Hello..

Hello! How many days before u got ur PPR after receiving the pre arrival letter?
Well my case is different. I got pre arrival letter the day after the interview only with the request to redo medical. So the amount of days means really nothing. Ppr arrives base on when the redo of medicals were done and immigration finished its review.
Interview was Oct 26
Medical request for redo Oct 27 the pre arrival letter was sent that day too.
We only did medical nov 16
Got ppr nov 28...

Received mine a month before that. It means absolutely nothing.
What do you mean? Did you try to go to the Pre-arrival service? How's your application?

The pre-arrival service is useful if you have no contact or job prospects in Canada. My wife's job is waiting for her to get here. If Canada would stop making us wait. You can avail of the pre-arrival service any time, with or without the letter, as she did many months ago. So the letter means nothing. It doesn't mean your visa is coming any time soon either, unfortunately, as we got our letter Oct 25. Nothing since.

Are all applicants getting this or just from certain VOs? Our application is being processed in Mississauga for an outland USA spousal application. We just got PPR on Nov 20 but have not received this pre-arrival invitation.
Almost the same timeline but no PPR yet.

I received mine for my husband in June. Still no dm or any further contacts
Hi @Hvank

Any updates on the PPR for you?

... and just to understand clearly, you got your pre-arrival letter in June 2017 and now it is Jan 2018 - and you haven't heard anything yet?

That's a really long time...

How many days or months does everyone wait from the date the email was received from CIC Manila to a decision made and passport request for all of you?

I searched and found another link where users got their DM in about a month or less after pre-arrival. In my case the VO is Manila and they tend to send the prearrival in advance before DM. Others still waiting. Not sure perhaps something isn't jiving in their background check?
