Hi everyone, can someone please advise how long does it take to get the AIP after SA, we received SA on Nov 7. On ECAS it says DM on both sides.

Hey!
i saw that you rescheduled your interview and i was wondering how was the process?
I just got my landing appointment and unfortunately I am not able to attend.
How long did they take to respond to your request?

Thank you so much! :)
Hi, my interview was scheduled at Kitchener office and the process took about 3 to 4 weeks for me. I think different offices may vary a little.
I followed the instruction here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=786&top=5
You can either call the IRCC call centre, really difficult to get hold of an agent though. Or you could contact the office directly if you have their number or email. You could also submit a webform which will take 10 days to get a response.
In my case, I don't have the office's contact information so I mailed them a letter to explain my situation and request a new date. The letter arrived on October 11th. In the meantime, I submitted a webform. I got the reply of the webform 9 days later (on October 18th) saying they have forwarded my request to the office. On Nov. 9th, I got the new appointment date (Nov. 23rd) by email. So, I don't know if it is my letter or the webform that helped with the rescheduling but it roughly took me 3 to 4 weeks to get a new date. It was a very anxious period of waiting but I hope you can reschedule yours successfully!

Hi, is there anyone who has DM on both sides on ECAS, but no DM letter and no Landing Letter for about a month now?
Thank You
I have been waiting since September 26th. I called but I got nothing useful from the agent "bear with us" he said. Did you send a webform? Did you pass the 12 month?

Hi, no I have not sent a webform yet, but will do now, as we passed our 1 year mark.
Can you tell me, where are you located and was your file processed by Vancouver Office by any chance? It looks to me that ones DM is done, they send file to local office and that is when the chaos starts, based on local office. Anyway, this is my guess.

Sudbury-Ontario. And yes I received the police check and the medical letters from Mississauga and a few months later I received AIP from Vancouver. About the chaos I don't know some December applicants have received their landing letters actually have already attended their landing interview. It is getting me super angry especially after calling a few weeks ago and being told that my application was approved

We are from Ottawa. Mailed package to Missisauga, Police Check and Medical requested from Missisauga, additional documents requested from Vancouver, SA and AIP from Vancouver, DM on ECAS for about a month, nothing else since. I called today, but could not wait that long to speak to someone, will be sending web form now and try to call again tomorrow.

Hi

I am an Immigrant and planning to apply for my wife and daughter soon. My wife has given IELTS and her score is 6.0.
Would this be an advantage for her case??
