Congrats dear, How long it took from application approved to get email for landing interview. I am still waiting for interview at va
Status update:

Finally got my COPR today. Family of 4. Landing interview took about 45 mins. Vancouver Visa Office is actually a really small office. And also caters for refugee immigration issues as well. The officer was extremely nice and helpful. Kept answering my questions for me (lol!).

Logged into my IRCC account to see that my application was finally approved. Linked my PR card request to my account. Also got my SIN updated at the Service Canada Office close by.

Will still be in touch through this thread to offer assistance where need be .

It takes a lot of patience, follow up and perseverance but it will all work out at the end.

Good luck and Godspeed!

I didn’t actually get an application approved email. But the VO called me from Montreal to confirm if going to Vancouver IRCC office was convenient for my family - which I said yes and she said she was approving the application as we spoke.

I checked yesterday to see that eligibility was approved on that same day 20th of June and I also go a ghost update on that day as well.

So Ghost update was 20th June (phone call from VO). Landing email received on the 3rd of July. So 13 days after approval.
Please note that I kept raising GCMS notes as well.

Hope this helps.

Try raising a CSE and request for status. It might jolt them. I forgot to mention that I raised a CSE between the 20th of June and 3rd of July - never received a response to it though.

Vancouver office is quite small. And there was a little crowd, about 30 people with seating space for 15, so half of us were standing and waiting. Was lucky to have come in early, so my family and I got seats. And even though we all had 1pm appointments, it was on a first come first serve basis.

Did you call and checked the eligibility status? As I have called and my AOR is 2 months after yours and eligibility is recommended passed but nothing on online status. VO - Montreal, CEC Inland.
Recommended passed doesn't show up in online account. Infact nothing will change even when you get PPR / landing interview. It all changes only when COPR is issued.
