Wow. Great news. Good luck shif. Looks like Parkdale is very popular. I think I know which building you are talking about.

Anyway, it's good to know things are going in good direction. That clears the path for us. Hopefully we are next.

Sorry guys, I was in buffalo so couldn't respond..

Shiff - Just tell him to drop in to find out the status.. Doesn't really matter what he asks.. With the rain and the power outages and terrible postal system they have in Colombo, he could easily miss the call or emails.. Tell him to let them know what Ecas says. Take a print out of it.. And just ask. He may or may not get any thing... BUT, at least you guys tried right..

What exactly did it say btw on ECAS? As in the wording.. And when you clicked on it what does it say?

Let us know!!

So happy for you :)

For me, it looks like they will call you this week. I read on other thread (non sri lankan visa office threads) they mostly get PPR request right after 2 weeks of status changed. I hope you will get good news this week. Does he live in Colombo?
When did you see this status change? Do you know when they changed this status?
They received my application 15 days after urs.

Above link is last year's applicants from Colombo.. The people on that thread were in our situation and thought it would be helpful. I'm sure you guys have seen it around :)

Note that the change for them happened 6 months after the the file reach CIC Colombo too on Ecas. So this is good..

yeah.. I think it would have been a similar time line. I hope we all get some news soon. This week has started off badly for me. I'm getting really nervous about my husband's application. But I figured that some days are going to be good and some not so great. We signed up for this right.. So might as well deal with it. I am very very worried about hubby's meds expiring and then another delay happening.

aggghhhh.. another delay is not what we need right now :(

I dont think that will happen. They will call your man in next week or so and give him visa. Then you are going to give me a party for told you this early.
I seen it happend to some ppl.
As you said, yes...we singed this even after seen it with in our friends and relatives. So we have to go through it. If life has button "undo" then it would be different story.
