In my case the agents (I called twice) that they do not have any access to confirm about the decision. So far they and I, only know that decision has been made and letter will be sent soon.
They were like that the first time we rang, but then something had changed on their system the second time we rang, and they were able to give us details, such as the date my wife was approved etc.

Still nothing from them though, and that call was a week ago, we were told that SA was 5 May, so it is getting beyond frustrating to say the least.

Wow! That`s good to hear! Who did you call to get that info? My experience with the CIC call centre was less than useful...
The CIC call centre. Can't remember the number, but found it on here. You have to press 1 a few times, say a magic spell, sacrifice a small animal, and then - and only then - you may get in to a queue of endless length to talk to someone who knows almost as little as anyone calling.

Apart from that it's a flawless system......

We received COPR on May 11th!

We sent a case specific enquiry 4 weeks after sending in the passport photos, updated info chart, etc as stated on the document. After 8 weeks, we contacted our MP. During that time, London responded to our case specific enquiry saying COPR was "in the print queue and will be sent via mail soon." Then they responded to our MP a few days later saying they "will process the COPR shortly. We apologise for the delay, which was due to a clerical error." We finally received COPR after nearly 10 weeks.

Thank you so much to andrew-brit and SchnookoLoly for all of their help! Good luck to everyone!

That must have been a hard 10 weeks. Even though your application was processed quickly it must have been annoying/confusing waiting for it. Spreadsheet updated!

Congratulations on finally getting there. Hope your move goes well.

Is it standard procedure for everyone to have to send in new photos and a new information chart when they get DM or is it just a random selection who get asked for this? Also are the new photos requested for adults (who surely won't have changed much in 1 years processing time) or is it just for children?

Good morning London crew, as a Canadian in your country, my file has been transferred to your office for my families PR application :) File sent out May 7, March 9 applicant. Here's hoping for a speedy second phase, and a very good luck to the rest of you as well!

Before I add you to the spreadsheet are you married or common law?

Sorry guys,

just curious, would the COPR come to our address provided, or to the address of the representative? :) I am beyond thrilled we've made it this far so quickly, so please don't mistake my curiosity for anxiousness and impatience.

Finally landed!!

Sorry I have been very slack updating, its been a mad few weeks...my copr arrived at my address in the UK the day after I flew out to Canada to visit my sponsoring partner...of course...got it all sorted though.

To update on the spreadsheet, copr received April 14th and I landed April 28th. Very happy.

Good luck everyone :)
