Final document request
I received an email titled 'Ready for Visa' and requesting a set of documents. I'm requested to send a copy of my passport, a copy of the email itself, and two photos of myself. For the first 2, it says "Note: Visa exempt applicants using MyCIC are not required to submit a physical copy – please upload this information to your MyCIC account." (I am a UK citizen, so visa exempt)
I can't seem to find anywhere on MyCIC to upload the email and passport copy. Should this be available to me somewhere? Or shall I just send it all in the mail to the address provided?
Also, I now assume PR is practically confirmed. Does anyone have experience in how long it takes the London, UK office to process the COPR after receiving the documents?
Thanks!

Re: Final document request
They're supposed to open a new field in your application to upload that - and often don't. Common to just mail it in with the photos. (I did this - leading to the interesting-looking situation where because it wasn't uploaded, my myCIC account still tells me application approved, but final paperwork needed for COPR, nearly 2 years after I landed & got the PR card! 
) Should be a few days to a couple of weeks from their receiving it to issuing the COPR, plus both way transit time depends on if you use Special Delivery/First Class/Second Class mail.

Nice, congrats! I'm assuming you didn't send in the self addressed envelope?

Re: Final document request
I followed the instructions in my Ready For Visa email. Since for me this included "In your package, include a self-addressed envelope that is A4 size or larger (21cm x 30cm or 8.5” x 12”)", I included a self-addressed envelope that was A4 size or larger.
