Congratulations .. Andrew and myself haven't seen the second line either yet . I'm thinking it is the lazy officer we have . Nothing we can do now but wait for our corp to arrive in the mail ...
Okay Taffy7, that reassures me a bit! I'll be keeping a close eye on when you and Andrew Brit receive your COPR in the post because I'm not too far behind you guys. Also, what about passport request? Have you two had that or do British citizens not get that? xxx

I don't see that line either. In fact we were in process until COPR was issued.

No Brits don't get asked to summit passport.

So I tried calling the Mississauga call centre to ask if my visa has been sent out. She was rude and condescending and would talk over me a lot, and she also said that Decision Made does not mean that your application is finalized?

Ugh.
Yes unfortunately most of them talk like this, you however may get an odd well behaved agent too. I however think that they may not have alot of info about London visa office affairs. My 2 cents

I was asked to submit passport copy and two photographs.

10 days later I received two copies of the COPR, one with a photo attached. When I did my landing one copy was kept and the other stapled into my passport.


My status on ecas never changed from DM, even after I'd landed. I checked 7-10 days later and there's nothing there anymore, it's all gone.

Okay guys, 12 months and 3 days after applying, we appear to have Decision Made on ECAS this morning!!! Can I just ask everyone, what will happen next? My partner is a British citizen so will they ask for his passport or anything or will we just receive COPR in the post?

Very excited!!! Thanks to all for your advice and support - this forum is a great help to clear the muddy waters of CIC issues!

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Spreadsheet updated McFluck......Many congratulations! Hope your COPR arrives quickly :D

I only got asked to submit a scanned copy of my passport, ECAS didn't ever have anything else added after DM until about a 3 weeks after 'Landing'

Thank you very much! Feeling more reassured now! Such a shame they don't just tell you via email rather than making you wait and worry!

Nope, it just says there's no record. I've got an interim driver's licence (get the proper one when i get my PR card) and a Social Insurance Number so I'm not worried :)

Yeah don't worry about the ecas guys , my family have their copr and my ecas still shows medical results received , there is no sent decision about application line. Don't rely on it mcfluck, I didn't even get an email either it just got posted out and received to our address on file. All went smooth
