Light rays said:Dear fiends;
This my story (experience) :
We received your application for permanent residence on February 18, 2011.
We started processing your application on March 22, 2011.
We received the requested information on August 25, 2011. Thank you for providing the information.
Medical results have been received.
A decision has been made and you will be contacted.(This was AIP)
We sent you a letter on July 19, 2012 to xxxxxxxxx about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. If we have sent the letter to the wrong address, please contact us.(this was DM)
Landed today 17 August 2012 at Montreal.
Landing Interview: Just lasted 10 mins.Verified my papers & then asked for the receipt since i already payed online, then congratulation.
First stage: was really long almost 11 months.At the end received AIP which entitled me for Health coverage, SIN & Open work permit.
Second Stage: After almost 5 months & e-cas status changed from In Process to Decision Made.
Personal Level: The wait was devastating, i would check e-cas & this forum like several times a day. Sometimes i would really go down.
All i have to say is that if your papers r in order, there is nothing to worry about. Its just a waiting game.
Have faith, and if u have any questions plz don't hesitate to ask me.
Good luck
