Thank God....finally a movement in my case. I woke up this morning to see decision made. I sent my original passport to LA about 2 weeks ago and it is still in their custody. I was wondering how soon they would return my passport now the ecas has been changed to "decision made"? Anyone have an idea?

I had a weird case, I was asked to come to LA for an interview for my PR but i had also applied for a TRV. Coincidentally I got the email asking me to mail my passport during my LA trip so after my interview i just spoke to the person explaining it wont really make sense to go back and mail my...

I know that...

Oh they already have the passport. Lol. So i am just looking for someone who is in similar situation or has been, to talk with.

I am still looking for someone else in this case as mine where LA office asked for original passport and not copies. Anyone??

Thanks. According to the email I got they were "pleased to confirm the completion of my PR", that means approved right? Also not sure I understood your answer "At the same time". Does this mean when I receive my passport back I would receive it with the visa and the CoPr in the same mail? Or...

Thanks I guess it's confusing too. Because my application went through Ottawa too but then transferred to LA, and it's LA that requested my passport so I assumed LA would be what I'd call my "visa office". Plus I just imagined most of the CPP-Ottawa people were inland applicants. I guess I was...

Hi, I see this thread is for those with US visa offices. I have noticed most of the applicants are from the US as american citizens. Is there anyone on here using a US visa office but not from the US? I hate to believe that I am the only one. Please let me know if your case is similar to mine...

Thanks a lot! One more question, for a non visa exempt country, when do they send the copr? after they return your passport with visa? Or do they return your passport with copr and visa together?

Wow google has been awesome! I just found a website called Trackitt - http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/family-class , apparently i found a few cases like mine! Just a few but at least it gives me an idea. According to what i am seeing, the visa stamping is pretty much like the...

Yeah i think i just read it on their site that everyone receives a COPR...now I am still wondering it would all play out. If they will return my passport empty and tell me to just wait for PR, or if my passport will be returned with the COPR or if it will be returned with visa and....okay i'm...

so for "PPR" is it always an actual letter in the mail or an email? I just ended up emailing them asking for a time frame, because when it comes to sending original documents like a passport, I don't believe it should be held indefinitely...its too important a document to not have an idea when...

The LA spreadsheet I saw, seems like everyone was from a visa exempt country and they were not asking for actual original passport but photocopies, so it did not really help my case, except i did not look properly. Is there another spreadsheet that separates these cases btw visa exempt and non...

yes i think you are right. According to the email i received, they want me to send my passport with a return envelop. So my guess is that it would have the PR visa. What my question is really...is how long will I have to be without my passport when i send it to them. It seems like there are very...

Oh! Well it's not so similar as you have your passport intact and just sent copies- so you are kind of not "stuck". Since I am not from a visa exempt country they need my original passport and that is what worries me. I am looking for someone else who has had to send their original passport to...
