Just posted this on another thread, but I figure it's most appropriate here:

I woke up this morning to Decision Made!

There's no 4th line, but I'll take DM any day! I'm hoping it's a favorable one.

Timeline is as follows:

Application Sent: May 5th
AOR: June 3rd
SA: July 7th
IP: October 9th
RPRF/Additional Proof of Sponsor Residency Email: October 23rd
DM: November 14th

I'm hoping more of us received DM today, too. I know it usually happens in waves. :p

I remember you are in the same batch with me, for IP and RFRF emails, but I have not received DM yet. I am not from visa-exempt country so I guess my DM would come along with a PPR.

Did you received any email in the morning or you found out DM by yourself in ECAS?

I checked ECAS this morning. I haven't seen an email, nor a 4th line that says, "We sent you correspondence on XXXXX."

I'm hoping I see an email next week. If not, I may give the CIC a ring to see if someone will tell me if it's been approved, denied, or was a mistake and they're just screwing with me. ;)

Did you send the email right away after getting "additional information request"? on 23rd?
I have ecas saying they sent email for additional info, which is the date I got 2nd additional info request email.

Thank you! I'm hoping it's a sign of things to come for May applicants.

I replied to the additional info request on the 23rd right away—I'd say within a few hours of it being sent to me.

I never saw a line "we sent you an email for additional info" on my ECAS at all. It's been 3 lines since I went IP on October 9. I know some people see things on ECAS that others don't, and both wind up with DM, etc.

I have a suspicion some of that has to do with the officer in charge of the case.

Thanks!

I'm hoping you get good news soon, too. If anything, it means that they're making progress into May applicants. Our time has come, and before the holiday season no less.

Ottawa for me. Congratulations again! Please add/update your information on the 2015 spreadsheet if you haven't already done so. It really helps everyone to gauge processing times! :)
