DONE! Got my PR approved, and am, strangely, feeling really a little different now. Great feeling, though. I am home! Thanks to everyone who helped me here along the way, I can't believe how quickly everything just happened... I am happy to give you a little run through my interview, and my...

You won't get your PR card right away - it will take 40-ish days to process. They will void your other permits, and you're advised not to leave the country until your PR card arrives in the mail. Make sure you bring appropriate photos!

Interestingly, in all my online profiles it still says "in progress" and nothing about "decision made"...

We have to go to Vancouver, and the date was less than a week after receiving the email. You can definitely change the date, by filling out the letter they sent with the invitation and emailing it to them - but it is up to them to decide when, unfortunately. My work schedule is crazy for the...

@browning & sipfarms: Thanks again! Fingers crossed for you!! Appropriately, I just received my GCMS notes which are somewhat interesting now that I don't have to read them with this notion of panic accompanying me. I can sit down after my interview on Thursday and write down a bit more detail...

Thanks everyone!!!! I am sending all my positive thoughts to everybody who is still waiting - everything will work out soon! it is only a matter of time- I think they really want to clean up the system and help everyone who is still waiting, and I guess I can be sure now that my app was pretty...

Guys, I am just in Vancouver for the weekend, checking my work emails in the rain on the street in an open wifi network (how pathetic this starts, but it gets better) and burst into tears because of course I didn't expect at all to get my invitation for my LANDING INTERVIEW while I'm on...

Haha, I'm usually in my little Zen-zone and can ignore the urge to check CIC. I had just talked to my boss that I might have to take a day off some time in the hopefully near future, to travel to Vancouver and potentially have an interview. So imagine my excitement when I receive an email just a...

Teeth-grinding update: You know, these emails that CIC sends you, every time they click on your file in MyCIC? Every time you get an email stating that there has been an update to your application ... nothing. All that good behavior and patience down the drain once you expect that you might...

Update, Update: While I am trying to be adamant about not checking any processing status sites anymore, I did, however, just receive a MyCiC update. Apparently they are starting to work on my Police Record Checks. I have lived in a lot of different countries and had to send in quite a few, and...

My status still reads "Application received" (also AIP in July)- I am sleeping a lot better since I just decided to not wonder about them not updating in and just wait it out. I have too many other things to do instead of going crazy over the PR process. I think they are just not very adamant...

Hi friends! Quick question for fellow AIPlers who might have connected their application in MyCiC: Does your MyCIC also show that your eligibility is still being reviewed, despite having received AIP? Not sure if they update it as slowly as the old CIC application status page...

WOW! Amazing, congrats!!

I have lived in Canada as a temporary worker and as a student. If I'm correct you still have to apply, include personal information, security checks, etc. at times months before you enter Canada? I believe my student visa application alone started almost a year before I actually arrived in...

Oh wow... Sending my thoughts to everybody in Turkey! There aren't many news updates at the moment, some part of the military is trying to take Erdogan down. Not sure which faction it is and where this will go. I hope everything stays peaceful, there has been too much violence this...

Okay, thanks for writing this! I ended up searching "technical issue" and a few 2015/16 postings came up which made me feel a bit silly. But I guess I'm not the only one!

Hi there, My apologies, I tried to find an appropriate sub forum to post this, but could not find anything. And I remember Ponga posting on the issue of lost postings due to the frequent server downtimes, so I decided to post it in my home-forum. Anyways: I am very, very grateful for this...

Fingers crossed!!

Our app arrived Feb 19th, AOR never came in (for my husband) but ECAS says April 12th, SA was July 6th (so 2-ish months after), my AOR came in June 10th and AIP now July 13th, so about 1 month. Did you send all your papers in ahead of time?

Hi zumbagirl - yeah they asked me to fix two forms I had made mistakes in. I send it to them online via a Case Enquiry and heard back about them having received it last week. So far no originals have been requested...
