We received your application for permanent residence on October 22, 2012.
We started processing your application on June 4, 2013.
Medical results have been received.
A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.

[tr][td]

I have yet to receive my passport request. Long story short, I've emailed Ottawa about the status and this is what I received as a response


Dear Sir/Madam,

Your application is currently in queue to be finalized. Please note that we are unable to estimate the remaining processing time required for your application.

If you have included a prepaid Xpresspost return envelope, your passport will be returned using this envelope. If you did not provide a prepaid Xpresspost return envelope, your passport will be returned to you by regular mail.

Regards,

[tr][td]

I haven't even sent them the copy of my passport and on the letter they're saying my passport will be returned using an envelop I've returned. I'm really confused. ???

Is it because I'm from a visa exempt country? Please advise. Thanks!

Re: Still Waiting for Passport request

No Worries Timbo ... I'm with you. Same situation in my case too.

In your case, it was updated on June 22, but mine was updated on Jun 07. I am still waiting.
I have sent them mail asking if they sent any communication about the decision that has been made and very interestingly I received the same reply ( to be finalized, Xpresspost envelope blah blah).

Dont get confused with their e mail reply. They are using some standard templates(Pre composed) while replying our question. If you thoroughly see your e mail, you will realize that the email is very generic and you will not see any of your details in it. ( like addressing your name, or UCI ID etc).


Just wait for PPR mail. You will get soon.

Wait, you are October applicant? You should be glad that you got that Decision Made status. Many of Aug/Sep applicants are waiting for Medical Request let alone decision made status. Since you are from visaexmept country, i guess you will get your COPR directly - or perhaps they will ask for scanned copy of your passport / biodata before they send COPR. In either, you are pretty close to finish line. Hang on a bit.

Hey cecapp369,

Yours was updated June 7th and you're still waiting eh? I didn't really mind the wait before but this time it's really brutal especially because I know it's coming. I've requested my GCMS file about 3 weeks ago as well so I'll be interested to see what's on there.

Anyways, Good luck to you Cecapp369!!


@aa001: Good luck to you too! I can't believe yours updated in May and still waiting.

Thanks, InfoSeeker12

I did end up talking to couple of people that were in the same situation before and confirmed that if you are from a visa exempt country, you get your COPR directly assuming that you've included a photo copy of your passport within your original application. Now, this wasn't always true so I don't really know what I'm expecting at this point. Anyways, Thanks for the info and good luck on your case as well!
