Hello all, I have a question. My spouse did an interview recently in regards to the eligibility criteria. After the interview the eligibility was updated on the tracker as complete, I received pre arrival services and COPR doc number was updated on account. All 4 requirements (biometrics, medical, background and eligibikity) for PR are completed
1) does this mean PR application is approved ?
2) when should I expect to receive PPR?

Yes that means that unless something happens the application has been approved. You are just waiting for final approval and passport request.
 
In progress

In that case it sounds like a final decision has not been made yet.

Pre-arrival services and generating the COPR number are not indications that the application has been approved. These are administrative steps in the application.

But everything in the ECAS is completed. Is that not a sign of approval?

No, not necessarily. It would mean all of those steps have been completed. But it doesn't necessarily mean the final decision is made. When you see "decision made" vs. "in progress", then you know the decision is made.

I understand that. But does completed not mean approved? And does not receiving pre arrival mean eligibility has been approved ?

It doesn’t mean approved but it is generally a really good sign that you are likely to be approved. Once ECAS shows “Decision made” you should expect to get PPR within 2-3 weeks.

For us once all verification steps were completed, our “in progress” turned to “decision made” in about 3 ish weeks.

How long did it take to get PPR after pre arrival
 
How do you even check ECAS? Mine always shows up with not able to be found. It's because tracker? COPR in tracker, to me, means it's been approved and requested the invite be sent.
