I added new sections at the bottom of the spreadsheet showing average timelines. The average for those who weren't requested additional documents is showing as just over 30 days for Stage 2 (45 days in total) longer than for those not requested documents/a medical extension...
Have you contacted CIC to see why you've been in process for so long?

Yeh they didn't give me answer as to why it took so long. But they gave me an 'unofficial' Decision Made saying that apparently my COPR is in the post and I should have it "within 2 weeks". That was 8 days ago now, I'm still hoping it will arrive within this quoted timeline...

I went in process on the 13th but ecas didn't update until the 18th so maybe Monday?

But I think some people got their updates on the weekend so I'm not really sure.

Hmm seems Monday is popular for it to be updated. My husband went into process on a Tuesday but I didn't notice what date it was updated and now it won't let me log in...

COPR arrived in Canada! (My home address was listed as my mum's address in the UK, but the mailing address on ECAS was where I live with my husband in Canada. I was terrified it would get sent to the UK address as my mum just moved out when I got decision made!)

The postage stamp says the 13th, so it took exactly 7 days to get to Canada! Received decision made on 11th March and it was received in NS on the 20th ;D.

The COPR itself says it was issued on the 6th March, and it expires on the 28th May which means they didn't bother extending my medicals (25/05/12). Have to hurry and head over to the US. :)

From App filed in Mississauga to COPR in my hands was 6 months almost to the day. I hope that is encouraging to anyone waiting. I hope everyone gets DM soon! Good luck all!

Congratulations! I'll warn you right now though, the disappointment of opening your mailbox when you get home from work to find no COPR is considerably worse than the disappointment of logging into ECAS and still not seeing the magical 'Decision Made'!
