So it took 3 weeks from DM and 16 days from London to Toronto. I am losing hope of getting mine before Christmas!

Spreadsheet updated! Good luck with your landing.

Just checked Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed delivery service.. Supposed to deliver between 5 and 7 working days. However judging from snowglobe's update and my case, its taken longer than the stated time.

Fingers crossed you have yours delivered really soon or at least before new year. Thats hoping LVO dont take too long printing your docs and royal mail doesnt get blogged with christmas deliveries.

My COPR went to my London address and it was sent via Royal Mail 2 weeks ago and still haven't got it even though it arrived in Canada over a week ago, I rang them and they said it's slow due to holiday season.

MrsArun do you mean that it went to London, UK and then you had someone send it via standard Royal Mail to your address in Canada?

I just checked ECAS for the millionth time in the past few weeks and the PR application status says Decision Made! :eek: ;D (Sponsorship application status is still In Process even though we got SA months ago... Way to go, CIC...)

Since we never had any requests, it should be a positive decision - although I'm naturally still nervous, since we didn't send as much proof of communication as many others, and the proof of our first six months of cohabitation wasn't great either. But surely they would've emailed us for more proof if they needed it.

I clearly have no hope of landing before January 4th, which is too bad, since that's when my work term starts and I still don't have my co-op work permit which I applied for on September 22nd. But hopefully I'll be a PR before the end of January. We are very lucky to get our application processed so fast.

This forum has been a great help, thanks and good luck to everyone and especially the maintainers of the spreadsheet! I'll let you know when I receive the COPR.

We just got an email saying ready for visa! How exciting. No change on Ecas though.

One quick question if anyone can help. The PA passport expires Dec 4, 2016 - do you think we are going to have any issues?

Does everyone get the request for new photos and passport scan? Do they send it to the principal applicant's email?

I am not sure? We applied through London but we ended up being processed in Ottawa. I would say that has something to do with it as we have to send all this stuff to London. Yes they sent it to PA email. Ecas still showing in process
