Hi,
I'd be happy to add our file to the spreadsheet. We applied in July 2013 and my step-daughter just received her Confirmation of Permanent Residence by courier yesterday. She is in Canada studying at university, so we will have to do a "flagpole" landing sometime in the next few months (before the COPR expires.
Here is our info:
Applied Outland received at Mississauga - July 24, 2013
CIC Visa Office - Beijing
Sponsor Approval - August 21, 2013
AOR and PPR - both on September 19, 2013
Additional documents request (including photos showing relationship to mother over her lifetime !) - September 19, 2013
File In Process (on e-cas) - November 21, 2013
Decision Made (as viewed on e-cas) - January 14, 2014
COPR received - January 23, 2014
COPR approval dated - January 9, 2014
This may appear to be a relatively quick timeline of 6 months, however this was a re-application as she was initially "non-accompanying" by mistake and not given a COPR at the time her mother (my spouse) received approval. So we have been waiting a long time for this.
Looking forward to a refund of this term's International Student Fees !! ;D ;D
Good luck everyone, patience is the key. We are all so blessed.
