Yes it did - it arrived when I wasn't home so I got a notice from An Post though the letter box that it could be collected at the post office.

My speculation is that they request photos if the office processing your COPR is different to the office that processed your application. So they don't have to send the photos you originally submitted between offices. But that's just speculation. My original photos I sent are less than 6 months...

I sent a self-addressed envelope with my request for the photos etc. and my COPR was sent to me in the envelope I provided. I don't think it will be returned to you because of this, but it's safe to assume if you haven't followed the instructions there might be a delay with your COPR. I'd say...

My COPR arrived today! decision made was on March 10th, request for photocopy of passport, new photos and updated info via e-mail on March 17th (which I sent to London and was received on March 19th). Thanks so much for all the help, if it weren't for this thread I would still be freaking out...

If the application was retained in Mississauga (and maybe Ottawa too?) there's an option if you're outside Canada to get your COPR sent from the London office, so they seem to be requesting photocopy of info page from your passport, new PR photographs and updated information chart to be sent to...

Yeah, of course that makes sense that it's more effort for them if they have to take them all out - but unfortunately I didn't come across this forum until after I had submitted my application. It actually doesn't say anywhere in the current official instructions on the CIC website not to use...

Which instructions are you referring to? I never came across that (and yes, I read them quite clearly - specifically the country-specific instructions for Western Europe).

I used lots of staples, and paperclips, and alligator clips, and it was fine.

Mine is the same, I had contacted them earlier because my address was originally wrong on ECAS (it just randomly said "Vancouver, British Columbia" where I've never lived) as my home address, and was assured that they had my correct address on file (and quoted the country) - so I'm assuming it's...

Did you get any requests for copies of your passport or anything? Mine just changed to DM about a week ago and haven't had any communication from them.. is there any way of finding out what the decision is without waiting another 8 weeks for *probably* COPR in the post? (I know it's probably...

Police certificates in Dublin don't usually take that long (I requested one last Monday and got it last Friday), but I don't know if you're requesting from outside Ireland. Also, if you are in Canada I'd recommend getting the visa medical done there... it's €300 to get it done in Ireland and I...

How many photographs do they request? I might get them done now to speed things up, just got DM yesterday but no e-mail request yet.

Thanks for your reply - I'm visa exempt, but was wondering do I need my PR card if I want to travel outside canada after I have landed the first time? (I'm going for a week, then coming back and then moving for good in May) And where do I get the PR card like do they send it to my address in...

To anyone who has already moved to Canada: do you get your PR card or do you have to apply for it after you land? I was planning on visiting Canada in a couple of weeks, but only for a week (I just got DM so may not even have my COPR letter by then).. and then moving permanently in May. Can you...

Just a request to clarify my personal history - there was a typo that accidently made it look like I had previously spent a year in Vancouver on a working holiday as opposed to 3 months (even though I written that I was elsewhere for the rest of the time, i.e. there was overlap of the dates).. I...

My status just changed to "decision made"! Now I'm scared.. it took a lot longer compared to other Mississauga apps, I'm hoping it's just because I had to submit extra police certs?

Thanks everyone for the info so far. Just wondering, if you have a PR application in progress and intend to move to Canada while you're waiting for it to come through what should you say to the border officers? Is it fine to tell the truth that you're waiting for PR and will leave if it doesn't...

Has anyone applied for IEC working holiday visas while they are waiting for PR to come through? I'm not sure what to do - I'm planning on moving over in August and would hope that my application will be processed by then (being processed in Mississauga, received 22 Oct 14) - and was originally...

Yeah - I'm on the spreadsheet, app received in Mississauga on Oct 22nd

Sounds like your application is in line with mine - I also got a request for French police certs on Jan 19th (I think on the spreadsheet I just mentioned "additional documents") - Do you think this is slowing our apps down? I noticed that some applicants who applied in November have already...
