Wow. Your application is moving very fast. congrats
I'm not sure it means anything though... because it doesn't say something like "we started processing your file on xxx date". Just says when it was received (original date in May at Mississauga) and that medical was received (so no change since May).

I think that if it says "In process" means that the VO started already to check your application, because if the status is just "Application received" means that haven't started yet to process it.

All the best for you!!!

Call CIC. Tell that your application was received in May 19th and that you would like to know its status.

I just found that my permit renewal has been approved. I guess I'll have to send the Paris VO a copy of that?

The one I have expires in the fall, which is why I renewed it (and it took way less than anticipated... one month versus an expected 4!).

hi guys
well finally today received my passport back with visa stamped and COPR from paris visa office .
other applicants with same situation as me (non visa exempt country) will benefit from my expereince .
so after i got documents request from paris visa office (criminal record from portugal , photocopy of renewed passport ) my ecas updated to in process before i submitted the requested documents 23/06/2015 .
after that i got email from paris visa office requesting to submit my physical passport , the thing is when paris visa office asked to send physical passport they requested to use prepaid envelope , as there is no such services here in portugal only for national , even courier companies where i live here in sao miguel (açores) don't have option for prepaid envelope .
the last option for me was to submit my passport through VAC paris and include a certified cheque (bank cheque ) to pay for transmission of passport from VAC paris to paris visa office , and fee for returning my passport with courier company to my residence address in açores .
finally today got my passport back from VAC paris they sent me by DHL it took 5 days to arrive in my residence address including weekend .
so this is for some applicants who is going to face this problem about how to submit passport using prepaid envelope to paris visa office . good luck for everyone

thanks sa3sa3 , you almost there just ask your wife to check her email inbox , because i think she will receive email from paris visa office first , then the next day your ecas will update to DM .
this what happened in my case got email from paris titled (visa prêt pour émission) around 15h00 , and next day got DM on my ecas .

Are you a Portuguese citizen? I thought Portugal is VISA exempt?
