Just checked on our application today (first time in a while), only to find it at 'Decision Made'!

I don't know if it was luck or Ottawa picking up speed; we submitted Aug. 19, 2015, got SA on Oct. 10, 2015, and this today. 177 days/6 months to DM, and just waiting on the COPR now.

Yes we are a US applicant and VO is Ottawa. We started it all on Aug 28 so it moved pretty quick. It just didn't feel like it. I must've checked our Ecas at least 4 or 5 times a day!

Did you get the email requesting more photos and passport copy? We got that yesterday, I think it's about two weeks after they get that info.. But apparently not everyone gets that request ::)

We didn't get a request for anything b/c we sent copies of our passport with our application. We had also sent the photos at the start as well and luckily we sent in the right size photos too. I heard that the size had changed shortly after many people had sent in their application. So, i guess we have a few weeks to wait for COPR if i'm guessing correctly.

Yeah we sent all that in too with the right size photos at the time (the new size is huge!). Who knows why they request it from some and not others haha I'm just glad its almost done :)

Seems like a lot of progress was made with august apps this week, hope the DMs keep rolling in!!
