So far the final step has been a headache. We finally found a place to do the photos now we are trying to send our PPR with the prepaid label. FedEx said customs won't allow us to send a prepaid label in the envelope. We tried printing a different label from their computer but nothing would work. I have no idea what to do? Should we try UPS? Does fedex not know what they are talking about?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Ours reached on the 24th as well. No updates for us but I'm not sure if we'll know anything till it arrives. From what I've seen your gckey login thing will update to approved then copr is sent out but who knows how effective they're updates are. According to am email from ottawa it's 1-3 weeks and if not recieved by then to email them with tracking # of package to see what's going on.

The updates seem fairly accurate. We saw approved last night and our tracking activated today. It took approximately 10 days (including the weekend) from the time it arrived at Ottawa to tonight when it was sent back. I think the people who had PPR in late January were going a bit faster.

Based on what happened with me and a few other people around the same timeline, expect an update Friday or more likely Monday/Tuesday of next week.

Yup, going to be heading back to the U.S. to move everything this weekend. We should land on Sunday. I've been packing and organizing since October so all I have to do for the most part now is go back and shove everything into the truck. :)
