You'll have to figure out how to pay the transmission fee (EUR 23.30).
DHL courier costs was ~87k. (41+46, to & fro, respectively)

COPR Timeline

As at the time I got PPR, info on this thread alluded to VFS Germany being one of the more responsive. Followed the directions provided on here and on the VFS site to compile the required documentation.

June 7th: Drop-off DHL HQ for VFS Germany
June 9th: Delivered to VFS Germany

No acknowledgement whatsoever from VFS about receipt so I started to worry about the status of things and sent a couple of emails. Got generic/template replies.

June 21st: Profile update email from IRCC (Counterfoil generated June 20th)
June 21st: Decision envelope received at VFS Germany
June 22nd: DHL pickup initiated
June 24th: Decision envelope collected by DHL
June 28th: COPR delivered

Took 3 weeks from drop-off to delivery.

Many thanks to all the regular contributors. Got most of the needed info by reading and searching through the various parts. (A couple 100 pages left to catch up on the Living in Canada thread :p)

GraciousWords:
Reaching out to them - try webform or CSE (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html). They may take some time to respond. The response may be generic and not address your query at all.

Call centre will not answer EE applicants' phone calls now, unless you are calling to advise about withdrawal of application or change in circumstance. They are attending to Afghanistan crisis. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/client-support-centre.html

Getting the ball rolling - .........na God hand we dey......

But there has been small movement on your file sha....... na only security and eligibility remain.

#ItGastaEndInPraise

Thank you, I'll try those options. I had heard they weren't responding at all to non urgent queries.

DFreeze:
Hi mate, can you work me through on how you ordered for this GCMS notes, please?
Thank you for your anticipated compliance.

I searched "order gcms notes" on NL and got many links...

Choose whichever option that works for you.

Hey guys, Feb 2021 AOR here. I ordered GCMS notes to check on things as 6 months have elapsed.
Thing is there hasn't been any movement on my file since biometrics was updated on 17/02.
My primary VO is CIO and secondary VO is Ottawa. What's the most effective way to reach out to them to get things rolling again?
Thanks
