We have decision made today!!!! Listing as in process July 31st (only updated today).

Figures we spent a lot of money just yesterday paying for police checks to start the working holiday visa process for my partner. Just when we give up hope of getting a decision any time soon it happens!!

Out of curiosity does anyone know if COPR will be coming from Ottawa or London? We updated our address to our Ottawa address a few weeks ago and my partner entered under dual intent last week. I'm hoping it's Ottawa!!!

I also just remembered that my partners medicals expire August 14th. There is no way they can expect us to receive COPR by then and land before that date!? Here's hoping they have extended them. Has this happened to anyone else?

this is awesome news! so it went into processes only about a month ago and the decision is made already!!! that's so encouraging. I have been told twice now from the London office that it takes 8+ months to go from the 'in process' stage to 'DM"! this makes me happy!

I think im a bit confused as to my "application received in Mississauga" - I originally said feb 24th - as this is when I received my letter saying the application was now complete (as we had to resubmit a declaration of common law and re sign another form) so that's the date I am on the spreadsheet as... but when I log into check my status on immigration Canada, it says "application received November 17th" so I suppose that's the date they go on? I just assumed the February date because that's when the package was complete and they began processing me as sponsor... if anyone knows what to go by, please let me know. I would LOVE for it to be the November date!

Our application was kept in Ottawa not London. Also a lot of applications never actually list as in process in ECAS, ours never did. There was just a new note today saying in process on July 31st, but the note was added today when it went to decision made.

Congrats :). You are almost there Taffy. In my case, status changed to DM 4 days after my medical result was sent. But of course this varies from case to case.
