On Wednesday, 20 Feb 2013 @ 1645hrs, I received a phonecall. It was from Canadian High Comm saying that my passport and COPR is ready for collection! I collected it from the office the very next morning and am resigning from my job today! Took them 7 weeks to hold my passport. sheesh.
Don't worry about ecas status too much. It was never really accurate for me. Now that my process is over, it still says "in process". No "medical had been received" nor "Decision Made".
It has been a really tough journey for all of us and I thank each and everyone of you for sharing your experiences and timeline here. It has definitely helped me. And for those still awaiting for your PPR or your passports returned, I wish you all the best and may your waiting come to a happy end.
