TIA!
Send a case specific inquiry to the visa office processing Stage 2. I have read that it can take about a month for ECAS to update with your new address.

Visitor's visa has been extended till Dec 31/15.We applied May 1st and was approved on May 26th...So a lot quicker than the quoted 62 days for people "visiting" in Canada already.

So. Today is our wedding anniversary, which we decided to ignore due to having sh** loads of packing to do, flying in 48h to Montreal, preparing to enter dual intent.
Then when we finally call it a day, I decide to check eCAS, you know, as you do.
Well, guess what?!?!?! DECISION MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, I guess COPR is on its way here (Northampton) so we'll have to have it redirected back to Canada. Oh well, nobody said it was gonna be easy, did they....

I'll be trying to enter Canada under dual intent on Friday via Vancouver airport. As per the wiki I have a folder of papers containing,

- Receipt showing all PR application fees paid
- Copy of the sponsor approval email
- ECAS screenshots of application
- Printed bank statement showing a healthy balance
- Return flight details

I feel prepared but quite nervous. I'll report back either way!

I feel the same way! We just decided to risk it and get tickets for September. I've been "in process" for four and a half months, so something's gotta give before then. If not - dual intent it is, as much as I'd rather avoid it. Either way - giving notice to our landlord and starting to sort through our things. I'm not looking forward to that...

Cbrown I'm in the UK now, working and plan to stay here until the end of August then head back to Canada, hopefully with PR but if not then dual intent and I will be 3 months closer to PR.

I'm not even 'in progress' still just stating 'application received'
We've just bought a house in Canada so no going back now!

Good luck with the sorting!
