Hi all! I thankfully received an invite to take the oath on April 6th, with the ceremony itself scheduled for April 14th. However, typically, I was away during this time so had to request for it to be rescheduled. Does anyone have experience of rescheduling their ceremony and any idea how long...

Thanks for the tip! That's amazing news. I don't have the old e-CAS system I believe, so does that mean I just wait for them to bother telling me? lol

My application status updated March 13th - all items "Complete" except Citizenship ceremony, which is "Not started". Hopefully the decision will be made soon!

Hi friends, new to this thread and here is my info! Two more nights of cramming then shall be doing the test on Saturday. :D Location: Vancouver, BC Application Type: Family (2) Physical Presence Days: 1,469 App Sent Date: Jan 9th, 2021 AOR date: March 24th, 2021 ECAS date: June 22nd, 2021...

I have officially 'landed' as a PR! :) I did this in person at the visa office. Here's a recap of my experience, if it helps anyone: Received email invite to do telephone landing, which I accepted. I could not do the telephone landing because on the day, the agent called an hour later than...

In my case it's my BOWP document

The letter I have for my in person appointment (received via pdf as email attachment) says I have to bring: - the two copies of COPR document - passport - 2 passport photos - valid temporary resident permits

Yes they said they would contact me within "three weeks" but it can vary depending on the visa office. So I suppose Vancouver is not too busy!

Congrats! I am in Vancouver too. My appointment was requested this morning and I got the email with a confirmed appointment time this afternoon. It is in 8 days so I think you will be seen before January too hopefully. :)

Well there's no reason why you can't do both I suppose. The lady I spoke to at CIC arranged my in-person appointment and said if I happen to have a telephone call rescheduled before it then I can just do that and cancel the in-person one. Whether you can rely on the telephone landing team to...

Yup haha, I made breakfast and got ready for work during all of my wait :D Have fun!

I called 888-242-2100 - listen carefully to the options and follow the instructions (you need application number handy), you will eventually reach an operator. I called at 8.45am PST and it was about a 35 minute wait. Their telephone system is actually quite good and they give you accurate...

I would call CIC to get an in person appointment arranged (proven experience of this) or respond again to the email and hope that they will schedule a phone call (don't think this is has been confirmed by anyone yet).

Yes I think you can rest easy now that more options other than the telephone landing are opening up. :) The lady who phoned me late also mentioned something about having lots of BC people to catch up to.

Amazing, Vancouver got back to me already. Scheduled appointment for 21 December at Vancouver visa office. Much prefer going into a physical appointment than waiting around for a phone call! It seems they've adjusted their earlier policy of telling people to send back COPRs which is great news...

I believe so because everyone needs to be present to confirm on the phone and sign the document while they are on the phone. There was a previous message somewhere in the earlier pages of this thread where even a child quickly said hi to the agent on the phone. I wish I just put on a deep voice...

Thank you! It's slowly beginning to sink in and the CIC agent even congratulated me which felt good! There's very little that can go wrong at this stage, but I cannot wait to get that PR card in my hands! :D

Okay here's my experience. 8.30-11.30am EST: scheduled phone call, doesn't not arrive 11.30am-12.15 EST: I called CIC to find out info. She said sorry it's a pilot and didn't know why nobody called. Her advice: Respond to the original email again and see if they reschedule something/call later...

Thank you! For anyone else with their phone call scheduled on the 13th today, heads up that nobody has called me. It was scheduled for 8.30-11.30am eastern time so I have been up since 5am in Vancouver. :( Currently on hold with the call centre to see if I can find out more. The saga...

COPR received! Thank goodness, I'd lost all hope. Email received Dec 1 Responded Dec 1 Postage marked Dec 7 Phone call is tomorrow Dec 13 at 8.30-11.30 est I am in Vancouver; it came from Montreal. My address is handwritten (terrible handwriting actually XD ). Seems to be regular mail...
