Edit - Also, my e-cas had an addition to it this morning under the "in process" tab. It simply added "Medical Results Received". When I got the email this morning I was pretty excited for it say "Decision Made", but no such luck!
I got the same e-mail, was all excited but sigh.

I got the same email. Funny thing is that I didn't get an email when mine changed to in process.

Weird - I got the e-Cas tracker email this morning (12:00am) and I got all excited but it just told me that the medical results had been received, which I already knew. The medical results showed up about two weeks ago. (Even with the tracker, I check every day!)

I received an e-mail as well, telling me I had decision made. lol.

It sounds like something got "un-stuck". It did encourage me to go look and find out that I'm now "in process". ::)

Any idea how long it takes the MP to check into things and return an email?? We contacted him through email the evening of October 30th. Problem may be that our MP is Stephen Harper and as we all know he's a busy man.

WOOOHOOO you must be sooooo happy!!! We only had 15 days too it's not that much time when you think about it and if I would have to redo it I would send it all from the states so that I can track the return its hard not knowing when the COPR is coming in!

I was at DM since 13 October, so it seems odd to go back to in process, yes.

Does anyone know why some LA/Ottawa applicants are getting actual requests for their passport, and others only copies of the biopage? I don't get it..? There also wasn't any instructions to include additional immigration sized pictures..

Has anyone sent the biopage copy through email? I'm wondering if it's faster, since you eliminate the time traveled through the post.

We're still scrounging for the RPRF money, but should be ready to pay and send passport copy by the end of next week. Just not sure if we should snail-mail or email?

I have no idea! Mine said I have to send in Originals by MAIL! I just followed what they told me. I have been wondering the same thing but I have no clue why. I had to include 2 photos. From my observation (which I could be wrong) it seems like if you had the request from LA you have to send in the originals but if you get it from Ottawa you just send in copies but again I could be wrong!
