Update: have been very late at reporting this but last three weeks have been crazy dealing with an emergency;

I'm a London applicant from September 2014 (SA on 30-October-2014);Application went into IN-PROCESS on July-13 based on E-cas; DM was around 23-July and COPR arrived in the mail on August-05; went for my landing with hubby at the Rainbow Bridge yesterday at 10 PM; had to wait for an hour otherwise officers on both US and Canadian side were very nice! Glad it's all over!

London has picked up some pace lately! Thanks a million to all the forum members for their amazing support/knowledge; specially schnooks, andrew-brit (urs is coming soon :)!!)

All the best to everyone else waiting! I will continue to be on this forum to answer any questions I can!

Just to share my experience with everyone; I applied in September 2014 and sent my application to Mississauga; I did my medicals back home in London in July 2014; since SA, I never heard absolutely anything from LVO; when my medical expiry came closer, I sent them a case specific inquiry to which they never replied even after the 28 days; on 13-July, it went into in-process on e-cas; after DM I dropped them a line again to know where things were at, and I still didn't hear anything from them; when COPR arrived, I saw that medicals had been extended by one year automatically. But I literally had zero correspondence since SA from LVO. For all those waiting, no news and logical progression of things on e-cas is good news based on my experience. Good luck to everyone!

Cheers'

Congratulations! I too have had no correspondence apart from SA, so this makes me feel a little better. Welcome to Canada eh!

blink1ate2, GISGeek: Spreadsheet updated.

@ blink1ate2 why are you special? I am a September applicant and still waiting for IP!

I am hoping my visa officer (if I have been assigned one....) is really proficient at my application but just does not update ECAS!

Edit: London is becoming the new Mississauga!

LOL I don't know why I am special! I hope London speeds up for everyone. I am sure I am not the only one that comes on here everyday in hope you have updated your own part of the spread sheet Andrew-brit
