I got Decision Made!

I checked this morning and right before bed (an hour ago now) I checked again and there it was! Spent the last hour calling friends and family, my wife is away on a trip to Vancouver with friends and she burst into tears upon hearing the news, while her friends cheered and screamed in the background!!!

Best news ever! Now I'm hoping for the COPR to be mailed without the request for new photos and passport scan but we shall see!

Oh and spreadsheet updated!!!
Congratulations Adriew!! Happy for you:) Great christmas present from CIC heeh

Hello all,
First, I'd like to thank everyone on this thread for all the helpful information! This has been a very stressful process and it's been a real lifesaver having such wonderful support.

hello all you lovelies!

So my husband sent in his passport and he received his PR entry visa and his COPR today. :D

Unfortunately the address is my old address (despite me having updated in in ECAS AGES AGO). I looked on the forum and it appears that this is a piece of information that may be change when my husband immigrates with little issue. I just want to confirm that this is true because otherwise we are in a bit of a time crunch. My husband leaves the UK in 10 days to return to his home country to see family before he immigrates to Canada in January.

It appears that both ECAS and MyCIC are down. I've been checking both daily, since I have a co-op work permit application in process through MyCIC, and of course the spousal PR application through ECAS. MyCIC has been down for "scheduled maintenance" for over 24 hours now, with no indication of when it will be functional again. Come on now, CIC, get it together! :mad:

Have you received notes since they acknowledged change of address? The notes would mention it.

Also please let me know if or when your ECAS shows the line "a decision has been made, we will contact you...". Currently I do not have that line.

That can be corrected at landing.
