Just click on the column you want to sort by, then from the menu select "Data", Sort by A-Z or Z-A, depending whether you want newest or oldest first. Easy.

Have you tried calling CIC? Unfortunately you might be in the group transferred from Buffalo to Ottawa :(
You could also order GCMS notes.

Well we are in the US so we can't call but I have emailed them and they told me that I was still within the time frame(this was before they had a Ottawa time on CIC) and that it was in Ottawa(I asked if it was going to Seattle like I had indicated in our original request for interview location). I know that ours never made it to Buffalo because we were in the crap February 120+ days for stage one and Buffalo was closed down before we even got through stage one. I am considering ordering the GCMS though just to see how much time they really spend on each application so I can see how much I paid per hour of hands on time :P

The CIC Call Centre 1-888-576-8502 number should be toll free I think so you should be able to use that number. It can be used 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday. Just make sure you have your application ID number and payment receipt numbers.
I expect the hourly wage is quite good.....lol
Good luck.
 
you can only use the call center from WITH-IN Canada... if you are outside of Canada there is no phone number, you can only fax and e-mail. It is also this way with the CRA and EI benfits when you call it just says the number you are calling is not accessible from the location you are calling from....

You can call from outside Canada. You just have to call 1 613 944 4000 and choose something about learning about your PR application. I can't remember all the details, but I called while I was in the US visiting my family. That's how I found out my boyfriend had been approved as my sponsor.
 
I used that number once myself from the US but when I posted it here people said it didn't work for them even tho it did for me, the only thing I could think of is maybe it was because I was close to the border... or maybe the people who were trying it didn't have long distance to pay for it? I dunno ::) and Calling really isn't going to do anything anyways all they will say is " if your application wasn't filed with-in Canada we have no access to it" and "once sponsorship apprval is done we no longer have access to your file." thats what I was told when I called about my passport. I told them I was concerned it had gotten lost and again it was sorry I don't have access I said well what am I to do if it doesn't show up and how long should I wait... please contact the VO with your file was dead end.... I even said to the guy when he said if your application wasn't filed in Canada... but I thought Ottawa was in Canada, he just laughed and said well the VO isn't... well whatever HAHA! Good Luck to anyone who tries getting anything out of them!

I saw that too, literally 20 times faster than mine! As slightly jealous as I feel, I am glad they're moving faster again.

FYI for everyone- my ecas switched to Decision Made exactly a week ago, still waiting for CoPR to come in the mail (sent from Ottawa heading to NY state).

Anyone from our Oct. 19 PPR group gotten their CoPRs?

Ha yes, I am very grateful it did. I just realized that I don't have my submission date on my signature: my Stage 1 actually took 120 days so my overall time is closer to average :)
