Now I just have to hope it's my CoPR in the mail and not a rejection letter... 46 days seems so quick I am truly afraid it could be bad!
Congrats!! I'm sure it will be fine. You have a very solid case from what you have shared. Our minds go around and around in circles with worry, I'm sure everyone here will agree!

Hello March 10 applicant here.

I haven't received SA email or AOR2 yet but I called in couple of days ago and I was told that eligibility was approved (did the agent mistakenly say eligibility instead of sponsorship or she truely meant eligibility). I was also told that file was transferred or being transferred to India.

Ecas status has changed to in process for PR side but only 2 lines. First about date application received and second about medical results received.

Not sure what to make of all this.
Hey deepax, It sounds to me like you have nothing to worry about, you have received SA (and AOR2?). Your "eligibility to sponsor" has been approved which is the same wording used on the SA that comes in the mail. They would not have sent your application to India unless you were approved as a sponsor. You will probably receive official SA via snail-mail. And most of us never receive AOR2, but I believe the fact that your ECAS PR side says that the application received by New Delhi means thats your AOR2. You may or may not get an email about AOR or documents request. But it sounds like things are moving, so try not to worry too much!

Hi March family!

I logged into Ecas today (as I obsessively do every day), and the PA side changed from "Application Received" to "In Process", but still no third line. What does this mean? Is this AOR2 even though there is no 3rd line? Still haven't received SA either?!?!

Thanks for any help :)

Please don't ask the same question in multiple threads back-to-back :(

You're welcome ;D I hope you get your COPR in the mail quickly. I'm waiting for SA and my application should be going to Ottawa after, so I reaaally can't wait to get SA.

What's even more amazing is that you're the fourth March applicant through Ottawa who has had DM.

Great news!!! I received my CoPR today, I added my dates to the spreadsheet and saw a few similar timelines. Things are speeding up for sure this year. Here is my timeline.

March 15 application received
March 12 AOR1
April 22 SA
April 26 started processing
April 29 Decision made, approval
May 5 COPR received by mail

Be encouraged!!!!
Incredible! Are you in the US?
My application started processing on May 2nd, and today it was already showing as DM. I wonder how long it will take to get COPR in Brazil, and if it's sent by courrier or regular mail.

Congratulations,
I applied outland US although I am in Canada. The CoPR arrived regular mail. It was probably mailed out as soon as the decision was made.

After seeing Decision Made, my CIC Status now has a new line:

We sent you correspondence on May 5, 2016. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

Is this standard notification? I'm not sure what other information would be required, as we sent a complete package with photocopies of passports, 8 photos, medical, fees, etc.

Also, will this correspondence be sent to the Sponsor in Canada or the principal applicant in Brazil? It was processed by Ottawa VO.
