Some countries are required to apply for a travel visa to visit Canada, and some aren’t required to get a travel visa (so they are Visa-exempt). I hope you application moves quickly from this point! Waiting is so difficult.

Thank you so very much for this clear and complete answer, @Hurlabrick ! This is super helpful! (and something that our grossly overpaid immigration consultant was unable to do for a single one of our questions throughout this process). I appreciate it immensely!

We received our CoPR today!!! It was sent by Royal Mail to our immigration consultant here in Canada. ‍♀️ SUCH a relief to have it in our hands. We are now going to plan a trip back to Scotland in January to pack up the house and put it up for sale. Is it wiser to NOT land yet here in...

Thank you @Hurlabrick We ordered our case notes Oct 17th as well as Nov 26th, and have heard nothing yet. I also send a case specific inquiry regarding this the third week of November, and then another one yesterday (which is what the agent said was the best thing to do when I finally got...

Y’all. I’m losing my mind here. Does anyone have any idea of timeframes from London Visa Office for receiving CoPR after DM, and how it will arrive (email as well as sent in the post?). My husband is from the UK, so Visa exempt. We are just over six weeks since DM on ECAS, we got pre-arrival...

@canuck_in_uk, do you have any idea of timeframes from London Visa Office for CoPR, and how it will arrive (email as well as sent in the post?). We are just over six weeks since DM on ECAS, we got pre-arrival services email around then too, and the automated number we’ve been calling (no access...

We are London Visa Office. (App was sent there 5/26/18) Received Pre-Arrival Services email 10/31/18 DM on ECAS 11/2/18 Phoned the IRCC # on 12/5/18 and found out via recorded message that our application was approved. So it’s been 5 weeks today since we got DM on ECAS, and no CoPR in that...

Weird huh? I've seen this several times on this forum and on the facebook page I follow. My theory is that they are doing the BGC all along, but for whatever reason the system doesn't update that until after DM for whatever reason. Let's face it, this whole process should be streamlined and made...

Yes, background check started after.

Thank you!! Waiting is so hard!!

We waited impatiently for just under five weeks after receiving the pre-arrival services email and DM on ECAS, but we finally heard (by calling the automated IRCC number) that our application is complete successfully! Now hopefully the CoPR comes quickly! Sooooooooo happy!!! Our timeline is in...

Thanks for the suggestion! What email address did you use? It’s never occurred to me that I could email anyone directly.

We are LVO as well, and got DM Nov 2nd.....and still nothing since then. I'm not sure what to expect for how long it will take to hear anything. We are visa excempt, so are hoping for CoPR very soon..

Oh wow!! I’m so happy for you!! Thanks for letting us know how COPR arrived as well, that’s very helpful.

There is a rotating postal strike in Canada for the past few months which has made the mail a few days later than usual, I would say. But I had assumed that, because we are dealing with London Visa Office, the COPR would mailed from there and not Canada...and because it’s going to a uk...

Does anyone know how to submit a status request following a GCMS notes request? I ordered mine 35 days ago and haven't received them yet. Also, a week after ordering them we received the pre-arrival services email and two days after that we got DM on ECAS. We don't have access to GC-Key because...

SO. Frustrating. We received pre-arrival services the same day as you, ECAS updated three days later, and we haven't heard a word since. It's also 34 days since we ordered our case file notes and not a word. On that note, does anyone know how the case file notes are sent out? Is it by email? If...

Congratulations!

Thanks for the suggestion....we will do that. We will be sure to do that! Thanks for the tip!

Ah yes, we have someone checking our mail over there and she can courier it to us! Thanks for your help!
