hello!

i got notice of approval today with a letter in cgkey (yay!). question is, am i now to expect the actual copr hard copy in the mail? the letter i received in my gckey account is not the actual copr, correct? bc i sent photos w a copy (im from visa exempt country) of my passport into the embassy (im outland) and other requested documents w a courior fee for the return - so i still need that document back from them correct? sorry if it sounds crazy but the letter is somewhat confusing. TIA

You will receive 2 physical copies of the COPR.

hello! i have searched for an answer and it seems the results i have found have questions regarding the approval (or not). my questions are different. i know i am approved but i am confused about where my actual physical COPR is and when i can expect it. the following text updates are of little help because i can only figure out some of the abbreviations. i am hoping someone who has completed this process already may assist. i sent a copy of my passport, rather than actaul passport and to the visa services office in mexico city.

ok so these are the text updates i have received thus far after PPR:

january 21st

We will then send this to the Canadian Visa Application Center Mexico OCCC Office in Mexico OC ,for processing.

january 22nd
Visa application, tracking ID No.20200121MXME**** is under process at the IRCC Office.

today

i am confused, i sent my PPR documents to the visa processing center per my request letter, then after 3 weeks of going back and forth i finally got the first text message, followed very quickly with the next two, then another the next day. today i received this last one. so do i assumen correctly that my paperwork was received by the visa services office, then they sent it to the embassy then the embassy ent it back to the visa services center who will (hopefully) send it to me? it seems like a lot of back and forth for paperwork no? do i assume correctly you think? what do all those abbreviations mean?

thanks in advance!
