Did anyone hear anything from CIC this week? I am seeing the same pattern when the September applications received their AORs. There was a big gap between December and February. :'( :'( :'(

Received COPR in the mail yesterday ;D ;D ;D ;D.
If you don't mind me asking, when was your decision made and how long did it take to get CoPR? Thanks. I share your timeline and my status has changed to DM. Just trying to figure out how long I have to wait. I don't need my passport stamped.

From what I'm guessing they are going to increase the processing time to 22 months and all of us must wait until August ??? ??? :-X :-X

Did you try to contact local MP or CIC? It is taking far too long for your application.

It shouldn't take that long, plenty of my friends are getting constantly updates from CIC. One of my friends who is also a sept applicant just received COPR. I would not worry too much about it, but if your work permit is expiring soon, then you may need to consider applying for a BOWP.

All in all, send emails to CIC whenever in doubt.
Good luck to you and the rest of Sept applicants.

It took 6 days for me to get it by Canada post, it could be little more if you are staying outside Canada.

Thanks. I am in Canada. So hopefully, it will come soon. Did they mail your Copr right away? I am trying to figure out how long does it take for them to send the letter after the decision has been made.

I've tried calling CIC many times, but still haven't managed to get through to an agent. Sent additional docs on March 16 and nothing since...
