Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to say we received the update and electronic form of the COPR today, much earlier than expected which was a pleasant early Christmas present. Thank you everyone in the forum, not sure we would of been able to put the application together so quickly and efficiently without your help and guidance, especially SchnookoLoly who answered my initial questions 6/7 months ago.
Thanks once again,
MrGateux

Spreadsheet updated.
Please let us know when you receive your paper COPR in the mail so we can close off your entry.....

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
I had 2 emails from CIC this morning...just logged into check and I have had my PR application approved 
one of the messages, is regarding Section 51 and the other is about the COPR.
I am currently in Canada so hopefully I will receive the letter in a week or two. I am currently in Canada visiting, my passport has been stamped for the normal 6 months maximum stay, the COPR should be posted to the Canadian address that I have specified, if not I will pop down to the Immigration centre and I assume they can print it there or potentially at a border crossing.

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
it comes next week and I can activate it.As I am in Canada and my mailing address is in Canada, I am assuming the COPR will be sent from London (as that is Visa Office that my application went to), using Canada Post once it enters Canada I assume. Has anyone who recently received COPR had to sign for it in Canada or has it just been dropped in the mailbox? ... I expect at least a 2 week wait due to the festive period.

Hey Hoyler,
It isn't courrier. It's just Canada Post signed for. I used my sponsor's sister's address. She wasn't in when it arrived so they left a slip at her place. I then picked that up and went to the local post office with ID to retrieve the CoPR.
So unfortunately you'll have to rely on your friends to sign for it or at least let you know it's being held at the post office.
Hope that helps. Good luck!

Could be part of it, but it would mainly be 'secret' checks, terrorist watch list etc. known criminals etc.

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
I have just checked the address information that CIC have put in the letter saying that I have been approved (not the COPR letter) and they seem to have the address wrongly formatted. They have missed out the Province and put the house number after the road, not being an expert on Canada Post, does anyone know if this will cause any delays?
On the Section 51 letter that I have downloaded they have the mailing address in the correct format. So I have no idea which address format they are going to use.
Also, ECAS hasn't updated to show the correct mailing address so I don't know if the letter will actually go to the UK or Canada. My assumption is the Canadian one.

If you haven't received COPR in about two weeks, keeping in mind the holidays etc messing things up, then just drop a case-specific email saying you aren't certain about the address since ECAS has the wrong one but you just wanted to check.
