mine is in hamilton on the 23rd. im very nervous as i'm not sure what to bring for proof of employment since ive been unemployed for a few months and been working cash jobs.
If it's your landing interview I dont' think you have to bring proof of employment do you? Are you the sponsor?

I received a letter saying I'm eligible to be a permanent resident... What happened after this?
Next step will be the decision made (DM) once your background and criminality checks will be completed along with your médicale if you haven’t had it yet. After DM is the landing interview if all goes well. They may request more info from you before giving you DM.

What you received is called AIP (approval in principle) which is a good sign!! Congrats!

Can I change interview date? Validity of My passport was about to expire. So I applied to renew it. It will be back after 3 weeks. ( by 10 th august).
Today I got AIP. (approval in principle/ a letter mentioned eligibility of being applicant) from Etobicoke office.

So if I get interview request scheduled before 10th august, can I change the interview date? As I have to get my renewed passport before facing them

Yes you can change the date of the interview, call CIC if you get it before. You should also let them know about the change of passport because the information will be different from what they have on file.

I Recieved a pre arrival letter from CIC. What should I do now?
Nothing unless you wanted to check out the info/links on the letter. There may be some good resources for finding jobs, etc. It is a courtesy of the Canadian government to help newcomers settle in.

I am lost :( please help

2- Should i apply inland or outland ( i am moroccan, not sure about the processing time there...)

1 - yes you can do that, keep in mind it takes 3-5 months to get the OWP so it might be tight to wait the last minute to send your OWP application. I’m surprised you were given a permit that goes beyond the validity of your passport.

2 - if you are in Canada you can apply inland. Keep in mind that if you apply Outland you won’t be eligible for the OWP.

You may want to check with your consulate/embassy to see if you can renew your passport early and apply with your new passport for both sponsorship and OWP, that may save you some headache down the road.
Also, it seems that sponsorship application are processed within less than 12 months on average but it’s not a guarantee, as you can see in this 2018 August inland group a lot of people still haven’t got their PR.

I hope this helps!
