Pre-Arrival letter is sent out to those whose application is potentially passed, though the timing may be quite different. We got this letter before the request to do the second medical
which did not make much sense.... But it definitely means that they are working on your application and you should see the changes some time soon....Why were you asked to do a second medical, may I ask? Is it because it has been too long or there are somethings that they need to look at? Thanks.Pre-Arrival letter is sent out to those whose application is potentially passed, though the timing may be quite different. We got this letter before the request to do the second medical
Hi All
Landing process is much pain in the neck. I was turned down twice at the border (Niagara - Peace bridge) on working days. Second time I asked the officer and he told they do only allow landing process on Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday. That to 8AM to 8:10 AM. This applies to all the three borders in Niagara. My efforts to call the call center failed as the call disconnected automatically after 30 mins. I tried 4 times and no luck. Is there anyone successfully contacted call center and got it done here? If not I will try again next week crossing the border.

Yeah Ontario and Quebec are like countries in their own right! Here in Prairies you can just show up any time and land at POE’s. If you call IRCC, call 7:57 in the morning, having more chances of success, appointments can take weeks to months to get to, POE is still better in my opinion.
Have you tried cornwall? I landed in Cornwall, but that was 12 years ago. It is not as busy so you might have better luck.
After failing to reach out to customer care a few times(I got disconnected too), I was finally able to get through to someone on June 20th. I gave them the information they required and asked them to book an appointment at local CIC office. They said they sent a request on my behalf and I should expect an email from CIC in 2 weeks confirming the appointment.
After a week, I did receive an email from CIC yesterday and they have booked an appointment for July 10th. All in all, it seems it will take 3 weeks between my call to CIC callcenter and landing completion.
Hope that helps!

Received a message on my CIC account this morning requesting update to Schedule A for the principal applicant requiring all addresses lived for the past 10 years without missing out any dates... completed and uploaded the file on my account on CIC website now...
You should see it soon... it appears that pre arrival letter comes form another department at CIC and not the same office as where the files are being processed...I have same timeline, got request for PCC on june 7, submitted PCC on june 15, , nothng after that, no pre arrival letter,
