Hi all,


I just saw that my ECAS status has been updated to "In-process" today.


Does any one know how much time it takes to get Passport Request after "In-process" Status?


Please advise

There is no specific time. You just have to wait for PPR. Some people wait months on In Process, I was In Process for not even a full day before receiving PPR e-mail. In Process status on e-Cas has little to do with date of PPR.

Well first off ecas is probably more inconsistant than Buffalo so take what it says with a grain of salt.I went to In Process back on September 7th and just got my passport request this month.But mine still says In Process and there has been peoples ecas that has never changed from In Process even after there done.There has been people that have never even gotten In Process and have already landed.

If your app is still In Buffalo they will email you and if it got sent out for processing than sometimes they send it snail mail.

This process is finally over... Received my COPR in the mail today. It's actually good for another 10 months. Didn't even take 2 weeks to come back (regular mail). CIC was nice enough to send all of our photos back. It's nice to actually live at the border. I can hop across whenever to land and get SIN, and apply for jobs, then actually move once something pans out.

Good luck to all those still waiting. It can be quite frustrating, but there is light through the abyss.

Cheers!

Does In process mean that they have all the documents and no more docs are required to be submitted?
I am asking this because i had sent my FBI and Indian pcc after i received my file no.

Hello all,

I just wanted to shared me and wife had our interview at Buffalo yesterday and thankfully I was approved, my passport was stamped after the interview along with my COPR.

Even though they asked both of us to be present at the interview, they only interviewed me.

We drove back to the border and I landed same day yesterday.

It took a little over than 1 year to have everything finished, out of that year, 8 months were just awaiting to be interviewed.

I will describe later how was the interview, landing was pretty simple as I was already with my wife so I didn't bring anything.

Best of luck to everyone.

B.
