I was in the same situation...about 2 weeks after I received my CSQ, I received a request from the VO to pay the RPRF. I had actually paid the week before, but they said sometimes payments don`t make it into their system from Mississauga for 3-4 weeks.

My e-cas says it`s in process, but there`s nothing about medicals.

I wonder if they don`t even request them until they receive the CSQ. It could be most things are on hold until that CSQ is in their hands.

I hope it was good news for both of us! Good luck on your journey!

Hi Boomerang,

I just logged into ECAS under my file number and name (previously I had done so under my boyfriend's name and IMM5401) and it said that my medical results have been received.
So now we have paid the RPRF and are just waiting for further updates...

Hope your application is going well!

Wow.... haven't been on in a while as I've been busy moving, great to see so much progress!

I still cant even get a reply from my inquiry to change my address and I'm leaving my island exactly a week from today. I've now sent my fourth just this morning (been trying since the end of May)..... I know they have received them as I get the auto response every time.... any pointers?

Hello Marchers!

Just for anyone who is keep track of timelines... I got my passport request today via email!
It seemed to go by very quickly once it arrived London... applying for the CSQ caused an extra processing times in my timeline.

This forum gave me so much information and advice, I don't think I could have out together the application without all the things I learned here.

Just an update. Our E-cas finally changed to decision made, we received our PPR back on June 7th. I also just checked my return waybill from UPS and it says it has picked up our package from Buffalo this evening.

Can't wait for tomorrow! Will update after I pick up our package tomorrow :D

Thank you everyone, it's been a real pleasure having this forum to relate to during this process!

Hi everyone :D Just picked up our package from UPS this morning. Visa and COPR enclosed! Now we just have to organize some time to drive down to California to pick up some of his belongings.

Unfortunately we don't have our own place yet, because it cost an arm and a leg to own your own home out here. So I believe we need to bring a "goods to follow" list. Anyone know if there is a maximum time before you have to bring everything over?

Anyways thank you EVERYONE for being here! Its been a pleasure and relief to have all you here. Update later after we land! Good luck Marchers!

Hooray!!! Going to Canada!!!

I got my PPR today...."We are now in a position to request passports for visa issuance."

I have until August 8, 2011 to submit it together with photos.

I hope this frees up more time for our friends in Nov-Feb groups.


Does anyone know about how long it takes between the time I send in my passport and the time I receive my visa?
