Congrats! Why would you need DM on ECAS though? Isn't PPR sufficient?

It's taking looong, we had IP three weeks ago and still nothing. In the meantime, I received the weirdest email saying:
In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents: Passport/Travel Document: Valid passport or travel document Please provide a valid passport copy via email with a validity date of at least 6 months
Please note:
All documents must be accompanied by English or French translations. When original documents are requested, notarised documents are not acceptable.
The above information/documents must be received in our office within 30 days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application. Please quote your complete application number on your correspondence and address your correspondence to the (Embassy, High commission, Consulate) at the address indicated below.

I'm really happy!!! PPR is definitely more than enough. Just wanted everyone to know that my ECAS haven't updated yet.

So we sent them the same thing via mail AND email. Their sense of guidelines is driving me crazy.

I had pcc request 2 weeks ago, no updates after that. Ecas still shows medical received. I wonder after you send pcc to the address mentioned in the mail, how long would it take for them to continue with the processing.
How long should i wait before DM. :(

First..when did your application reach CIC ?

Now to your inquiry....There's no set time instead there's a dependable range - 3 to 8 weeks. Most people will fall under the 3 - 4.5 week range. A limited population will advance from IP to DM between 4.5 - 8 weeks. My guess.. the 4.5 - 8week timeframe is due to a few variables - mostly time to mail back additional docs and pay RPRF free. Some people can respond to RPRF and PCC or additional docs within a week, others need more time. If you need a best estimate for the majority, 3 - 4.5 weeks is it. NOW.....there are cases that are complicated and can be forwarded to another visa office. This affect an even lower % ...this can cause staying IP for months (again this is in special cases)

Thanks for the help, mine was received October 24th and went into IP on July 7th. So you would think around 3-8 weeks until all is completed an PR has gone through?
