Assuming your medical results are received by CIC and you submitted RPRF receipt and biodata,
how long does it take to get CoPR from the day your ecas status is changed to decision made?
or to get PPR from the ecas status change?

Please share your timeline
I appreciate any input

Just like a ny other step in the PR process, the question you asked has also the varied timelines, which depends on so many 'Unknown' factors.
If you had scanned through this forum, you would have seen cases, where the Decision made in Ecase happens ;
1. Same day as the PP request
2. Couple of days before PP Request
3. Weeks before PP Request.
4. Months before PP request (My case 4.5 months befoe my PP request)
5. After the PP request.

So, there's no trend as such.

My status changed to DM on the 3rd of September. I am still waiting for my PPR.

There is only 1 other case on this forum of a wait this long. I think it just depends..

y3knik... What does your GCMS say... Does it say that it is approved ?
Mine had it approved....So I sent them a mail mentioning that my GCMS shows its all aproved and ecas says it's Decision made, but I havent recieved the PPR yet. For that they responded with a call and next day I got my PPR

What number did you call? Everytime I call them, they say 'sorry we do not have any details about CEC applications in the system'.

Yes, It was the CIC who called me. But I made sure I emailed them with all the details with reference to GCMS. So that they cant just bluff and do the regular reply "Your application is in process with us...An officer will....".. They sent me the same reply couple of time around June-August.... Thats when I saw the updated GCMS status and then emailed them.

She was like " Are you sure, you havent received your PPR ? Did you check your SPAM folders. You should have got it earlier" I replied, my latest GCMS had no such entry in the outward correspondences section. Then she said, She is going to inform the CEC department right away. They will send me my PPR. And If I not get it even after 2 weeks, contact her (She send me a mail for the call reference.).

And I got the PPR the very next day.

GCMS says approved.

I have been emailing them once every 2 weeks and no traction yet.

One interesting thing on my GCMS though is that there is an outgoing notification without any email address that says confirmed validity that was assigned to someone with the due date of when my status changed to decision made. However, no PPR request yet.

My second GCMS is going to be here any day now and maybe that will give me some more insight.

octskapp, are you waiting for PPR or COPR which will come with Passport if you have already sent the passport?

What is your timeline?

I havent got PPR yet. I am all done with medical rprf and biodata. My status changed to decision made on 25th Oct.
But i am not sure if i will get PPR since im from a visa exempt country.
It seems some get request for passport copy and some just get CoPR right after medical.

I'm in the same boat from a visa exempt country. My status just changed to "In process". From you experience, how long can I expect to wait until "decision made" and CoPR in hand?

We are also from visa exempt countries. Our medicals were updated then two days later it changed to decision made, on ecas. Our lawyer received the CoPR last Tuesday, 4 days after the decision made update. The date of the CoPR was the same date as the medicals were updated. We never received a PPR. But from reading on here, everyone is different.
