After receiving the DM email on May 19, 2015, I received the landing interview from Etobicoke CIC yesterday! The letter was dated May 21 (2 days after DM) and arrived yesterday May 25 and it's for today May 26!

I have to say that I appreciate Etobicoke CIC's speedy letter but just like ggfish mentioned, a lot of people might have to reschedule it for such short notice!

My wife's gone crazy to get her photos done this morning! I will work half day and drive down to Etobicoke this afternoon!!!

I also want to thank everyone here for your support and comfort. I have been followed this thread from page 500ish and finally my case comes to the end!

ukca8614, as we are back to back, I wish you will receive your DM very very soon!! :)

Landed yesterday in Etobicoke. Finished up with this ardous, ridiculously long process. We had received our DM in Feb 13 and nothing from Etobicoke office after that.

Called CIC and they said that the standard processing time is 2 months so we will have to wait longer than that before any action is taken.

We went to the MP Kyle Seeback to seek his help to expedite.

The Case Worker, a funny chap was defending the CIC delays but accepted out case. He said he will dig into with CIC about our Etobicoke landing.

After accepting our file he gave us a date when he will get back to us. But the date went by and no call from him.

Called the MP office and we were told that a message will be left for the case worker and he will call back. He never called back. We called again for an update the second time. Same story, we will take a message and pass it to him and he will call back. Never Called back - DESPITE chasing him 2 times. Pretty useless fella. Sorry Kyle Seeback, you need better case worker than him. No point accepting the cases and not reverting back on the update.

Finally 3 months after the DM date, we called CIC again and this time we had help from the tele-representative who said that she will send a message to remind Etobicoke.

In 3-4 days after that we got the landing letter.

The landing process was quite straightforward of which there are several examples in this chat forum.

Bottom Line: We are happy that its over but irritated, annoyed because of the promise by CIC that the move to CIC Mississauga is to expedite the cases, the change of processing time from 6 months to appx 2 years without any accountability and the lack of support from the local MP's team.

I seriously hope that others have a better experience and we brig some accountability to this process for the sake of new comers.

CIC has scope for MUCH improvement.

That's so frustrating! At least you will be a PR soon and you can start accepting job offers now.
