Hi, my friend had same situation his LVO was also Vancouver ,he was instructed his landing would be done in CBSA office whitehorse he only received landing instructions for himself ,later in interview he was told to contact cic call center ot by webform about landing instructions for his wife ,he contacted call centre and they made sure he got instructions how to send his wife’s passport to nearest visa office ..
So he my frined caled cic, first day rep told him that he is gonna forward the message to vancouver office about it. Phone got disconnected so he called again next day and other rep told him to land first. Rep said that dependants don’t get ppr until primary applicant lands. Anybody have idea about it??

Yes obviously primary applicant has to land first ! And during his landing appointment he MIGHT get instructions for his/her spouse

Landed this morning, process was pretty seamless.
Got there at 9.45AM for 10AM appointment, they called us up at around 10.05AM. Answered some questions around being convicted/deported/denied entry and then some about confirm the following (address, date of birth, name spelled correctly etc).

Was out by 10.20AM.

Timeline in signature
Thank you, very helpful. Mine is 10 am as well, I was just wondering whether should I arrive much early.

Hi
If anyone can help, this is an UrGENT situation.

My application was approved on January 2nd. Also, my overseas spouse got a PR visa stamped in the passport on January 7th. However, I have not gotten the CoPR, landing appointment or anything. Moreover, my spouse PR visa is expiring in two months.

I have tried to call CIC a few times and I was told that they will call me for a landing in " the near future" but it has been more than a month.
Tried to call again and opened two Web Form enquiries but I just get same answer, they tell me what I allready know, that the application is approved.

My question here is, what can I do to make them to give me the CoPR

A miracle did happen just when everyone was starting to think that it would actually take 3 months. Congrats, yours was the fastest ever in the history of this group! Hope this coming Monday brings some joy to the rest of us.

While we were all waiting and incessantly chattering about our Landing Invitations from our local office, an October Inland spousal sponsorship applicant from Nova Scotia received his CoPR by email yesterday. Here is the copy of the email:
"Your application for permanent residence in Canada has now been approved. This includes you and each family member on the application that is accompanying you to Canada.
Please note that your Permanent Residency must be finalized prior to the expiry date of your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR).
You must present yourself to one of our offices within 30 days from the date of this letter.
We are pleased to offer you a new option for confirming your permanent residence. You may now present yourself without an appointment to one of the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada offices listed below, within the time ranges indicated: Halifax (NS) or Fredericton (NB)"
I wish we can do it the same way here in Vancouver.
