The Permanent Residence part already shows in process?

I also need the principal applicant's current location (column N).
don't scare me, Andrew-Brit ;) yes, it's already showing In Process.. i called CIC to make sure the website wasn't glitching and the agent assured me the site was fine.. i'm prepared to hear that they jumped the gun and for them to change it again, but as it stands it is officially in process..!

my husband is currently in Dundee Scotland.

thanks for getting me added!

Our February application has changed to In Process this morning :)

I'm a little nervous about getting too carried away though as there seems to be an absolute ton of people on various threads suddenly reporting their ECAS showing In Process.

Hoping CIC have just stepped up a gear and it's not some cruel glitch in ECAS

Sarim, answers to your questions are all in the faq in mine and Andrew's signatures, please read that.

Sorry I have been mia lately - baby Schnooks arrived last week! :) Andrew is holding down the fort but that's why responses have been a bit slower than normal!

COPR arrived today!!!! 30 days after DM.

Now before I rush over the boarder there is one thing I having a panic attack on.

You must inform us of any change in your marital status .... Immediately and before you become a PR in Canada.
bolded in the letter.The lawyer didn't mention this to us before hand :( .
We've had our wedding ceremony in the US but haven't had the certificate issued. Would this make us married in
the eyes of immigration ?

Update: have been very late at reporting this but last three weeks have been crazy dealing with an emergency;

I'm a London applicant from September 2014 (SA on 30-October-2014);Application went into IN-PROCESS on July-13 based on E-cas; DM was around 23-July and COPR arrived in the mail on August-05; went for my landing with hubby at the Rainbow Bridge yesterday at 10 PM; had to wait for an hour otherwise officers on both US and Canadian side were very nice! Glad it's all over!

London has picked up some pace lately! Thanks a million to all the forum members for their amazing support/knowledge; specially schnooks, andrew-brit (urs is coming soon :)!!)

All the best to everyone else waiting! I will continue to be on this forum to answer any questions I can!

Just to share my experience with everyone; I applied in September 2014 and sent my application to Mississauga; I did my medicals back home in London in July 2014; since SA, I never heard absolutely anything from LVO; when my medical expiry came closer, I sent them a case specific inquiry to which they never replied even after the 28 days; on 13-July, it went into in-process on e-cas; after DM I dropped them a line again to know where things were at, and I still didn't hear anything from them; when COPR arrived, I saw that medicals had been extended by one year automatically. But I literally had zero correspondence since SA from LVO. For all those waiting, no news and logical progression of things on e-cas is good news based on my experience. Good luck to everyone!

Cheers'
