Awesome!! I'm guessing ECAS never went to DM for you? What's your nearest big city, or what city are you in? Trying to fill that in for the 2014 spreadsheet. 
Glad you got it and that you didn't have to faff with the history since 18! I wonder if they are lightening up on that.

ECAS has been updated to Decision Made although actually I think it was updated the day we received COPR rather than the day it was sent out.

Hey guys, here's our timeline details so far for the spreadsheet. I posted them before, but they might have been buried

Oh my goodness! Permanent Resident Decision Made!
I just checked today. Not sure what date the said decision was actually made (but it was still in process Wednesday last week I think).

Such great news! I've updated yo on the spreadsheet. I've just put today's date, close enough. COPR hopefully should arrive in the next 2-3 weeks if not sooner; don't forget it requires a signature, so watch for the mail slip as well!

We heard back today from London and they said that if we send additional 2 passport photos, it will be sufficient. So we will get those in the mail today! And they said that our RPRF payment cleared so there is no need to send the receipt to them. I do appreciate their prompt responses to my emails. Maybe its because we are "In Process" now? Hopefully once we get the photos in, we will turn to "Decision Made" quickly.

Got a question about health insurance. I am going back to Canada for good with my 3 children on the 5th of August but have a return ticket just in case I am running into trouble registering them to school without a Canadian passport.
I know there is a 3 month waiting period to be covered with Quebec "free" healthcare. Can I just take a normal travel insurance that covers up to 3 months at a time and just switch to the one way trip insurance if I need a few days covered until I get my "carte soleil"?? Hope this all makes sense.
The one way trip insurance would cost me £345 for 4 months compared to £171 for a normal one.
