It shouldn't change anything. Once you become a PR, your sponsor is financially responsible for you for the next three years, even if you break up. That is to say that they don't care what happens to your relationship once sponsorship has been approved; the responsibilities remain the same...

My partner is now officially a Permanent Resident of Canada! We took the train down to Niagara Falls yesterday and he landed at Rainbow Bridge. It took a bit longer than expected because our Canadian border agent had to leave part way through processing to deal with an urgent matter for...

We never got a passport request; we got sent COPR in the mail a few months after sponsor approval (with no updates in between). As far as I can tell, we were the first on the forum to have this happen, but I think it has happened to a few more people since then. I'm not 100% sure how they...

Thank you! Good to know. :) So looking forward to my partner landing and being done with this!

We're going to flagpole next week (taking the train down to Niagara Falls and doing it on foot). Does my British partner need to apply for a visa waiver via ESTA? We don't actually plan to visit the US. The CIC agent told us we can just walk up to American customs/immigration, tell them we...

Regarding the Goods to Follow form: Is it necessary to fill this out if my partner has no goods to follow? (We moved here over a year ago when he was on a working holiday visa, so all of his stuff--and there's not much, anyway--is already here.)

Congratulations to victorfoxtrot and Daisies and any other new COPR recipients! YAY!

My partner didn't care one way or another from a nationalistic perspective, but we were worried that we'd have to send the COPR back for a correction. Fortunately, we spoke to someone at CIC and e-mailed London to ask them, and both said it was fine--just to point it out when we land so they...

First of all, congrats on your COPR!!! Yay! I love seeing this forum light up with happy new PRs. Anyway, we did e-mail this London VO first thing this morning, so hopefully they can clarify. I was just hoping someone on this forum would have had this problem before and could tell me what...

Question about COPR: We just reviewed my partner's COPR document and it says his country of birth is England. In reality, his country of birth is Scotland. All of the other details are correct--for example, it says that he is a British citizen and that the country issuing his travel document...

Thanks to everyone, especially pinklady, for the tremendous support (and commiseration). This forum is wonderful! Not sure my sanity would have survived without the Internet... Others in the process: best of luck!

WE GOT COPR!!!!!!! It arrived in the post today (we live in Canada). This is very, very strange as we never got a PPR. Our application arrived at CPC-M on 25 July 2011. We got stage one/sponsor approval on 30 September 2011 (found out via e-mail). The London VO started processing our...

Hooray for the London VO! It's alive! IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! Franken-VO has risen! I hope everyone gets exactly the good news they were hoping for, and soon!

It's difficult to say for sure what the procedure is now! My partner and I got an e-mail a few days ago (after e-mailing the London VO ourselves asking for an update) saying our "permanent residence document" is already in the post. We haven't received the PPR yet, so we don't know if that is...

Don't be scared--whatever the response, best to find out as soon as possible so you can do something about it (if necessary). In my e-mail, I just explained that we saw the "decision made" update on eCAS, but neither my partner nor I had heard from the visa office yet and we would be grateful...

Alright, I'll be sure to post here when we receive...whatever it is that we're about to receive. Fingers crossed for COPR. It'd be great for us AND potentially good news for many other forum-mates!

Thanks--I was hoping to hear from you! (I figure you've seen it all on this forum, so you might be able to decipher VO language.) Has anyone else had this before (that is, COPR without PPR)?

I e-mailed the London VO yesterday to ask about the status of our application and got this e-mail back today (hurrah for quick replies!). Names have been changed, of course: Dear APERTURE (the sponsor), Thank you for your recent e-mail. Please be advised that the application has been...

Good idea. I'll e-mail them and see what happens.

eCAS has said "Decision Made" for several days now (apparently it was made on 4 January 2012), but neither my partner nor I have received an e-mail. We do, however, assume the result is positive. Would it be crazy/stupid to send in what we know already they're going to ask for? We're on a...
