There is no particular timeline. We received our Pre Arrival on 28th July, and nothing since then. I have seen people getting PPR within hours of receiving Pre Arrival, and at the same time people waiting for upto 3-4 months after Pre Arrival. IRCC functions in strange ways unfortunately. So very hard to pin point or observe any sort of consistency.

They are very behind in conducting interviews. Contact your mp as case taking a long time.

If the gcms notes gives reasons why interview recommended AND you think you have additional proof/evidence that might address those concerns or weaknesses (like lots of extra time spent together, just as an example), submit it by webform; in a few cases reported here, applicants provided addl info and IRCC officer evidently decided that obviated the need for the interview.

(Logically it seems also IRCC knows they ahve a huge backlog and may be looking for cases where (on second review) interview is not needed or can be done in some much lighter form like a brief phone call)

Appreciate your response, Thank you! We contacted local MP last week and no reason mentioned in GCMS but FC1 Green Category. We submitted additional documents through webform last month and still figuring out what more is left.

Were the additional docs requested? What exactly?
