Do you have decision made? We got DM last Saturday and haven't heard a word. I thought we might have gotten the passport request by now, but nothing yet.

Have you checked your Spam Folder? Or, the Junk/Trash folder? Some recent applicants who got DM'd and have been waiting for PPR, few days to a week have passed and realized that the PPR message was just sitting in those folders mentioned.

Yeah, we're careful to check everything! We've both been watching our emails. Interesting tidbit ... my husband, who is the applicant, has never received a single message throughout the entire process. The CIC has sent all communications through me. So every day I'm telling him to check his email, just in case!

Still waiting. Hopefully this week. Most people don't have to wait long for the passport request, do they?

Ecas just updated to DM yesterday! Is it normal that ECAS would say Decision Made under 'Permanent Residence Application Status' but then when I click that link the only notes are
  1. We received your application for permanent residence on December 29, 2016.
  2. We started processing your application on January 21, 2017.
  3. Medical results have been received.
But there is no mention there of decision made?

MyCIC still shows background check in progress (which started about a week ago). Hoping for PPR soon!
