Just in case anyone is interested, here's my final timeline:

Express Entry profile submitted: 06/01/2015
Invitation received: 20/03/2015 - 510 points
PR Application submitted: 11/05/2015
Passport Request received: 15/10/2015 (Emailed to confirm need to send to London, UK Office)
Request to post passport copies/photos to London office received: 27/10/2015
Posted to London office: 02/11/2015
COPR received: 11/11/2015

Along the way I had various request messages, to upload a couple of forms, updated proof of funds etc.

Quite a relief to have it all completed now, but after all of the stress at the end of 2014/beginning of 2015, I'm a bit emotionally drained!

Me and the GF have been back in the UK since May when we moved back after 2 years in Vancouver since we were drawn just before our IEC permits expired, so no option for getting an application submitted in time to apply for a bridging permit.

I remember being jealous of a friend who'd managed to get in under the old CEC system and I had to go through EE, however he's now into his 16th month and only just received the RPRF, so I guess it was a blessing in disguise!

Congrats doubleym.. Can u please elaborate a bit more on updated pof request. What exactly did they ask for? Did they ask for updated letter coz maybe the one you submitted initially was considerably old or was it because you missed out on adding some supporting doc etc etc.

It was a pain to get it right as per their requirements first time around. I could only imagine how annoying it'll be to get all pof docs again.
 
Congrats dobleym!!!

Always good to hear positive stories!
