That means SA and AIP. You should expect to receive a DM letter anytime soon. And then, from maybe 1-8 weeks after your DM letter, you will be landing as a PR! So congratulations, you're getting close to the end!

Dont mean to be annoying, but can anybody help me out with regards my earlier enquiry quoted below;
"Hey guys, still checking to see if anybody here ever had part of their gcsm notes partially disclosed under section 15. Hope I am not a lone ranger in this regard. Very worrying."
Is it bad for my application?

@lexmark : If you requested the notes under the Privacy Act ( http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/p-21/ ) , Section 15 states:
"
Extension of time limits
15 The head of a government institution may extend the time limit set out in section 14 in respect of a request for
"
It isn't likely that this is why portions were redacted.
If you requested under the Access to Information Act ( http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/a-1/ ), Section 15 states:
"
International affairs and defence
This sounds like it. They have involved an international partner agency (Interpol, CIA, MI-5, and "friends") to try to see if anyone else knows who you are. This is totally normal. They redact which partner agency, as they do not want to leak the sources of their information. Totally normal. Nothing to worry about.
Do you have a s.21 on the same page? Eventually, when it's complete, they will redact the entire page and just put a s.21 in the top right corner.

@pedropil I believe is landing in Winterpeg. Makes me cold just thinking about it.
So I will be interested in seeing how long it takes to get an appointment there, as Emerson is as popular as the little town south of MTL for migration.
youre the best profiler. i will let you know when i've got the dm letter for the landing interview. i hope everyone of us here will all be finished this year.
Can you say that one more time? I got a tickle out of that
. lol!Keep in mind a couple things:
- It's a DM -- considering I don't recall anything from your case other than you were upset because of lack of updates. This will most definitely mean a positive result. You are just waiting for a landing interview now. Processing is DONE.
- Our case, the DM letter took like a whole week. Two hours after ECAS said DM, CIC-Kitchener sent us a landing appointment for 9 days later. DM didn't come until 2 days before my wife landed. So, you may not get it right away. It could be a DM letter, or a landing appointment. And literally any time now for either.
Most important: YOU'RE DONE! They've accepted your case for a PR. All that's left is literally formalities. Pay your RPRF if you have not paid the $490 yet. Then it's time for the happy dance!

You bet. You'l need your receipt to bring to your landing to prove you paid it to the officer. Time to go digging! You must be so relieved

I love Winterpeg! I was lucky enough to visit it in 2007. The air is so dry there that you feel much less the cold than in Quebec city. I truly enjoyed my time there, that's a wonderful city for the curling world!
one day. We got decision made on both side on march 20 (and emails for SA and AIP the same day), then on March 21 we got the DM letter.
