Congrats o6ocpaka!!! COPR will be there soon!

Jamsham, I feel like you are single-handedly paying all of the salaries of the CIC employees with how many notes you order, lol! I hope they get to yours soon.
LMAO, i really wish they had sent the app to my country of birth rather than Ottawa as I probably would have had a decision already.

Has anyone received AoR2 from Ottawa recently? I had to call Ottawa to get my SA, and ecas still hasn't updated to say approved. It has changed the PR portion to in process, but my husband hasn't received any form of correspondence.

Also, does anyone else check ecas obsessively? I've been checking it multiple times a day... >_<
I wouldn't panic yet -- the PR portion of our app is still Application Rec'd so the fact you're already marked as In Progress despite applying three months after us is likely a good sign -- for you. ;)
I check eCAS at least once a day, usually twice.

Thanks ChellyCat! Were there any updates for you on the Application Status site when DM happened in terms of new activities? Our just says Decision Made, but there is nothing about if the copr was sent yet or not, or what kind of decision :)
No updates, just DM. I was able to call the call centre though and confirmed for me that it was an approval and told me when the COPR was mailed out, so give that a shot if you are curious?

Ooh, what country were you born in? Why'd yours go to Ottawa?

I did receive a confirmation from CPC. Not sure if everybody receives this as I actually emailed them before they replied.
This is what they said:

Dear Sir/Madam

Our office confirms that your application is being processed as per our regulatory timeline.

Please note that we cannot confirm when your file will be ready for finalization.


We do not require any information from you at the present time. An officer will contact you if further information is required. Please ensure when submitting documents that they are still valid and will not expire within 6 months as this could delay your application.

Come to think of it, does anybody know what this should mean? Thanks guys!

Basically what they are saying is, your application is in our office collecting dust and we can not give you a time frame of when we can come to a final decision and to please don't contact us for another 6 months.

Ditto. IP today, too (though ecas says they've been processing it since July 6th). The CIC must have picked up a new stack today.

I'm going to assume the wait between IP and DM is a few weeks for Ottawa for a married couple with no kids?

Let's hope this holiday weekend puts an extra pep in their step when they return. :p

Went IP this morning! Well, according to eCAS, they started July 15.

Any idea why it seems to take them so long to update eCAS to IP? Do they do it after clearing a few hurdles, say? Just curious why it wouldn't start to show IP, you know, when they supposedly started processing it.
