Morning all - we received a request from the Sydney office asking for a competed "CONSENT TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION (NZ) Form" but there is no indication on whether this can be emailed back or should be couriered? Anyone have any experience with this or thoughts on whether we should reply to the email AND send via courier?

Thanks!
This is such a grey area and searching the forum doesn't shed much light. There was another thread under Express Entry that stated that it could be submitted electronically (online submission?). However, perhaps give CIC a call and see what they recommend. Then you can get a definite answer.

I found this information for express entry topic by searching 'CONSENT TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION (NZ) Form' on the main forum page.

Good luck! Let us know how you go.

Hi folks! Just wanted to update you that I finally received my CoPR. It took exactly two weeks from DM to receiving CoPR--I was starting to get worried because I'm already in Canada, so the mail shouldn't take that long. I guess they didn't post it until a few days after DM.

Landing at the U.S. border crossing was surprisingly easy... I came prepared with lots of documentation, but they didn't ask for anything besides the CoPR and my U.S. passport. They just had me sign a few things, congratulated me, took my picture next to the Queen's portrait and the Canadian flag, and sent me on my way.

Glad to see lots of other February people are getting DM this week!
Sounds a lot nicer of experience than ours, I think it was her first time doing a landing so it took a bit longer. It was pretty boring, thankfully they had the Toronto/Miami game on. No congratulations or anything haha.

When i checked the status of my application online on April 27th it said Decision Made. It could have been a few days before that because I hadn't been regularly checking. I still haven't received anything in the mail or in my email. I'm getting very antsy. Anyone else in the same position?

Sorry what is VO? Visa office? Ottawa.
You should receive your COPR within a few days.

I asked about your VO because I'm curious if anyone besides NDVO and Ottawa are getting DM.

Hi everyone!
I have been following this forum for some time but have yet to post on it. My last update on ecas was that my file has been transfered since beginning April to Nairobi and PR being processed. Since end of April I have been unable to access my ecas account for any updates . Am I the only one experiencing this issue? I have called CIC and they said to just send a report with IT online but still nothing's fixed. Getting super antsy just waiting to hear some kind of update. :(

ImABule, do you know what other VO is sending DM?
I'm also curious because I haven't seen anyone from Latin America receiving it. :(

All I've seen from Jan-Mar is Ottawa and NDVO

Makes London VO look pretty bad :mad: but it's actually somewhere in the middle of fastest ones and the slowest ones.

Hopefully another couple of months for DM.

Singapore needs to get moving. While I'm happy for those getting DM, it's naturally frustrating to see pretty much every NDVO applicant with my timeline get DM when India is supposed to have longer processing time than my wife's country.

This is probably peanuts compared to all the DM's lately, but we finally got our third line in ecas May 9, 2016! Gotta celebrate the little things!

Yeah Dont know what happened to LVO.in the beginning of 2015 they were working fine and were processing within 6-7 months after elections i guess they slowed down alot.
