Yes. There is still an interview. It becomes progressively harder with age to pass....

:D

Just kidding. Man, I am going to be old one day, and that statement won't age well, I bet...

Yes, there is a landing. It could be by phone or in person at a local CIC office. To you, you might want to make sure that CIC has your updated address (you're not in Orangeville anymore). Local office is assigned by proximity by postal code.

Looks like it's probably Etobicoke (you get to drive in the big smoke -- I try to avoid it, if I can).

The last update here.
Got a letter about scheduling a phone interview on Jan 23rd
The interview was scheduled on Feb 14th
They just asked if I committed any crimes, confirmed the entrance dates and dependants . Asked the sponsor if he understands the conditions of sponsoring a spouse. Then they ask you to sign the form that they emailed me .
I had to mail the form along with 2 pictures to Etobicoke. They received it Feb 20 and that's when I got another update that I became a PR on Feb 20 in Etobicoke. Now my application changed from DM to complete. Hurray.
They said the PR card usually takes up to 2 months to arrive.

Can't believe it's over. It's surreal !
P.S. Aug applicant .
so in total it took me 18 months . But my own fault that I didn't update my phone numbers with them, otherwise I could have done it sooner. but on the other side I became a PR on my anniversary with my husband. A magical date!
And I had the phone interview on Valentine's day. Ha
