Ours took about 6 weeks from pre-arrival letter to DM/PPR, however that included a time delay from having to send in additional docs. So normally it would have been about 3 weeks.

Yes it does, congrats! ECAS should change to "Decision Made" soon and once they issue the CoPR your GCkey will show "application approved".

Hi guys, my husband's CoPR arrived yesterday! We sent documents on March 16th. Technically, it arrived to us on Monday the 26th but we missed the FedEx delivery, and they needed a signature. They redelivered it yesterday, the 27th. 10 days turnaround time, if I count the first delivery attempt...

The blank space in between status updates is pretty common. Did you check messages in your GCkey? They may have sent a letter in your account asking for additional docs. It's possible that the "we need more docs" line is either an error or just referring to police certificate and Schedule A...

We sent in my husband's PPR documents on Friday, March 16, and according to FedEx return tracking, his CoPR is in transit and should arrive in a couple more days. Pretty quick turnaround for PPR. GCkey updated yesterday to "your application was approved". (Full timeline in signature below)

Average time that I've seen is 2 to 3 weeks.

We're about to send in our PPR - mailing passport copy from USA to Ottawa. Has anyone here gone through the regular postal service to do it? I've seen on here that most people have used FedEx. But I'm wondering if we can go through the regular United States Postal Service, and if creating a...

Ours took a little over 3 weeks from the day we sent them in to the day we received PPR.

The letter is your Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR), which means your application is complete and has begun processing. Next, your husband will receive a letter (or email, if he provided email address) inviting him to link his application to an online account - they'll provide instructions in...

My husband got Passport Request yesterday! We're August 17th, 2017 applicants.

He's from USA. His application stayed in Mississauga for the entire processing; it didn't get forwarded to his home country. Some cases stay in Mississauga for the whole process: both sponsor's app and PA's app. But we'll be sending his passport request to the US Visa office in Ottawa to receive...

I did not have a lot of evidence in our initial application, mostly because my husband and I had just decided in February of 2017 that we were going to move to Canada. I had wanted to move back for a long time, but we only recently started planning it. So at the time of our application, we...

Yes, Mississauga.

@jeff198901 My additional docs (proof of intent to return) were confirmed as received 6 days after uploading to IRCC webform. Then it was 15 days after that to receive Decision Made for the principal applicant's Ecas status. So total of 3 weeks from time of submitting them to get DM. DM was just...
