Thats helpful. So we'll keep our fingers crossed that we either have to send the passport in electronically (or not have to at all) rather than physically send it to the LA office. We were told the application was transferred Feb 14 2013 to LA following sponsorship approval. Based on your timeline, Im hoping that get approved soon but seems unpredictable. Thanks againcomputergeek said:

Hi Everyone, I finally got the email below from CIC and I emailed them this morning the scanned copy of the passport. Do they need anything else ? How long does this usually take ? Thank you!!
REQUEST FOR PASSPORT COPIES
This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada as a member of the family class. Your application is now ready for finalization.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER. YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE FINALIZED BY THE CASE PROCESSING PILOT – OTTAWA (“CPP-O”).
In order to continue processing your application, the following is required:
Ø
Ø COPY OR SCANNED IMAGE of your passport and passports of your accompanying family members, as noted below.
Please note:
All documents must be accompanied by English or French translations. When original documents are requested, notarised documents are not acceptable.
Passport Copies:
You are a citizen of a country that is exempted from obtaining a visa to visit Canada under Regulation 190 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. You are therefore required to send only a copy or scanned image of the photo page of your passport and of any pages indicating a validity extension or change to your personal information. You must submit these copies/scans for yourself and for all your accompanying family member(s).
DO NOT SEND YOUR ORIGINAL PASSPORT(S). We require copies of a VALID passport for yourself and every accompanying family member. Please note that permanent resident visas cannot be issued on Diplomatic, Official or Military passports.
Changes to your Family Composition:
· Have you married or divorced?
· Have you given birth or adopted a child?
· Do you intend to get married or divorced prior to becoming a permanent resident?
· Do you intend to give birth or adopt a child prior to becoming a permanent resident?
· Has your sponsor withdrawn his or her sponsorship of your application?
If any of these conditions apply, you must inform CPP-O immediately. You will be asked to submit evidence such as a copy of the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption certificate or a letter advising when and where the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption is expected to take place. Any new spouse and/or children must be added to your application and be found admissible to Canada before your case is finalized. Failure to declare additional dependants such as a spouse or children before you become a permanent resident could result in the cancellation of your permanent resident visa. Once your file is closed, you would be required to submit a new application and pay new processing fees. Any new application would be assessed under the Act and Regulations in force at the time of its submission.
Send your documents to the Case Processing Pilot – Ottawa (CPP-O)
If original documents (such as police certificates or photographs) have been requested, you are required to submit all documents by MAIL within the next 60 days to CPP-O at the address noted below.
If no original documents have been requested, you may submit copies of your documents by mail, by fax, or as scanned images attached to an email to CPP-O at the contact information noted below.
The requested information/documents must be received in our office within 60 days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application.

I updated roysingh on the Ottawa spreadsheet - very happy to update someone who's been waiting so long!simb said:congrats roysingh
Parker24, you need some work to do... one more pink in the spreadsheet...
so just I am left now...
Pink? Is someone inactive? lol I'll be going through the list again here in a few to see who is still active but hasn't landed yet. We have been thinking of you simb!! You will get PPR soon I know it!simb said:congrats roysingh

Well if it makes you feel better, you aren't alone in being light purple, you and expatboarder are still light purple... Come on LA!!
Happy Friday everyone. Still waiting on COPR.
My partner did call CIC centre this morning and they said I'm all set, they've received everything (last thing they requested [14 march] was a scan of my passport + RPRF payment [sent 16 march]) and I should hear from them "very soon". LOL. "Very soon" is very subjective wording.
Also, out of curiosity, I checked ecas a week ago and it said Medicals received (first time in a while I'd seen it updated).
Glad some people are progressing through the process.
Parker, since it was Ottawa who requested the passport scan, does that mean I am no longer involved with LA visa office? I can't remember if I asked you this a few weeks ago...
All in all, I'm just happy that I'm somewhere near the finish line.
enjoy the weekend everyone, hope you have good news to end the day or start the new week!

Hiya! Yes, that would mean Ottawa has your fileslunikkimc3 said:
But it's also possible that the actual COPR will come from LA. I've heard of that happening as of late so it's a little confusing!Thanks. It is confusing. So, I just stay calm and go with the flow, otherwise I'd go crazy. LOL.parker24 said:Hiya! Yes, that would mean Ottawa has your file
