Married: Dec 15th 2018 and informed CIC and they said nothing

File got moved to Montreal Feb 02nd with my spouse added and PPR cancelled
Address in April to fill Spouse questionnaire and some other forms
Address in July for my wife to go do her Bio-metrics
Landing Interview request on August 09th for August 22nd in Vancouver (the landing interview did not come from a Montreal or Vancouver Email. it came from a WST-landing-enquiries Email address
Ordered 2 GCMS notes and made lots of calls between January and now cos the silence was deafening after I got PPR the first time and they stopped talking to me or did not say anything.
Ps: My wife has tried applying to come to Canada on four different occasions in the past 3 years and she was denied temporary visas so i was on edge about it all

Congratulations!!

My file was being processed in Montreal VO until recently. I got to know yesterday that my file was transferred to the local immigration office in Calgary. Did this happen to anyone else? Does anyone have an idea about the processing times of Calgary VO?

I don't know about Calgary, but mine was moved to Winnipeg a couple months ago.
I don't think it's a fast office, but I think anywhere but Montreal is better. Good luck.

I agree anywhere is better than Montreal. Thank you for the wish. Good luck to you too

My AOR is Jan 25. MEP on March 7, biometrics completed on March 19. According to the response I got from the web form query, my eligibility is under process and the background verification hasn't started yet.

Montreal takes 7/8 months at a minimum. So brace yourself for a longer wait.

Is there anyone waiting for PPR after application being approved? My application approved 3 weeks ago but still no email. I m completing 1 year in 15 days. Can’t believe they said 6 months for express entry.
