually I was watching your progress closely :) when I saw that you got your DM on the 30th June, that gave me big hope that I am next :) Congrats to you too!

Have you received your COPR letter yet? Any idea how long it takes? I am based in Quebec.

As of Friday, I have not yet received my COPR letter. Looking at the Ottawa spreadsheet for the most recent "COPR received" entries, it appears that Ottawa's typical timeframe is less than two weeks between DM and COPR receipt. The lowest delays of a day or two are probably not typical, since the existence of "mail" means that the COPR would have to be in transit when the eCAS update was visible/spotted.

My uninformed guess is that there will be some time between the CIC agent's final decision and the printing of the COPR, then the typical postal delay once COPR is in transit. Either step for us would have taken a day off because of Canada Day.

Amusingly, we can expect very similar mailing delays; I'm also in Québec, on the West Island. Out of curiosity, did you also send CIC an unsolicited copy of your CSQ? I did, and I am wondering whether that in any way influenced my file. (I'm still waiting for the GMCS notes that would actually explain what happened there.)

Thanks. I hope they send us the COPR soon.
Unfortunately I can't confirm if an unsolicited copy of my CSQ was sent to CIC, We hired an Attorney to assist with my application. What I know is that our attorney received an error email from CIC around March I think, requesting my CSQ and later they emailed it to CIC.

Seems Ottawa is moving again, just logged in this morning to a DM. :)
I actually went on to update my mailing address as I no longer live at my American one submitted. So that's my question...
I have my mail being forwarded so I'm assuming that it'll get forwarded. Should I bother changing my address online?

It can't hurt. If the COPR has not yet been mailed, there's a chance it will pick up your new address and arrive a little bit sooner. If it has been mailed or the address update does not percolate through the system in time, then the COPR will arrive at your old address and eventually reach you barring mail problems. In the meantime, it's not like it's difficult to expensive to submit the address change.
