It means the letter you receive from HKVO saying they have received your application, they send the email to the applicant.

I wonder for those applicant who holds HK Passport ( visa exempt country to canada), do they really need to mail their passport to the visa office to process after decision made? or the applicant would receive COPR directly for landing.

No need for sending the passport to HKVO but they have to either upload all pages of the passport as PDF file online or send the photo copies to HKVO, although visa exempt countries applicants normally get the CORP mailed to them, HKVO doesn't seem to do so, I've only heard one Taiwanese applicant got her COPR without PPR, the COPR was sent to her agent after DM, the agent said it was the first time they received COPR without PPR. It's just rare for HKVO to do that.

Have you got DM yet?

what if we sent photocopied passport to hkvo already? someone mentioned that they will still send an email...but instead of asking you to mail passport...they ask you to fill a label form...?

Very good question, siuanna. I guess I am one of the rare bunch who got COPR without PPR. I totally didnt expect it, because I heard even if we submitted photos and a copy of passport with the application, they will still ask for them after DM. (I hold HK passport) I guess it really depends on the Visa Officer.

In my application, besides the photos required, we also submitted a copy of applicant's passport, and a label form with 8 return mailing address labels (also required from IMM3903).

In conclusion, I did not get any email from HKVO after getting DM, and I received COPR in the mail 2 weeks after DM without PPR.
Good luck to everyone!

This is really helpful information ymserver!!! Are you in Hong Kong or in Canada? I'm in Canada, not sure if I will get the COPR mailed here or not.
