Hope so! Maybe she is keeping the news for herself for now ;)

Any updates on your?

Josh since you are so knowledgeable, I got PPR but as a visa exempt country I just send a copy, I am confused over the copy, just my info and picture page or all pages?
Should I add a prepaid envelope?
Congrats!

I haven't got anything yet but that's because I don't have access to my hubby's email so I can't see if he got anything or not.

There is a possibility that they may not need copy of his passport or photos...we have theory the reason they ask for it is cuz the photos expire after 6 months so they may need "fresh" ones which we have ready just in case. All the time, we are hitting the 6 month mark now since he took the original photos so we'll see if they just send CoPR or if we need to send them anything! In any case we should be hearing something this week, God willing.

I was just reading about UK PPR and it goes to the Embassy in London so I was going to question it anyway :p



At least it's documented that they've had it, their processing seems so sporadic.
I agree It is about a week plus for me since sending the additional documents ...fingers crossed.

Congratulations. Can you explain what a ghost update is? :)
A ghost update is where GCKEY changes from 'Submitted' to 'Application/Profile Updated' then back to submitted.

It just means an agent's done something on your account. @chikki282 got it right before Pre-Arrival services were sent through.

Congrats!

I put a forward from any CIC address on to my partner's account, couldn't be bothered waiting for her to get up :p

My hubby always tells me his password to his email but I always forget it. I really wish they would just update the GCKEY and ECAS for something so important. They update it for everything else, why not for PPR too?

I don’t think I have any amendments.

I have to send it to Paris VO within 30 days. I will include a prepaid envelope it s better then
For my PPR in London, they actually requested to not include any stamps or courier envelopes. Just had to be a plain A4 size envelope or larger with your name/address on. The exact details should be in the PPR letter they sent you.

When did you send it off? Did you use special delivery?

I sent it on Saturday by first class and to be signed for.. only cost £2 something. It arrived on Monday :)
Fingers crossed it comes back quickly. I'll be using yours and @chikki282 turnaround times as an expectation for mine.. if they ever start processing it. :rolleyes:

Depends on the office and where the PA is from. American applicants from what I've seen on here get processed very quickly especially from the Mississauga office. It took about 4 months so far. We're just waiting in our CORP then we're free to land. We will probably land in the fall as we have a car to pay off here in the US and would prefer to take it with us or sell it to get a new one in Canada

Yeah I thought about that too. The country of where the PA is from would really matter in processing the application probably a lot to consider we dont know how they've done it however if all needed documents were provided I cant see any reason for them to delay. But then again they always stick with their 12month processing time which we cant argue.

Congrats to you though.
