Congratulations! Yes, it means you received AIP and DM in the same letter. Ah, but they're going to keep your $150 for the OWP (which will only be useful until you land).

You might as well go get the temporary SIN, as it will permit you to start looking for work. I think of it as a sort of "Murphy's Law" approach to the world - if you put off getting a SIN until you can get the permanent one, you'll end up passing up some great job...

But either way, congratulations - you'll soon be a PR of Canada.

Etobicoke has been fast getting landing letters out lately. So you should expect a letter within 2 weeks in the mail.

So it's now been over 12 weeks since DM, and we continue to wait for the office in Vancouver to contact us.

We have tried to call and email the call centre multiple times with no success. We feel it may be discrimination for several reasons. There's applicants who received their landing interviews (from Vancouver) within a month or two, while others have been waiting several months. When trying to call them, after entering the requested information, we are given a recording that says the call cannot be transferred due to the high volume of calls and then it disconnects. And we have also not received any response through email, other then a general auto response.

Is there an email address, telephone, or fax number to contact the office in Vancouver that deals with the landing interviews?

Hi,

Finally today my ecas has been updated to "Decision Made". I have not yet received any communication from CIC, so I am hoping I will receive something in my mailbox in next few days. I live in Hamilton so I am hoping it will be my landing office.

My timeline is:

- Application received at the CPC (Vegreville, AB) on May 7, 2012
- AOR Received on August 31, 2012
- Medical Done on October 16, 2012 (showed on ecas on Nov 21, 2012)
- AIP - October 16, 2012 (ecas updated on October 23, 2012)
- OWP - Applied online on Aug 8, 2013 and received it on Sep 23, 2013 (Duration - 2 yrs)
- Fingerprinting request - Done on Sep 13, 2013. RCMP has completed the verification on Sep 16, 2013 and sent it to CIC.
- DM - ECAS updated on Oct 15, 2013

Thanks for all your advice and support.

I was requested to do fingerprints and it was sent today! Should i expect to hear back in approximately a month?

CIC received your additional documents?

It took 3-4 days to review my wife's passport.
