We were asked by Ottawa to send everything to CPP Ottawa. When we receive our COPR's.. and we go and do the flagpoling, I am assuming that you cannot work until you have your PR Cards in your hand?
We are both on Visitors VISA's as every other option had run out, hence our particular situation.

Re: Case Processing Pilot Ottawa Timelines- please add your experiences
Here's my timeline for Quebec Skilled Worked. Never thought it would take this long, wish I'd stayed in Toronto and applied under Canadian Experience Class now.:
Arrived in Canada on temporary work permit: September 2009
CSQ Application Submitted: October 2010
CSQ Interview and CSQ Granted: 12th February 2012 (Couldn't believe how long this part took, I was expecting 6 months)
Federal Application Received: 22nd February 2012
AOR From Ottawa + Request for Medicals: May 14th 2012
Medicals Done: May 22nd 2012
Email from Ottawa said I'd receive some news by the end of May 2013, not sure what that news will be though.

The COPR's you take to the border will be stamped and processed. You keep these in your passports till you get your cards (then put them somewhere safe as you'll need them for citizenship later on).
After landing, take your passport with the stamped COPR to your nearest Service Canada office and get a SIN number - you are given this straight away. Only then can you work.

Hey everyone, it's been a couple of days and no new posts.
If any one has any news/updates regarding their applications....please post. It seems on other forums QSW applications are being done now. Many people are receiving PPR. Any one with updates regarding FSW?

May 12 filed application, Mississauga.
Oct 12 CSQ family class and file sent to CPP Ottawa
feb 13 request for finance proofs & another copy of passport
Feb 13 email received
"Please be advised that no further documents are required at this time as the scanned documents are sufficient. Your application should be finalized shortly.
Thank you for your interest in Canada."
Does anyone know how long this means til CoPR issued... I think this email means we are ok?
My spouse has a US passport so no counterfoilneeded.

Which is very, very unfair. E-mail them, ask them why there was no

Hi
It may have been that the medical is not the only thing outstanding prior to issuing the COPR, so the medical wasn't extended?
Seems you've just missed out on this:

You can work, not a problem.
The COPR's you take to the border will be stamped and processed. You keep these in your passports till you get your cards (then put them somewhere safe as you'll need them for citizenship later on).
After landing, take your passport with the stamped COPR to your nearest Service Canada office and get a SIN number - you are given this straight away. Only then can you work.

The copies of passport pages etc were sent to CPP Ottawa on 8th Feb, and we are still waiting... very frustrating to be so close and yes we go on waiting.

Has anyone else experienced such a long wait at this stage in the process? I think this limbo state is driving me a little crazy.
