Yay!!!! Congrats Diamondude! I am out drinking right now but will update the ss after I return home ;) hopefully everyone will see some form of progress this month!!


Thanks prithiv! Dawndarkharp- thanks! My application was pretty thin and I filled out the additional fam info wrong, but I definitely think some strategically timed case specific enquiry will prompt them to work on yours- I have positive vibes for you!!

Having a jager bomb (or two) for everyone tonight! Wooo!

Just sent the passports this morning. Every 10 or 15 minutes we turn to each other and excitedly exclaim, "we're going to Canada"! We are so pumped! ;D

Congrats...
Every time I read somebody got their PPR, I cry. It must be a wonderful feeling. I hope you have a wonderful trip to Canada.

Hi Everyone - had the world's worst Tuesday today (notoriously my worst day of the week!)

Me thinks I should change it to the best day seeing as I received my COPR in the mail today! How anticlimactic opening the envelope though- literally two pieces of paper folded messily and jammed into my letterbox.

Oh well - it arrived safe and sounds just before raining at least!!

I think I will be landing 6th June in Ottawa, so fingers crossed it all goes smoothly :)

Looking forward to hearing further updates!

Congrats :) I wish London was as on the ball. This is killing me right now.
Hi Woffles, thankyou!! Does you application still say "Received" on eCas?

I have a suspicion they do application in batches, so looking at the London Spreadsheet might give you an idea of the timeframe- but even knowing when definitely doesn't help make the process much easier. In fact, knowing of people getting their VISAs before you probably makes it worse :(

Fingers crossed for you that this is a productive month for the London VO- and 2013 will fly by until you have your COPR in hand.

Huge congrats bagelbagel. It is kinda anticlimactic. But the excitement will build up again once you start planning the actual landing date.
