Very happy!!! ;D :D :D

I just got an email stating that my app has been completed, and "The Canada Immigration Centre in Montreal will contact you concerning your permanent resident status."

My timeline goes as follow:

App received July 29, 2011
AIP June 18, 2012
DM May 1, 2013
Landing Interview ?!?!?!

My ecas has not changed to DM yet, but the letter I received by email is dated 2013-05-01.

I did have to send some additional docs between June 18, 2012 and May 1, 2013. The last doc I sent was my Canadian fingerprints, which they received on April 16, so they took only 2 weeks to make the decision.

Does anybody knows the Montreal waiting period for the appointment?


Congrats!

We have received the DM 1 week before you on April 24.

As for the Montreal interview timeline, I have found some info at 2012 Quebec ınland Applicants. Unfortunately, some of them are waiting since March 17 2013 for the interview (even with the Right of Permanent residency already paid).

Seems like there is a new processin Mtl which is:
1) A letter to verify contact info+information questionnaite+2 passport photos
2) The appointment letter.

Since March 17, all people waitin for an appointment did not received letter #2 (appointment letter). I am still waiting for either of them.

I will keep you update when I will received the letter and let me know as well if you will received them. We might have the interview the same day :)

we received the letter yesterday, for landing on next week...at mtl office
first letter come 45 days after DM, second one came in 20 days after first letter
 
I called the CIC today. They say my background check still isn't complete, that they're not waiting on anything from me, and I should call back in three months :o to see if there are any changes.

Is anyone else stuck in the background check? I have no idea what could be holding mine up.

Congrats!

Did you had the Right of permanent residency payment done prior DM?

Also, is your spouse has to be with you at the interview?

Thanks

Good news,

We got the letter for the interview at MTL on May 30 :D They asked to bring all the photos and IDs doc. So no 2 steps process as I have seen with others at Montreal lately.

Hopefully you will get some good news soon.

Same here. Called today, told everything looked fine, and they were awaiting the background. Exactly 8 months since AIP today.

Ecas changed to DM.... medicals received. But nothing else. I assume they will send a letter.

22 Months.
 
It's been exactly 8 months for me this weekend. I called a few months back to update my email address and to ask whether my new medical had ever been received. They requested it when I got AIP in September, I did it in the 3rd week of September, and my ECAS never updated with "medical received". According to the call center agent, they did receive it, but still nothing going on on ECAS at all. He didn't want to tell me anything else about my progress because the 8 months had not passed yet at that point.

Now that the 8 months have passed, I'm not sure what to do. Call again? Contact MP? I wish I would at least know why it's taking so long. I should be an easy case one would think, no kids prior to this relationship, not previously married or common law, have been legally employed in Canada for almost 5 years now, never traveled outside Europe or North America, and never longer than a couple of weeks. I did move house a lot, though, and lived with a string of different roommates, I wonder if that makes me suspicious somehow and the background check takes really long?
