The return envelope is stamped with an Xpresspost.
If it’s Xpresspost I see no reason why you wouldn’t be able to track it via the app.

Mine just came, waiting for someone to call me back now.

Yes I am able to track it because I did the same when I send the PPR docs, but I am now asking my spouse for the tracking number of the return envelope.

I just checked my GCKEY and it updated the 'Final Decision' to "Your application is approved. Check messages below for details." But I don't see any new message. lol

Ooh.. someone will call after COPR is received?

If you want to land at CIC office you need to book an appointment. If you call from within Canada you can get them to call you rather than wait in line.

Is line 2 on PA side on ECAS aor2? I haven’t received file transfer email so I’m curious. It says we started processing your application on May 24th 2019. Biometrics & medical completed and passed.
Your timeline is almost same as mine but i have no such line on ecas but since i joined gckey they're saying my background check is being processed..idk if they're really checking it or it's just like that from the beginning

Sounds like you're already in Canada. So, you'll be flagpolling?
I didn't know you still have to book an appointment to land in Canada..

Yes, I’m already here under dual intent.

Flagpoling is the act of going to the border and then asking the US for administrative denial, you turn back around and land at the Canadian border.

I’ll be completing a soft landing in Edmonton at one of CIC’s offices once they provide me with an appointment. If I’ve not heard anything back by 14th June I might make the trip down to flagpole in Montana. I’ll see how it goes, as I’ve read numerous posts that say they’re pretty quick at getting back to you with an appointment.

Gotcha. I was confused for a bit because I am still in the U.S. and I am flying to Canada to land, so I thought for a second I'd need to book for an appointment also. The appointment is for people who are flagpoling.

Hopefully you get an appointment and can flagpole as soon as possible then! I heard it gets really crowded at the CIC office when trying to flagpole. Good luck!

In your case you’re just landing normally at the airport. Nice and easy!

Yay! I wonder where my app is. If it’s still in canada or been sent to Australia. My BGC has been in process since I received aor1. Anyway, YAY! I hope it’s not too long of a wait now
Don’t take much notice about the “background check” or “eligibility” in GCKey. That will continue to say in progress right up until they have received and reviewed your passport (or in our case, photocopy of passport)

Yeah I’m aware. I just haven’t received file transfer yet, so I’m happy to know that it has started processing in the PA side on ECAS.
