Hi there... My wife and I have been reading this forum since January (I'm British, she's Canadian)... we haven't posted, but it's been a huge comfort to be able to follow other people's timelines.

However, today I received my COPR and thought I would share my timeline in the hopes that it gives someone else some hope/comfort in the way that many previous posts on here have done for me and my wife.

App filed: 23rd March 2012
AOR: None
File Transfer: 29th June 2012
Meds Done: February 2012
COPR Received: 24th October 2012

I contacted CIC on the 5th October to notify them of a change in employment and received an email back (from London... I know, I was shocked too!!!). They said "Thank you for letting us know of a change in your employment... blah blah blah.... your file will be processed some time within the next few months".... The only vaguely useful bit of info they did give me was that the file was transferred to London on the 29th of June and received in London on the 18th July 2012.

ECAS has shown "application received" since just after 29th June... having logged in ten minutes ago, it only shows "in process" with info showing that they started processing the file on 19th October 2012.

We will be landing sometime around the 5th December.

Thanks again for all your posts, they really helped us through some of the tougher days... I wish all of you the very best in your applications.

Craig

Just received this from London today. Not sure what to make of it yet.

Dear XXXX,

As you stated that is your wifes UCI number. Your UCI number is XXXX XXXX.

Your file is currently under review with an officer and they will be in touch should they require any further information or any additional documents.

Regards,
CSU (AJM)


At least I finally have a UCI number that works and shows my address and not my wife's

I JUST GOT COPR!!!! My wife an I are so excited, I can't believe the wait is finally over, almost 8 months.

The COPR letter just arrived in the mail, ecas never changed to 'in process' so I had no idea they were even working on it, it was a real surprise when it arrived in the mail today.

Our case is relatively straight forward at least I think, the only thing that complicates it now is the expiry of my medicals (in 6 or 7 days) which I am worried about because a further medical probably means I wont make it out to Canada this year so hopefully an extension is granted. We have been together 7 years so I guess at worst case another 2 or 3 months wont kill me lol

Wishing you a happy life in Canada and congrats (jealous lol)

Finally some positivity from London!
Congrats everyone

Hello everyone,

On our sponsered person's ECAS today it shows the home address updated to our Canadian one. Does anyone know if this means we are close? A few people after us have already gotten COPR, and I'm hoping its going to be our turn soon. Our ECAS has not even changed from application received yet though.

Congrats,

Your road is almost at an end. It means that visa issuance is the next step and will come pretty quickly, likely within the next week or so. ECAS can be unreliable at the best of times but from what you said, congrats are in order.

CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WITH NEWS!
I am so exited for you all, but mostly because I know am almost there. 8)

Congratulations! great to hear that you got it before flying at the end of November, that's perfect! and weird about ecas... somehow it gives me hope - maybe mine is on its way to Canada, and they haven't bothered changing ecas.... that would be a relief!
Cheers,

Good luck in Canada,
