Just heard from the CIC in Canada. My COPR was posted on the 30th and they tell me it should arrive next week! Hooray :) I will update here when I have it.
They said they still don't know why I was given a landing interview in Saskatoon then taken off seems it was a processing mistake.

After a lot of email back and forth my immigration lawyer has insisted on submitting copies of my passport via email from their office in Toronto. This is despite my office being 200m down the road from the Sydney VO. I guess they are trying to do as much as possible to justify their fee ::)

The lawyer wasn’t able to receive large files via email so I've had to send them a low res black and white copy of my passport. Has anyone had any issues when submitting scanned copies? Has CIC pushed back due to the quality of the passport scan?

I will. I won't be landing until the new year. I have a trip booked to the states over New Years so if immigration is open here on New Year's Day then I will land then. If not ill be taking a drive to Nth Dakota and flag polling the weekend after. Can't wait!

Some good news - I'm finally done with MICC. They called my spouse to tell us that they have agreed that my name is my name and have amended their records. So now I am back to having only one legal name in Quebec :) Sydney has been notified.
I'm not sure if all this messing about with MICC has delayed things in Sydney or not. I keep looking at those of you who have already got your final decisions and am so, so envious!

Just collected my COPR letter from the Sydney VO... Woot woot!

Fingers crossed for everyone else who is waiting. Sydney is churning through applications at the moment at a rate of knots, I'm sure it won't be long now!

Good time for your COPR. Snow just comming !!!


I'm received email from sydney yesterday before I thought it's a PPR but is NOT!! They are ask for additional doc with I have to contact Australian authority which is gonna take at least 1-2 months to obtain.
