Hey guys, same as others (
@jman25 @snowflake16 etc) on this forum, I received a telephone landing interview invite on Dec 11th even though my PR application is still in process.
I replied YES to the email and didn't get any reply or updates from them until Dec 11th when an agent called me to do the interview!!! I told her that I do not have the COPR yet. She acknowledged that a lot of people do not have their COPR's yet (CanadaPost usually experiences big delays over the holidays) and when I receive it, just send it back to them and I'll have to the landing process as normal.
Of course, 15 minutes after the call, the mailman arrives with my COPR!
I called the Case Officer back and left a voice mail to hopefully reschedule the phone interview but I haven't heard from her yet so I guess I am gonna send the COPR back as she had initially instructed. I think I'll wait another day or 2 to send the COPR back though in case the Case Officer does re-schedule a phone interview.
On the positive side though, I guess I could consider myself PR now?? My CIC account still says "...background check in progress.." though....
