Next Steps after RPR Payment

[immigrantbee]

Hi All,

I just paid my fees last week and wondering if someone could tell me what are the next steps. I read that people hand in their passports, but wonder if that is just for people outside Canada.

I have done medicals upfront and provided police checks for 2 countries I lived before coming to Canada.

Thanks!!

The next step depends on whether you're from a visa exempt country or not. If you are, your eCAS status will change to Decision Made and you'll receive COPR in the mail. If not, your eCAS will change to Decision Made and you'll get an email asking for you to submit your passport for stamping. Your passport will then be mailed back to you with your COPR.

I might have the order mixed up for the visa required country, but someone will be able to correct me if I got it wrong.

Thanks. I am from Spain, so I think I visa except (unless I am wrong). What about police checks? I have not submitted my police check for Canada because i was told they can check with me having to go get the document. Also does anyone know if they ask for new police checks if the ones you submitted expired. I submitted mine in 2015, so they're a year old by now.

Correct, Spain is visa exempt (but now requires an eTA to travel to Canada, just like all of the old "visa exempt" countries). I did not submit a police check for Canada either and have not been asked for one. The generally accepted rule (it might be an actual rule, someone who knows a little more will be able to back me up) around here regarding expired police checks is that if you haven't visited that country since the issue date on the PCC, it should not expire.

Thank you so much! I know about the eTA visa, but thankfully they won't ask for my passport. As per the PCC, yeah I just check with an immigration lawyer and he said I should be okay. I haven't left Canada since I applied for my PR, so we should be okay.

Did you pay RPRF upfront or was it requested?

I personally got the RPRF request on March 16 and Decision Made on March 26, so yours is probably not far away.

Reecision made - but I can't see the decision online

Hi All,

I just checked my application status online and it says decision made, but when I click on the link, I only see a timeline of when my application was received and the documents I sent. So I am like, what is the decision? I paid fees a few weeks ago, so I am excepting it to be a yes, but you guys have a way to know? I am trying to phone immigration but I keep getting an automated message that the system is overloaded and they can't transfer me to an agent.
