It's very exciting to watch all the statuses come in - it really enforces that sense of hope! Thanks for the updates, gang!
Keep em coming!

The processing time is showing Jan 29...soon to start of Feb!

Just wait till you get your UCI. You'll need counselling for your addiction haha.

First it was the Canada Post tracking info, now the forums, and of course ongoing email 'just in case' they are really quick on AOR's. I should try to ignore it for 2 weeks though...but ya never know!

Very close! We live in the mountains of Mission! We've been here for 4 months now, before that we were in North Van which is where all my boyfriend's family is. Chilliwack is so open and free. Flat farms surrounded by huge mountains. That's where you always start to feel like you're on vacation when you leave the city hahaha.

Never been through Sumas, Pacific Arch tons though. It's a smaller crossing so maybe that just means a faster landing!

Oh cool yeah you are pretty close to there! I like it down there, we visit a lot. We actually live up in Whistler most of the time but it's nice to get down to sea level! Sumas crossing is a pretty small one, I guess they are all able to do the paperwork tho..

It's hard not to check but honestly you'll definitely get an email before anything including ECA's getting updated. The time they quote to get SA is pretty accurate (unlike the sydney processing times hahahaha) so give them a month. Once they let you know they've received it and it's complete just sit back and relax.

Not landing until August Paddy, I'll be interested to hear how it goes tho! The COPR doesn't give much info so I'm assuming you just show up with the paper?

Oh definitely hey. I'm so greatful that it was done so quickly with no hassles.
I thought we would've had months to go before hearing anything.

Happy days!!! All the stress is ove and no more daily checking in CIC or emails.

Oh thank you it is a huge relief.... we didn't have have communication throughout the process, an email from Sydney giving me details to check online & said sponsor approval was done.
The bit email was for appendix B form
COPR came about a week later.

Such a quick process for us, I really hope yours is too.
Try not to worry if to don't hear much from CIC, we didn't.

It seems like that! We're thinking it HAS to be some time this week. Each day around this time I get excited about what might be waiting for us when we get home from work. Only an hour and a half until we know if today is the day...

Exactly! I'm trying to keep my excitement tightly leashed, at least until you get yours... Then it's game on. Fingers crossed you have yours by Friday ;D
