    Yes, I agree it was just bad luck. The woman was just bitter, or one of those who doesn't want immigrants. I do care and would like to help as many people as I can in this forum. There is nothing in my GCMS notes after decision made. My GCMS is very long (38pages) and hard to follow but I just...

    Update: I'm back from Mexico, I sent my passport yesterday. Also I got CAIPS for the first time. I only ordered them once because I had the "decision made" in my ECAS but took them weeks to contacted me. I haven't really look at my CAIPS since there are 38 pages and I wasn't that interested...

    60 days, they are giving 60 days to everybody I know. They used to give 90 days but they changed to 60 now, I don't know why.

    Great, that gives me hope. Someone suggested that one of the reasons why my PPR is taking so long is because probably my background check takes a long time (besides TA/RA experience I submitted many years or work experience in a few different institutions and companies). We'll see.

    Hey Guys, So, it has been a month since I first saw decision made in ECAS and still haven't heard from them, weird, eh? I'm gonna try to use murphy's law on my favor, like Tyrusx did. I'm going to Mexico on Tuesday, hopefully I get passport request while I'm there. Also, I requested CAIPS 10...

    Nop, I haven't gotten CAIPS yet, I just applied a week ago. It has been almost 4 weeks since I first saw "decision made" in my ECAS but they haven't contacted me yet. Crazy, eh?

    Thanks, that makes sense, but is a little late. I already sent the request. Hope it works.

    For ordering CAIPS is there a way to order on line, or everything is by mail? Does this link is the right one for ordering caips: https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do?lang=en ?

    Thank you for your reply Asbereth, and congratulations in your process success. I haven't eamil them because CuriousGuy was in the same situation and he said that when he emailed them he just got a generic reply saying the same that ECAs says. That a visa officer will contact him I thought it...

    It has been two weeks since I first saw "medical received" and "decision made" in my ECAS but I still haven't gotten passport request or heard from them. Any suggestions? Asbereth, I see in the spreadsheet that you got passport request. This was only a few days after you saw "decision made" in...

    I'm in the same situation. Almost 10 days ago I saw in my ecas the lines: "medical received" and "decision made" (bot at the same time). And I still haven't heard from them. CuriousGuy is in the same situation. He saw those posts in his ECAS more than 3 weeks ago. I don't know why they are...

    I don't remember exactly but I think it was just the day after they requested, (I had my fingerprints ready cause I knew they were gonna ask me for PCC), probably February 1st. It doesn't matter when I sent it anyway, cause I sent the documents to the Visa office in Mexico city (that is the...
