Thanks terulinkarezinka! Surprisngly (or probably not) the overriding emotion is certainly relief not elation.

Congrats! Well-deserved, especially for someone who has helped so many others. I'm still waiting to do my landing, three more weeks to go. It's been a long 2.5 months just staring at my CoPR. I can't wait until it's all over!

Thank you so much mate. I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping for the good news

I believe it's like that for most of the people - I felt the same - after years of struggle through work permits, CIC changes and the time pressure, at the end you feel like "finally"

But now it's done and we can all breath out and relax! Congrats again and happy landing! We just got our PR card today and it feels really great

Probably one among the very last to get to PPR in the April batch...As the saying goes better late than never. ;D Had to dig around a while to find this thread which I used to follow up until a while ago...Thanks everyone for all the help. For all other Aprilers still waiting (doubt if there would be that many) - Hang in there...you will get the good news soon. Details in my signature below.

Do you know why you wait 2months from decision made to passport request?

I thought you were good to go once you got your COPR. Do you need some other clearance to land?

 

[SnakePlissken]

Do you know why you wait 2months from decision made to passport request?

Yes. Just pure bad luck! As per my gcms notes (which i applied for only by end of September) they had sent my PPR on Sep 15, which I didn't receive probably due to some system error. After about 3 weeks of waiting and seeing people who got DM after me being issued PPR left right and center, I started to freak out. Despite me calling CIC multiple times, i was turned down on requests to check my application since I had not crossed the 6 month mark from AOR at that point. I applied for gcms and had to wait till it showed up (which so happened was exactly the day that signaled the end of 6 months from AOR) and called CIC again who then said they will reissue the PPR. All this delay took 2 months from DM!

I thought you were good to go once you got your COPR. Do you need some other clearance to land?

Nope, once you get the CoPR you can do your landing. I was waiting because when I got my PPR there was an 85 day wait for the pr card. I knew I was traveling outside of Canada within that 85 day time period. So, I decided to just wait until I returned to do the landing.
I'm from a visa exempt country, but didn't want to take the chance that there might be a problem when I returned without a pr card. If I was visiting some place like Seattle right by the boarder, then it wouldn't have been a big deal to find a private car to drive me accross the border if I had an issue. Just didn't want to take a chance.

Got PPR yesterday, today I sent a request to change a visa office for my present country of residency.
