Evidently the CIC mailed my CoPR in late April, and it has been lost in the mail. Since I mentioned to them that I did not receive the documents, the CIC has cancelled the CoPR. Now I have to resubmit photos and a pre-paid envelope for them to send a new CoPR. So much for this being a smooth...

Has anyone that has received a DM from the Ottawa office not received their COPR within the usual couple of weeks? I received DM on April 30th, and have been away since today. I was expecting the COPR to be in the mail, but unfortunately haven't received it. Should I try to call the CIC? If...

Yes, who would have known!? Congrats to you and kudos to the Ottawa office for working overtime!!

We just saw an update to Decision Made in eCAS on April 30 through the Ottawa VISA Office. We are beyond excited! And casting hopes for more DMs to come for others!

Congratulations!! That is amazing speed! I hope that we are as fortunate.

I think I received my police report about 3 weeks ago, for a total wait time of about 16 weeks. So, if you're on a similar timeline then you should be receiving yours very soon! How are you going to package up your report to send to the CIC? We're now waiting for SA before we send it, but...

We received our AOR today! Now the (hopefully) short wait for SA. Congrats to all the others getting AORs and SAs!
