I have received my visa for permanent residence and confirmation of permanent residence form. Also I have received an instruction document which says "Please note that if you are already in Canada and have valid temporary resident status, you now have the option of obtaining your permanent resident status in Canada as opposed to leaving Canada and re-entering at a port of entry. Please contact CIC's call center at **** as soon as possible to arrange an appointment with the nearest CIC office to your place of residence". Does anyone know how long a CIC office usually takes to give an appointment?

Between 4 and 8 weeks, depends on how busy the office is.
