Wow! Congrats to ToqueEh! And we can only hope that our apps will move along as quickly as the recent posts. Really positive vibes after a very long and depressing strike.

Was just wondering if my post could be edited? It is much appreciated that I've been added to the spreadsheet, however, a quick edit would be really great:

samarah.arafat - file received at Mississauga on 04 June, 2013, NOT 29 May.

Thanks a bunch! :)

If I could be added to the spreadsheet too please that would be great. :)

Type: Common-Law
VO: London
App Filed: 2/8/2013
App Received: 6/8/13
Sponsor Approved: 21/8/13

I've seen a few here put "App sent to London VO" on their info. Is this the same as SA? Or have some had some confirmation its on the way to London? I've not had any contact since the SA (not that I was expecting to), although my ECAS does say the medical results have been received which I gather is good news. From what I can gather looking at older spreadsheets you don't get an AOR from the London office even though mine is hopefully there now?

Many thanks! Congrats to all on the recent progress.

On my SA email it said they were sending my file to London. So that is why I put that date as my file transfer date. I don't believe you do get AOR over there.

APPROVED!!! :D

Sent an e-mail requesting status on our application over the weekend, and just received this e-mail back overnight:

Good morning,

Your application was approved and finalised on 23/9/13. We are in the process of issuing your Confirmation of Permanent Residence form. You should expect to receive the document shortly.

Kind Regards,
CDD


ECAS has also been updated to Decision Made in the last 2 days.

Hopefully the COPR will come in the next couple of weeks, as I have a trip out of country planned mid-October, and would love to land upon my return.

It's been almost 9 months since our application was received, and we are so happy and grateful that this journey is coming to an end. My spouse and I cannot wait to begin our future together in Canada!
Hey Oslofish, congratulations to you both! May I ask if you have received the COPR yet? My application has changed to "decision made" as well and I am going nuts not knowing... :p By the way, are you Norwegian? :) The best of luck to you and your spouse!

DECISION MADE!!! YESSSS!!! I logged into ECAS yesterday and was still in process, today it has changed to DM.

I must be up there as one of the longest apps of 2013?

I actually shed a tear when I saw that line on ECAS - what a wimp lol. I think months of stress just caught up with me in one go!

I will let someone else do the honours and edit the spreadsheet because I have been waiting a long time for this moment.

As I become just another green line on the history of the spreadsheet, I want to thank everyone who has offered support and advice.

That is fantastic news, congratulations Mark! It does look like you were the longest 2013 application so far!

So, today is the day. It is 7am here on the West Coast and I have just woken to the two words every applicant longs to hear.

DECISION MADE!

I am so very thrilled and so excited - and Mark, I too just shed a little tear of happiness and relief. Mostly relief though that this process is now over!

I guess I just sit tight and wait for my CoPR. Waiting an extra couple of weeks is nothing compared to a year I put in.

Without this forum I would have gone crazy! Thanks to all the members for your help and to Sweden. I would love to buy you a drink when i am on the Island next year! :)

Cheers everyone! xo

Awesome!! Yours took forever so your relief must be enormous. It's a stressful process this.
And I fully agree - this Forum is a real source of encouragement.

And thank you for the congratulations one and all!
