A lot of people got their 'regular' interview waived (the one before AIP), but there will always be a landing interview. Usually it takes a few weeks between CIC Vegreville finalizing your demand and the actual landing interview. Your local office will pick a date for you and inform you through a letter.
What's your timeline by the way? Could you share your eCas data with us?
i can only put my hope and faith in God..everyone who gets AIP would normally go through a landing interview. however i am trying to find out how long it took for anyone in ottawa area to get a call or letter from the local CIC office?
my Ecas details shows
APP recieved on the 4th of october, 2010

your file has been sent to the local CIC office in ottawa...july 10th, 2011
So you didn't get first stage approval yet. Your file was transferred to Ottawa and I think they might have a few questions about your relationship that's why they require an interview. Are there any red flags you can think about why they might doubt your relationship?
I have no idea for the wait time in Ottawa, it might be a couple of months. I know for a fact in Calgary, the wait time is about 12-18 months for the interview. You might want to order your FOSS notes so you have an idea what they are looking for.
