Yeah i was planning on late spring or summer of next year.

your RFV "changed" to COPR? How? Because you became inland?

My RFV email looks sketchy af. My CIC profile has shown no updates since my BIL. The only reason I assumed the RFV was legit was because it was the right email domain. We'll see in a few weeks.

I have been PR since March and my CIC account is still in progress. No updates or changes whatsoever after last MEP .

Congratulations and well done bro!!!! Hope this is means smooth sailing for your immigration plans.

And well-done to all of us too - for enduring many months of @mushymush's (probably deserved) bashings of IRCC .

Okay I am not finding any reliable info on this. Tagging some people who may have answers:
@dankboi @RSub @wonderbly @ElvisRamaj

I got an email with the subject like "Ready for Visa" and the cic.gc.ca domain. It's a poorly formatted email and doesn't look professional at all, which is making me doubt its legitimacy. I do not have any updates on my CIC profile, no PDFs or letters. I am (allegedly) supposed to send in my passport along with a copy of the "passport request letter", which in my case is a printout of the email, since I didn't receive anything on my CIC account.

Is this PPR? And is it okay to send a copy of the email as the proof of PPR they want?

Can you share the email address from which you received your RFV? In my case too, I never saw any update on my portal. I just got my RFV and sent my passports. From where will you send your passports?

Haha thanks, I'm still being cautious. Until I have the stamped passport in my hand, nothing is guaranteed.

You, when, you received your RFV mail.

You to IRCC: "I don't believe you."

Montreal? Nah, no Quebec. My plan is Ottawa, but I have a few months to decide. You said 'coming' though. Are you in Montreal?

Ever since I heard French chicks don't shave their armpits, I have been thinking about moving to French Canada.

^This was the email ID. The domain is correct, and there is some french sprinkled in. Sending passport in India.

Hey that'll stop when IRCC implements some more transparency in their processes. (So basically it'll never stop.)

Very useful knowledge. Thanks for sharing. I mean ofcourse this would influence your decision to immigrate.

No need for kink-shaming mate. I like what I like. There's something about a woman who doesn't shave.

And good luck!

I didnt know even nowadays with IELTS center strict protocols, still a large number of people can pay to buy IELTS! I used to think its just TOEFL home-edition one
Yesterday I heard from one of the collegues , few of her friends have got their PR through Express Entry by buying Ielts!
I know this has always been happening
But so unfair! Its ridiculous that they cannot make this exam a bit more standard

Do me a favour and look at its email headers, especially the sender ip address and a little birdy called DKIM.
DKIM is a way to know if email indeed came from IRCC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail). Its good that our friends at IRCC use DKIM. Look at DKIM pass.

Also check ipwhois of the sender. eg 205.194.127.101 belongs to an organization called shared service canada (https://www.canada.ca/en/shared-services.html). They are pretty legit govt of Canada org who provide IT services for govt of canada departments.

If you used gmail as your communication email, then this info is in "original message" option.

Whoa this is very useful. The DKIM does show PASS, like in the screenshot you shared. The IP is not the same, mine is 205.193.237.25. But I looked it up on ipwhois.io and it does show the organization as Canada Shared Services.

Thanks for this, it basically confirms that the mail is legit. Kinda hard to believe my application was processed in under 6 weeks.

That's one I got my RFV email from. So its legit. Just follow the instructions and send your passports. I am no sure about the procedure of sending passports from India, but you will definitely find lot of posts here. Congrats again.
