I just checked online and it said "Decision Made", that means I got it, right? that they approved me and I should get a letter in the mail any day, yes?

Congrats on the PPR 88mv! So we did get one today, or rather it was sent a few days ago (friday, maybe?). I'm wondering why you got it in the mail rather than via email. It seems most people get emails. I wonder how they decide that - whether to mail or email. Bah, it's probably random.
I have a feeling it might totally be upto the IO who sends out the PPR letter. Just another source of inconsistency in their procedure anyway ::).

If you haven't been called in for an interview, etc... sounds like a very good chance that you're approved. Hopefully you'll get your PPR soon :).

I'm pretty sure my letter was dated March 11. I just wish someone could do my photos before 8:30 when I have to work. Oh well, maybe I can sneak a long lunch? :)

I'm going to mail my passport, I can't justify the $300 airfare to Buffalo. Going to make my last day of work April 10th. :D
I did not sleep last night!

Aw, Congrats guys! I'm so excited for you that I can barely stand it!

I got "In Process" this morning. :D Now the wait. Do they need documents? Do they want to interview me? Did they lose my medicals? Will I skip "Initial Assessment" and go straight for a PPR? ???

I'm going to drive there. I thought it was 14 hours, it's actually closer to 10. It's about $200 in gas, RT. The cheapest flights I found were $400+. My last day is March 25!

Hey quakingaspen!

You should get an initial assessment, or as you said, you could go right to PPR.

If you do get an IA, expect it in about 30 days. It took almost exactly 30 days from the date I went In Process (end of January) to getting my IA in the mail (end of February), and now Decision Made (middle of March)

You won't be long now! Chin up! Start planning your move!!
