Default Time between paying RTPR Fee and getting PR

Hi guys

We paid this a week ago - does anyone know when we will get COPR?

As usual the email was completely confusing. We had to pay the fee and then email them the receipt - go figure that one...

So they said on the email that we do not need to submit passports to complete the application. So what do they do now? Send us a COPR (what is it - like a letter?) and then we take that to the border to activate?

It also talks about sending them documents but as they haven't requested any I presume that paying the fee is enough?

Even I am stunned at the IT systems...

Thanks guys.

Took 2 days between paying RTPR fee and internet site updating to "decision made". Been waiting over 2 weeks now for anything in the post !

3 weeks and counting now. I read over on canadianvisa forums that 4-6 weeks seems the norm at the moment.

Our application was under CEC, we had our medicals Oct 2012. RPRF requested with copies of passport pages on 1st February 2013. They were submitted and received on 7th February. We are still waiting and it will be two months on Monday.

When I paid my fee it took 6 weeks to receive the COPR, I think the time lne varies to accommodate the work load they have in the different offices.

The website changed from in progress to Decision made within 3 days.

If you hold a UK passport then they will request passport copies!


Good luck

Default Re: Time between paying RTPR Fee and getting PR

I paid my RPRF on 29th Feb and have heard nothing since, no update on ECAS or anything. I sent a copy by email to London and hard copy to Mississauga incase. Its been showing Medicals received since Nov on my update and thats all its ever shown, its a pathetic chain of information, anyway i hope my confirmation comes through soon cos my visitors visa expires on May 12 and i have a 2 month old baby and a wife i'll have to leave behind and go back to the UK till it gets done.
Have been debating on applying for an extension but i dont know if it will complicate things, anyone got advice for that?

COPR are legal letter sized documents, they will have yours, <edited to remove names at OP's request> information on. You take your passport and COPR to the border or immigration office and that's about it. You have one copy, they keep the other and then your card takes about 8 weeks to come through

Awesome news!!
