Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. I'm in Canada, will I receive my COPR faster if I submit these documents to the office in Ottawa or London? I notice on the spreadsheet it takes some people less than two weeks but is a lot slower for others.

Thanks, that is what I thought. It asks for "A photocopy of the photo and personal information pages of your passport and of the passport of your accompanying spouse..."

This morning I received the email with instructions for the final stage of processing- sending up to date information and passport photocopies etc. I can't remember whether I should consider my spouse as "accompanying me to Canada" or not. She is a Canadian citizen and is sponsoring me, and we...

My application got updated on line today to Decision Made. That's exciting, I just hope its the right decision...

I put some details up for the spreadsheet, but I guess they got over looked. I've made so much use of the spreadsheet that I should definitely be contributing so my details are as follows; -Date application received in Mississauga 2014-07-16 -Whether you applied as Married or Common-Law Common...

Thanks. I guess I will fill it and send it to Mississauga, mark on the envelope what it is with my full name and UCI and hope that it finds its way to the right place.

I've just realised that I did not include IM5406 with my application. I misinterpreted the checklist somehow and didn't realise I needed to include it. What can I do to ensure that it finds its way to the right place? Also does my partner need to fill out this form as well as she is a family...

I would like to be added to the spreadsheet please. App rec'd: July 16th 2014 Status: Common Law Visa Exempt And I am in Whistler, BC. Thanks to everyone who runs such a great resource!

Application for common-law has been sent! Woohoo! I have a tracking number so I will make another post when it is received in Mississuaga so I can be added to the spreadsheet.

I just had a look at the spreadsheet and I am very happy to see 2014 applications are starting to be approved. Congratulations everybody! I am in the process of finalizing my application, and hope to have it sent of either by the end of today or tomorrow. Now that 2014 applications are being...

The spreadsheet is an awesome resource- I was planning to make an inland application as it would allow me to maintain a work permit, but looking at the results from 2013 it looks like I could potentially become a resident through an outland application to London before I would even have obtained...

Thanks very much for your help guys, I appreciate it.

The more time I spend on the CIC website, the more I find little tidbits of information that make me question whether or not my grand plan for immigration is all going to go as expected. After reading the following quoted text on the CIC website, I wonder whether or not I will be able to get...

Re: Questions about applying for open work permit with Inland application. Is anyone else able to confirm this?

Thanks for your help PMM. I've done some further research and discovered this page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2011/ob275C.asp Which goes on to state many exceptions to the 4 year rule and includes the following: "Permanent Residence Applicants in Canada (R207)...
