Dear ALL those who answered, guided, helped, supported and encouraged at every step of this AMAZING JOURNEY called "Express Entry" :)!

It all started with me from the onset of EE on 1st Jan of 2015 and it has all come to a sweet end today 28th July 2017. With 1 expired EE profile and 1 rejected SINP, today I have added the most awaited and wished for feather in my cap...COPR :).

Thank you seems such a small word for ALL of you because had it not been for this forum, I would never have made it this far on my own. A big big big THANK YOU to each & every one of you. God bless and Godspeed to you!

P.S. Please ignore my spamming today on all the threads.I have to reach out to every thread I have been associated with and say THANK YOU :D
Congrats :)
Is there any formality after COPR too?

Hello DiNaV,
Have you received any other document or just the pr visa in your passport?
Yes, there is COPR letter with my photograph on it and a copy of the same. Also, there is a general 4-5 page letter that explains about PR rules, etc.

Mine took 15 days from the date cic received, tracker still not activated so it will be a little while for you, say near around 25 july.For very few ppl its really quick for most its 10-15 days for others the wait time is longer.

Is that 15 working days or 15 calender days? Cic recieved my passport on the 13th july yet no update

Hello,

I submitted my passport on 7th July and CIC received on 10th July. There is no update in the Canada post's return envelope yet. Can someone share the timelines if submitted around the same period?

Thanks!

I also submitted passport on 07/07 and CIC received it on 07/10. No updates yet. The status still shows "Final Decision:
Your application is in progress."
Does your application show "Approved" or "Sent for printing" as the final decision?
