[looped05]

I'm wondering how do you know if your visa was approved or not? do they email you? and i mailed my passport to them on november 9th (my visa office is in buenos aires) does anyone know if i will get it soon? i already paid for my Right of Permanent Resident.

It's difficult to know because each VO is different... some ask for the passport early in the process ( even before they have made a decision), and some rather at the end. I am not sure about Buenos Aires, but if it's towards the end, then you should hear back from them soon. What does ecas say for you ? If you have sent your passport and it says "decision made", then I suppose you will have your passport with a visa soon!
Good luck,

Ecas is not very reliable... sometimes it says in process and the visa is issued, sometimes it says "decision made" and the visa is issued, it's not often very updated... but if it says "inprocess" it means that for sure they are working on your file, so that's good news...
Good luck for the last waiting part, you should be pretty close!

no they don't... usually you will see "decision made" on ecas, and you will have a few lines, reading :


We received your application for permanent residence on DATE

We started processing your application on DATE.

Medical results have been received.(this line is not always there)

A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.

so once you see that on ecas, you know that your passport is probably on its way back, and with the visa in it, if everything went well. If you have not been asked for extra documents, no interviews, and you have a "straightforward" case, then it should be a positive decision, but there is no way of knowing it until you receive your passport back with the visa...
Good luck - fingers crossed you will hear back from them very soon!
