I received CoPR on Monday from Ottawa office, it was honestly very quick (both the CoPR and entire process) neither of us were expecting it.
Congrats! May I ask what docs they requested in April? Thanks so much

Regarding landing,

I have a lot of jewelry my husband's family gifted me for our wedding, we can estimate the price, take pictures etc., but we have no receipts...because well, they were gifts. And some of them were purchased in Saudi Arabia or India, so obtaining a receipt somehow would be pretty unrealistic.

Will that be an issue? I have receipts for those purchased in Canada, but that's about it.

They requested a scan of my passport April 21st (wasn't one with initial application), made a decision April 25th and issued the CoPR that day as well (though I didn't find out until 28th on ECAS).

One case manager was working pretty efficiently I guess

Ottawa is working at top speeds! I received DM today. Application was received on March 21st, only 46 days to DM despite additional doc's requests. I feel over the moon... I will be praying this becomes the new norm for all future applicants! I just can't believe it.

Congratulations!! This is amazing processing time! I am an April applicant, but my anxiety is a bit calmer seeing great news like yours.

Planning for May 14
Hi guys,

My husband will be landing on Monday, and true to form he's left completing his paperwork to the last possible minute. We've already gone through and created all the lists of items that he'll be bringing across and their worth, and the last thing left was to download a B4 and complete the document. The problem is that it appears the link isn't working to access the B4. Does anyone have a blank copy that they can link here for us to download and use?

Thanks!

Oct 19, 2015 Applicant.

Received the Passport request today (25th May, 2016).

I have a question though. My Passport expires in 5 months but the email says, the passport should be valid for at-least 6 months. Should I renew it first?

For other members here, how much time did it take normally after we send the Passport to get it back with the VISA/COPR?

Hi everyone,

My husband landed on 20 March but still hasn't received the PR card in the mail. Does it take this long? It's over 2 months now. What's your experience around this?

Thanks.

I don't know about how long it's taking right now, but historically 3+ months is normal.
