Guys 15 days and counting. No message from CIC about transferring case to LVO for visa stamping.
In the same boat, hello!
I guess the best idea is to send one passport to Ottawa and attach a hard copy of the letter with it.
That's only if you're in Canada though.

Hi guys!
Long time lurker, just joined to post some good news and ask a quick question!

I just received my Ready for Visa email on the 16th, and my ECAS changed to 'Decision Made' late night on the 17th.

My question -
The CIC says, in the Ready for Visa email, to "Submit all documents by mail in a single package and send to the following address: CPC – Ottawa – PR, PO Box 9780, Ottawa ON, K1G 4B9." Does anybody here know if that means it has to be a standard piece of mail? Can it be a courier requiring a signature? I know they ask for an Xpresspost return envelope, but I'm wondering about how all of the documents and the passport is sent to the CPC in the first place. I was thinking of doing it via courier, but they don't mention a separate address for courier, which makes me think it has to be by regular mail. Any help clearing up the uncertainty would be appreciated!

Here's my timeline for anybody curious:
Sep 12, 2014 - Application Received
Jan 29, 2015 - AOR date
Feb 13, 2016 - Upfront RPRF
Feb 23, 2016 - Medical Request
Feb 23, 2016 - NOA/T4/Pay Stubs Requested
Mar 02, 2016 - Medicals Done
Mar 11, 2016 - NOA/T4/Pay Stubs Submitted
Mar 15, 2016 - Medicals Received
Mar 16, 2016 - Ready for Visa Email
Mar 17, 2016 - ECAS "Decision Made"

The wait and stress is almost over guys!
Hey, I know that some people from a non visa-exempt countries was sending emails to Ottawa for a permission to send the documents to a Local Visa Office.
Do you from a non visa-exempt country ?

Do you from a non visa-exempt country ?
Correct, I'm from India - I need a visa - and I applied from within Canada (Toronto, specifically).
