I got Decision Made today :eek: Started processing on April 16...
I notice that you are also in Calgary, it took us 11 days from DM to receiving our COPR from London, so hopefully it will only be a few weeks or anticipation for you!! They wouldn't reject you without an interview. Where are you planning on landing at?

I would definitely recommend Coutts over Carway - they have way more experience and much better hours. The border guard at Carway tried to throw away my partner's COPR!!

Congrats again, it's been a long time coming for you. ;D

I'm still not sure that it is positive. Another common-law couple got refused last week after sending additional documents and without an interview. They have the same timeline as I do :-(

I didn't think they rejected applicants without an interview?...? That would definitely be worthy of an appeal.

Yes, unfortunately they do. They can if they asked you for additional documents first.

We will see. Still waiting for the letter. Why is Vienna so far away. The snailmail takes forever ???
But in case it's a denial my better half has to marry me. I'm done with that common-law stuff ;D
