I think you get all correspondence via email except the final decision. The CoPR always comes by mail, so unfortunately we've got to wait! :)

DM- 26-11-2015 COPR- 01-12-2015
So my Ecas changed to DM last week, up until then I was checking it daily, I know the COPR comes by post but will it still get posted online that they sent the letter or anything? Basically I want to know if there is any point me checking online every 5 mins. ::)

I received my COPR last week and ECAS didn't get updated with anything after it changed to DM. Some peoples change but others don't. Be patient and you will find out in the post. :) Easier said than done though, I found the wait from DM to COPR really hard. Every time I saw the post man I got an adrenalin rush!

Status changed to DM on Thursday 26th and received Copr in post today!

It explains that we have options to make an appointment at a CIC office or leave and come back into the country. Anyone done the appointment at a CIC office? Or just faster and easier to do border?

Thanks so much to this forum and for those who make this forum happen. The forum is great and has answered questions better than any other resource! I am sure I will continue to log in 3 times daily along with Ecas.

Good luck to everyone, I hope London 2014 applications all come in before the end of the year!

Pretty sure there's a Canadian equivalent to the US ESTA coming in in March. Probably worth investigating in terms of extending visas etc - presume it will be required. May also be going mad and have made that up after a night on the ale!
