Congratulations to all that have got good news and thank you to all the people behind the scenes, that we will never meet, that played such a huge roll in our lives. Your efforts are appreciated and thank you for welcoming us to your country.

Those that will be doing their landings soon could you please share your experiences and advice to make it go smoother for all of us?

Thanks in advance!

just wondering all the cpc Ottawa applicants are recieving copr so fast, my concern is did u had an option to choose between cpc mississauga and cpc Ottawa? is it an outland application that you guys have applied? people from states who applies actually have a longer period of wait.

these are all outland applications. all outland applications start at mississauga for sponsor eligibility. CIC then transfers the file to the visa office once the sponsor is approved, just like how your file is sent to your visa office. for US applicants the visa office is Ottawa, there is no "choice". Only files with issues/concerns get kicked back to the US for processing, which will cause a lengthy delay in processing. There are still some outland applicants with files in ottawa from 2013 still getting processed. No one knows why those files are getting processed slowly while newer applications get processed quickly. I'm sure it has to do with some internal guidelines we are not privy to.

I am curious. I had a trip to Canada planned for the beginning of September. Say, for example, I am required to land by December of 2014, if I go to visit in September, MUST I officially land or can I just go as a visitor and then return in December to officially land?
Cheeseburger. I think you'd have to land, but I am not sure. If you do land, you are required to live with your sponsor for 2 years (if you have the condition 51).. but I am not 100% sure. Sorry!

We all are in the same boat buddy. None of the 2014 applicants (with the exception of a few) have received their PPR's. Apparently NDVO is still working on Nov/Dec'13 files. So it might take another month or so before they get to 2014 files. Since you are a March applicant, I'll suggest you to follow the March'14 forum to have an better idea about the processing timeframe... Good luck!

What about somebody sending it to you by courier....
then the only thing that you need to do is to take a trip to the border
leave Canada and comeback right away... and do your landing....

Congratulations....

Holy Moley Guacamole.
My husband is visiting me now and his mother just sent us a message to tell us that there is an envelope for him from CIC waiting in the U.S.
I checked online and it says "decision made"
It can't be true, can it!? COPR!??

My worst fear is that it is a straight up rejection, but I feel that isn't possible either!

it's definitly not a rejection. it certainly is the COPR! CIC can't reject the application without asking for additional info and/or scheduling an interview. The applicant has the right to answer any concerns of the visa officer. You are on-par with Ottawa trends. March, April and MAy US applicants are currently receiving approvals! Congrats!

WOW. I am honestly in shock! :eek:
MIL just opened it for us and sure enough COPR.
I am not sure whether I should cry, jump up and down, pop champagne or all of the above at the same time!
I was NOT expecting it to be this easy! Sure our case is straightforward but I thought we wouldn't hear anything until at least October.
Life is beautiful sometimes :D
