soooo.. today I got a letter from the embassy in Berlin requesting my passport... already? Does anyone know if this is good news?
Do they just request it just so I can't get into Canada to stay there illegally? Or are they actually close to making a decision? Nervous again! ::)
Getting a passport request is usually a very good thing, so maybe you just got really really lucky?

good for you, it sounds like they want the passport so that they can glue the visa into it...relax, they wouldnt ask for the passsport otherwise.

Thank you!

they started to process it Okt 21st
returned for missing info Nov 4th
received it again Dec 18th
made a decision Jan 4th (about the sponsorship)
started procession my application in Berlin Jan 11th

Hi Swede,
Have you heard any new news from London yet?
Not really. It's been In Process since December 8th and that's the last update I got.

That's very fast processing by Berlin. Seems like you were in luck! :)
According to the CIC himepage, Berlin is supposed to take about twice the time of London.

Well, in any case your application is being processed and that's good news in itself. I'm sure you'll be fine regardless... :)

I got my PPR today! :)

No update on eCAS, but an e-mail asking for the PP.


Getting the PP back takes 2-3 weeks, right?

Congratulations, Swede! That's great news :)
Thanks! :)

Now I'm off to the FedEx store to send off my PP. Does anyone know if you need to perform some special voodoo to get the passport there and back again in one piece?
