I saw your previous post. You still haven't received your GCMS note?! I remembered we applied about the same time, only 1-2 days difference. I got my one but anyway, it useless, shows nothing except the Security Check is still in progress
No, I still did not receive my notes...

Hi guys! I just noticed that my gckey has been changed to approved, but ECAS still say "In Process", is this normal? Also I didn't get any new messages on GCKEY. Anyone else experiencing this?

Congrats! Just give them a few more days and you will receive the email and update on your GCKey Account

Normally, you would get DM in ECAS first. But who cares, congratulations!

I heard if ur mailing address is in canada then application will send to Mississauga...

In my case, my mailing address is in Canada. but still did not send to Mississauga.

The whole thing is strange. Just like US H1B visa. certain people can take advantage of system with help from inside the system.

And I still haven’t received anything after DM on Oct 22. :confused:

I am just wondering if they will send my COPR to my lawyer in Canada. But still, more than 2 weeks already. Just don’t know what’s going on.

It's a stat holiday this weekend. Give it few more days then I would contact " your lawyer " in Canada.
If acting as your representative they will receive the PPR for you......Hopefully they are reputable !

The COPR will be sent to you along with your processed passport via courier from the Beijing Visa centre.

We contacted the lawyer 2 days ago and she didn’t even check the GCKey for us. Got so disappointed about them.

I am from Macao and so I think I will go through the HK visa Centre. As for my passport, it’s visa-exempted and I may not get the PPR at all. And thus, I expect the COPR will be mailed out directly to my lawyer. Is that true?

I saw some timelines of the HK applicants and found that they had no PPR too.
