Well, I didn't know what that was cause never had to apply for it. My spouse was on a visitors visa before we went to the land border.

My wife is from a visa-exempt country, so she only needed to bring the COPR, passport (visitor's visa or ETA inside). They just checked my license which they used to confirm her address. I guess you could also just bring in a electric bill or rental agreement. But a spouse's driver's license...

Just a quick update about the end of our process. The final part went smoothly compared to the DM to PPR part. We received our COPR in the mail about two weeks ago Friday, and directly drove to the land border. The border guards were stern and serious at first, but at the end she said...

It's true, the VO just tell you to wait within the processing time. The best advice I can give you is to link your ECAS and check if the FINAL DECISION box says that it has be approved. IF it does say that, they MUST have sent it out. I called them last week and they kept telling me to wait the...

You have to download the form by searching for it on the Canadian Border Services page or just Google. It should be submitted right after landing in Canada after immigration. Immigration will send you to an area (at least YVR they did). It is just a form stating what you're bringing into Canada...

Our PPR got lost in the mail. I called it in and the first time, the officer said that I needed to wait the 13 months it says for my spouse's country. I checked my ECAS and CIC and it said "Decision Made" and found that it was already approved. So, I called again and was told again to wait. I...

IMHO, I don't think he'll have to. They aren't really items for settling.

If it's just in his suitcases, and it's nothing very valuable there shouldn't be any issues. We sent over 12 boxes with household goods, electronics and clothing. We just needed to declare on the form the value and state that any electronics brought in were not purchased within that last 6...

Just a quick note for all May applicants from visa-exempt countries, your final document may get lost in the mail. I just called in to check on my application because it's been over 2 months after my status changed to "Decision Made". The first time I called in, they told me that DM means...

I arrived in Canada last month and we were supposed to have a Customs form (B4 or BSF186) accompanied by a list of items and description of goods. However, we forgot to prepare one, so luckily they let us through and told me to submit one at a later time. Go to the Canada Border Service Agency...

I applied from Korea in May for my Korean spouse. It got forwarded to Ottawa, not manila. November 3 will be the six month mark. My ecas status is DM, but no correspondence from them yet. Hopefully, they're sending the COPR..

You were so lucky, man. My application has been on DM for over a month with no email or PPR or COPR in the mail. Waiting and waiting... My app was processed in Ottawa, but I called and he said DM could stay like that for awhile..

Thanks for the heads up! However, I just read that the PPR is only sent to applicants from countries that aren't visa-exempt... Just wondering, is your spouse or principal applicant from a visa-exempt country?

Here's what I copy/pasted from ECAS: 1. We received your application for permanent residence on May 5, 2016. [- AOR1 received in email] 2. We started processing your application on June 13, 2016. [- SA email received in email on Jun 17; application forwarded to Ottawa] 3. We sent you...

I found my answer! Thanks. I guess I just need to wait for the COPR in the mail since my wife is from a visa-exempt country.

Today, my IN PROCESS status just changed to DECISION MADE! Now, I need to just wait for a passport request or COPR. What's the next step? Does the PPR (passport request) come by email? The sponsored applicant's email or the sponsor's?

Mine got sent to Ottawa too, but I'm still waiting on my DM status. You called them and they confirmed that after DM, it would take 4 weeks for the COPR? My app was filed May 5, but I couldn't include an upfront medical. Medicals have now been received as of Aug 3, but I'm worried the COPR...

Hi. Mine got sent to Ottawa too on June 13. Still haven't heard anything yet. Mind you, we didn't send an upfront medical. We sent it yesterday or the physician did.

Ah! AOR2 is received by the applicant eh? I've been checking my email. I should notify the wife.

I tried to make one too, but you have to be a higher star member to post links. At least that's my guess. I also couldn't post a link.
