6m was always the standard for any border crossing/ visas. In mY countries passport cannot be extended earlier that 6m before expiry.

Hey everyone,
Just wanna share some information for inland landing. I received a COPR instead of direct interview for PR validation and was offered 2 options, cross-border landing or inland landing.
I searched online and found that CIC provided an email address for applicants to make appointments with the nearest CIC office to do landing. I didn't try that cuz I think if I could get the CIC agent to transfer my request, that might work better. I dialled the number and the agent kindly transferred my request to the office. On the 6th business day, I received a notification email from the office. The appointment will be made around 1 month later.
So for anyone who doesn't have a vehicle to cross the border and also you are not in a hurry or do not wanna bother your friend, this option may work better. It does take longer time than those who do the other way of validation, but more or less it is a good option : )

No need to worry about job reference letters, you already passed Eligibility.
Do you know your Visa Office and do you know when your security check started/when you went to ip2?
I am in so called IP2 since my AOR. Don’t know when security started.
So I suppose you don’t know your Visa office...?
You can raise a CSE and ask them specifically when your security was initiated and how long its gonna take. Also you can ask them your Visa Office if you dont know already. Once you get reply of CSE and if it turns out that you have been in security for more than 2 months then next step for you is to order CBSA and/or CSIS notes. Good Luck!
Btw i am also from Pakistan and my eligibility is also passed but under background check since 25th feb. My VO is London.
My visa office is ottawa. Can an IRCC agent tell me on phone that when security was started.?
