From experience, I would recommend getting your Police Certificate ahead and send it with your application. They have been returning applications without any police certificate over the last year, so it is better to be safe and send the application with it. Also, obtaining the VOG from the...

Temporary stay as my partner is from, but we were in the Netherlands before :) Great place to be this summer though ! Coming to an end soon as I'll be heading to Canada on August 10. I believe we sent everything on July 2nd to VFS and we received the paper version of CoPR on the 21st...

So, if I were you, I would take a deep breath. If you have Decision Made on the Principal Applicant side on eCAS, that's generally good news. Any interview request or other would have happened before any decision was made on the application. I would say just be patient now.

Ah, can't comment in this case ! They requested we go through VFS in our PPR Letter, so we went through VFS in Helsinki. We got updates from the moment we sent until it came back our way. Hopefully you'll get CoPR in hand soon :)

Additional Documents, when submitted via webform, can take a couple of weeks, depending on the VO. 5 days is really nothing to worry about. We received an email confirming the receipt of our documents once they reached the VO and all was good. You just have to be patient and not read into...

Did you send through VFS ?

Basically, it is the letter you received from the High Commission after PPR, once your documents have been forwarded/move to the embassy and your application is approved. It just lets you know the documents are on their way to you, what they are and what to do. Goes about like this: "Your...

If you sent to VFS or something of the sort, you should get update on where the package is and all that. It took a week for us to get the paper version in hand :)

Received the exact same thing. This is not an error. One of those forms is the CoPR, which you should receive by mail. The second is the visa, which is either added to your passport if you are not from an eTA country or applied electronically if you are from one of those countries. We received...

Pre-Arrival does not equal PPR. Now, if you have Decision Made, which basically means exactly what it says : that a decision has been made on your application, then as time moves along, it may become more interesting. In itself, Pre-Arrival is a good sign but not at all a sign that PPR is coming...

The pure joy this morning when UPS delivered the paper version of the COPR and Visa form for entry :D I am giddy. Finally FREE. I really hope y'all get some great news soon !!

Just a heads up here I guess, Beijing does the work, but PPR and DM does not come from Beijing. Depending on your location, it will come from the primary VO. In our case, since we are/were in the Netherlands, the Primary VO stated online is London. DM and PPR came from the LVO and not Beijing...

Thank you ! Yeah, glad I could figure this out, much less of a headache and very excited to get home to see my family now :D

Officially got confirmation of Approval and CoPR. Everything's in the mail from London, but its basically over now. We will be able to live together in Canada !! I'll be flying out August 10 in the end, 14 days after my second dose of Pfizer, so even better.

It is, it is Pfizer. Though, I will already be getting it way sooner than normal per Europe standard so really limited in options. I guess I will have to pay a ton of money for an horrible unpleasant experience without a chance to be reimburse and complicate deeply my return home. Oh, how good...

I need to travel first week of August latest, otherwise I will be, I think, overstaying my legal rights in Finland. I'd have to travel on the 10th to be exempt, but by then, I've overstayed my welcome here - as far as I understand.

Has anyone landed recently in Canada - PR or Citizens ? I am a bit worried about the whole 3 day mandatory hotel stay. I will have 2 vaccines, but the second will only about 7 days by the time I fly. Really not keen on that hotel stay and the added cost...

Gonna go for double post here. VFS has been a pain to deal with, but I think we finally got through. We received an email stating the following : I've been trying to see how we can track the application or details or whatever, but its all coming up empty. Anyone has an idea/can help ? Thank you !

Congrats ! Must be a relief ! :D

Hopefully that fixes the error. The system is a bit peculiar, I'd say.
