I know the processing time for COPR may varies depending on the person.

But why delivery time from CIC makes such a big difference?

According to this thread the fastest applicants get approved the next day of PP received and sending back from CIC just takes 1 day.

My PP is supposed to arrive on APR05.
When can I expect my COPR?
Can't say for sure. Give it 3-5 days after your application has been approved on your CIC account. Mine took 5 business days...

I know how hard it is to wait for the PP when you know the application is approved after waiting for eternity. Good luck though Indigo

As there is a consultant between CIC and me, I need to expect another 2days...
My current employer is suck and I want to quit a job as soon as I can.

Some of the people in this thread got just 1day later than when CIC had dispatched.
Are they living near Ottawa?
My consultant is in Vancouver and I am in Banff so I can't expect such a fast delivery.

Canada post provide the service on weekends?
If so, I could get my COPR in week2 of April.
