Just created a timeline spreadsheet to have some visual understanding about our processing/wait times with our Vancouver office:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aCsw9m9cYm_JGuPoclQLBwlKUsh8g3ogoWG6tLuBEdQ/edit#gid=0

It is sorted by Landing Interview Invitation date in chronological order. So please feel free to add and edit yours but try not to mess it up as the format is not fully protected.

The stats in the bottom of the sheet shows the average wait times from DM to Invitation at 50-53 days, and from Invitation to Interview is 28 days.

PS: I had to exclude @Vivian-inland from the Landing Interview section as her's was way too fast for Vancouver and was bringing down the average wait times.
Wow! Thank you so much. Amazing work! Let's all keep updating it.

The last person who had an invitation was @wallbr with DM on eCAS on Feb 22 and DM letter on Mar 1. @Sarab26, @WilsonC, @kylfjones, and @andybc should be next in line based on their DM dates, followed by @BR_ESL, @sss12345, myself, @LinkinMark and @negarmh.

Nice work!

I believe Vivian Inland was a Toronto based interview.

Ahhh... that's why! Then WTH was she doing in the Vancouver thread... being helpful or something? or to tell us our office is slow... LOL

I deleted her info but the one thing we should keep in mind from her timeline is that she received her PR card in the mail 23 days after her interview. I've seen also a number of applicants whose only took 20 to 24 days although the CIC website suggests 41 days. So things are looking good ;)

Any new landing appointments?
According to our newly added "Date of the Week" feature on our timeline, 7 people had their invitations on Monday and another 7 on Thursday, 3 people on Wednesday, 1 person on Friday. So based on the numbers, we are most likely to get a lot tomorrow or on this coming Monday*.

Oh yeah... poor Tuesdays are not good at all for now LOL

*PS: You may notice a pattern here that Mondays and Thursdays are alternating so it means that Monday could be the next alternating date if the pattern doesn't change much ;)

Don't forget that tomorrow is Good Friday and Monday is Easter, so they'll probably be closed.
