I hope so too. Unfortunately I submitted my application exactly 12 months before you!!

My ecas now officially says decision made. They started processing the application on October 28th!

Thanks everyone. Yep I has been quite the slog. Fortunately I have been living, studying and working in Canada with my common-law partner through the whole process but it is still an incredibly slow wait. Still won't take anything for granted until I have that PR card in my hand!

I received this in an email from CIC today: Dear Applicant, We are writing with regards to your application for permanent residence in Canada. We can confirm that this file is now ready for visa issuance. We will shortly be sending out your COPR (confirmation of permanent residence) document...

I think it is pretty irrelevant. Mine was assigned to MP01097 and my due date was 2014/03/08........I'm still waiting!

I have always emailed any updates or additional documents ad they got them fine. I am not sure if anyone else can confirm this though with the rprf? I am not sure.

The RPRF is one of the first things they look into alongside your medical when they start working on your application in London. They probably just haven't started to look at your application in London yet so I wouldn't get too concerned about it. However, as it says on the website, it is...

So my medical expires on July 23rd or 25th. Any idea if I can find out if they will extend it? I really don't fancy having to fork out for a new medical and go through the pretty much pointless examination they do again. Plus I will be going back to the UK for a trip when it expires.

No, definitely not the record I was hoping for. I gave up getting GCMS notes as they are always a month behind by the time you get them, but as I have still had no word I assume there has been no significant progression. Was going to wait the required 11 months out (late July) and then apply...

My file was received my London on August 30th 2013. No they didn't request any documents, the application was complete and paid for when I submitted it with the UK police certificate, RCMP screen results and medical completed form all included.

Your eligibility due date is usually 12 months from when they receive your application in London. My criminality due date was September 29th 2013 and is still in progress. i wouldn't read too much in to the due dates!

Yep my background check has been ongoing since Feb 6th, so 4 months!

Yeah, who knows? Mine appears to be a bit of an anomaly, it doesn't usually take this long but mine has been sitting there as recommended approved for 4 months now waiting for that final approval on eligibility. Criminality has taken that long also. I have a squeaky clean record in Canada and...

My notes say "extensive evidence to show common law for more than 12 months. No reason to doubt bona fide relationship recommended passed and sent to officer for final approval." and my criminality was set to in progress RCMP check initiated and completed on February 6th 2014 and has sat that...

Welcome to my world. It is entirely possible!!!

Thanks for all the info. There is so much conflicting information out there. I feel more comfortable about it now and will flag pole as soon as they finally dust my application off from sitting in a draw!

Awesome, thanks for the info. I was under the impression the airline always asked for a return ticket!

Yeah, but I have to travel as my partner and I have to go to the UK to for a wedding at the end of July and we are staying in Europe for 3 weeks so it doesn't make sense to land (providing I get residency by then) until we land from that trip as I can't fly in and out of Canada after I have...

I know I can flagpole at a border and they don't have to be linked but I thought I can't leave Canada and get back in by any commercial vehicle until I receive that PR card. I thought there was an issue with not having a return ticket when flying into Canada as I will not have PR card or a visa...

Nope still application received. I saw the permanent residency card wait is currently 85 days. Will have to wait to land after a trip late July/August anyway with a wait that long. Another stupid process. I guess I could drive to Seattle and fly from there but don't really want to pay for 3...
