Hi - I haven't been checking our ECAS, but given your comment I just had a look... we're in the same situation. ECAS says 'Decision made' under Permanent Residence Application Status, but MyCIC still has the background check marked 'In progress'. I would guess they updated the ECAS on Friday - 14 Jan. Looks like we've been in lockstep the whole way!
So lets assume that is DM. Congratulations! Spreadsheet updated. Please let us know when your CoPR arrives.

Based on this post, I've just checked my ECAS status, and it also says 'Decision Made'! It's been about a week since I last checked it, but I've been checking MyCIC daily, and there the 'Final Decision' is still 'Not Started'. Fingers crossed!

Looks like a pattern! Lets assume DM - fingers crossed for you. Please let us know if anything changes and when CoPR arrives.

Spreadsheet updated.

Congrats to all those who got DM.

So far, there have been 3 DM's for spousal sponsorships to date made in January through LVO according to the tracking spreadsheet.

They may have posted here, or possible they posted on British Expats, which also feeds into this spreadsheet. :) There are currently 10 DMs made in January, 5 through London and 5 through Ottawa.

Another update - just received an email from CIC asking for two new photos and a scan of my passport in advance of the issuing of the CoPR! I guess this is us 'Decision made'...!

Thanks for being so on the ball with all this stuff Hurlabrick - having access to the information on the spreadsheet really is a comfort.

Best of luck to all those still waiting!

Hi, today I received an email asking for passport scan to be uploaded and photos to be mailed. Hopefully not much longer to wait!

.... and now when I look to see how to upload to myCIC, I can't see how to do it. When I click "view submitted application" in myCIC I can't see an option to upload anything. Any suggestions from anyone?

Yes, passport request is considered by us to be the same as decision made. CoPR should not be more than a couple of weeks after. Congratulations - spreadsheet updated.
