I know that none of us really knows, but I need to think out loud to make the time pass.
So a decision has been made on my permanent residency.
But how do I know that it's positive? My status changed to "Decision Made," but nowhere does it say that I have been accepted or rejected.
But they asked for copies of my passport by email (I'm from a visa-exempt country) prior to the status in my e-cas changing to "'In process" (which it was at for two weeks) and then "Decision Made" (past two days). What does it all mean? They wouldn't ask for my passport if they rejected me. But why would they ask for my passport prior to opening my file and making a decision.
I'm tracking my Xpresspost envelope. I should receive it by next Monday or Tuesday at the latest.
So worried. Any thoughts?!
Here is my info and timeline for those interested. My timeline isn't typical, just so that you know. There were delays on my end, due to laziness (my fault), life circumstances (birth of first child) and general bad luck (postal strike delaying my police certificates and CIC changing the procedures and application forms); hence the really long time it took me to get my act together to complete the PR application after having received my CSQ.

I also accidentally posted this in the Skilled Worker forum, but I can't delete it. So that is why I have a double post.
