Same here!! :) It doesn't show that the FBI letter has been rec'd but they did email us to say it was. Don't be discouraged by e-CAS... it really isn't updated with all the info ;)

I JUST GOT COPR!!!! My wife an I are so excited, I can't believe the wait is finally over, almost 8 months.

The COPR letter just arrived in the mail, ecas never changed to 'in process' so I had no idea they were even working on it, it was a real surprise when it arrived in the mail today.

Congratulations! Hope you will be landing soon.

congratulations to everyone who got updates.

and the wait continues for PPR from Paris. Almost 4 months since file transfer back in July.
Sent them the updated PCCs and more proof of trips together in september, i wonder if it is even matched up in the file already.
What a long drag this turning out to be.

Hello Arbs.

Really happy you recieved your COPR.

My wife is a Canadian living in India and I'm an Indian studying in the UK. We had applied for PR in March end with all documents. On Aug 3rd my wife received a mail stating that the PR is approved and the file is being sent to London visa office which we selected as I am living in the UK. Its coming close to 3 months as of Nov 3rd and have not heard anything from London VO and are a little worried mainly because my student visa will expire in Jan 2013 first week.

1) I was planing to request for GCMS notes as I have a friend in Canada. Will requesting for the electronic notes hamper or delay my file processing in London ?

2) Is it worth sending the London visa office a mail asking them the status and putting forward my issue regarding expiration of my visa ? Would this give the London office the idea of sending the files to the Delhi office as my visa expires and can they take a decision to do something like that or is it done with my consent?

Hello Arbs

Can I know when did London visa office contact you for asking your passport and how long did it take for them to stamp the visa and send it back ?

Since my file seems to be being completely processed at CPP-Ottawa, and I'm terribly impatient, I decided to reach out to them via email again for an update (no update since PPR on October 19th). I emailed this morning and got another quick response.

They said "Thank you for your email, we are processing applications toward finalization on a daily basis, however, as we have a large volumes it could take another two to four weeks."

So, it looks like they're taking PPR pretty early, but it might take a longer amount of time to finalize things. At least for those wondering what's happening in Ottawa, they are doing something.
