I'd like to know this too! If someone can please advise. Thanks.

I have a question regarding to the Request for Passport step.

I am not a U.S. Citizen nor a U.S. Permanent Resident, but I have been studying and working in the U.S. for a few years and therefore CIC assigned my case in Ottawa. I am now following the same step with other U.S. applicants in this thread as well as that May Outlander thread.

I still have a Canada Tourist Visa (TRV) which is valid until May 1, 2016. I guess my case would be finalized before that day. I am wondering if I still have a valid TRV on my passport, will CIC request my passport to stamp another one-time Immigrant Visa for "entrance as a landing immigrant"?

I see lots of people who come from visa-exempt countries like U.S. or E.U. countries get their COPRs directly without being asked to mail their passports to CIC for a one-time Immigrant Visa. That means they come in as a "tourist" but "transfer" to be a landing immigrant when they pass the Customs.

Does anyone have the same situation with me? Do I expect to mail the passport for another single-entry immigrant visa?

Anyone know how long 'final stage' takes to complete?
After sending in the passport copy and photos etc., how long before something comes back from Ottawa?
Does the PR card itself come back?
Thanks

Best guess is you're still very roughly a month away from DM.

There's a bunch of us who got the RPRF email around the 20th August, some have had DM in the last few weeks and some of us are still waiting.

The assumption is that they'll work through the August batch and then move onto the September batch, but really who knows :-[

It's hard to tell. Even similar timelines have been known to end up coming out very different.

Yeah, I had the doc request in August and I'm still waiting not so patiently.

Personally I'm holding my breath for the end of the month. Things on my file have seemed to update near the end of the week, so at least that's something to look forward to through this week

We just got Decision Made today! We didn't receive an email of any kind though. We were February 2015 applications and got the generic email mailout around August 26.

What normally happens after DM? Do they send an email or do we just wait for the COPR to come in the mail?

 

[gooh]

Congratulations. If you are from a visa-exempt country you just have to wait for COPR in the mail as far as I'm aware.

I received my GMSC notes today.

This highlights are as follows:
SPR Eligibility: Passed

Assessments:
Eligibility: Not Started
Security: Not Started
Criminality: Not Started
Medical: Passed

Group#: 2-JGT6E1M

Under "Undertaking Length" it says 36 months. Does anyone know what this means?

One note states "PA admits to living in USA without status as a visitor from ********* to *********, did not appear to work". My husband is a US Citizen, and he resided in Canada without status. Do you guys think I should try to get this corrected?

Also, I appear to have been IP blocked at work, not exactly sure why though. Any ideas/suggestions?

Our application went in process Aug. 21 and we are still waiting too...

There's someone in the UK thread (WeAllPlayForCanada) who is being processed through Ottawa that got DM today too.

A few more this week would be lovely
