Hi! I think I finally got my PPR...I'm American, so I just had to send a copy of my passport pages right? (let's hope so, because I sent that and the other stuff they asked for).
How long should I expect to wait between the PPR and receipt of COPR?

Also, when I use the online tool to check my status, it says decision made, but doesn't give me any hint of what the decision is. However, when I sign into GCKEY, it tells me they are still processing my background check. Is that normal? They sent me the PPR....don't they do that after they're done with the background check? Is my account messed up?
Dude, relax. CIC doesn't really update ECAS, GCkey in real time. You are done the whole process, and since they issued you PPR, that means your application has been approved. My status shows the same, and my ECAS was updated on Jan. 30, 2018 from "Application Received" to "In Process", and CIC even added a line stated that they started to process my application on Jan. 30, 2018. While I thought I may still need to wait at least couple of months, then on Feb. 01, 2018, my ECAS updated to "Decision Made" with no details about what decision I should be expected. And again, in the same day, I received a call from my lawyer to tell me that my case had been approved and he received PPR issued by Ottawa. So, I am 100% sure that your case had been approved. The next for you is COPR, it would probably take 2 weeks to a month, and landing.

PPR means PassPort Request

The pre arrival letter is a letter sent via your GCkey account. It informs you of the services that are offered to the new permanent resident of Canada
