On the document regarding scheduling an interview, it says that you can just go to a border and get your things done there. Is that actually plausible and should I explore it?
If you can go visa free to the US, that would be a good option. I have been waiting more than three months for a landing interview in Vancouver and it is very frustrating (they promised me to speed it up though).
Got an invite for my landing interview today and it s for Nov 27th, so exactly 2 weeks from now
So I tried going to one of the borders and they require you to leave and re-enter the country before you can do the interview. You can also present yourself at the airport (which is what I will try tomorrow) for the interview. Since my PR visa expires in 2 months I can do an urgent appointment correct?
I heard about people doing that before, going to the US border guards, then get rejected because they don’t have a visa and then return to the Canadian side and do the landing. It sounds risky and I would not dare to do that. I am not sure if you can do it in the airport without flying. I would be interested to hear about how it goes and wish you luck! I have waited more than 3 months for an interview in Vancouver and I am losing faith that I will ever get an appointment, so I am also beginning to explore alternatives before it is too late.
Hi, I applied PR through Spouse or Common-Law Partner in-Canada Class and received the below email from CIC today. Just wondering is it a just simple landing interview? Or is it an interview to verify whether a genuine relationship with my spouse exists? Thsnkd

I think for a simple landing interview they would have provided you with an imm5688 landing document and given you the option to go to cross the border instead of waiting for an interview.
3 months have passed since DM and I called CIC again. I found out my interview request was cancelled by Vancouver office because of their misunderstanding. The operator sent a request for the interview to the office but he said it might take to get 3 moths from now!! OMG... My file was messed up three times. Anyways there was a BIG reason why I haven't got any emails. Now I'm a bit worried if your file is on the right queue...
to be honest,you might consider to do landing at a border. It is faster that way
But I understand inland applicants can’t land at the border because we are not sent the COPR. Do you know a way around this?
I'd love to do that, but unfortunately, I don't have my COPR so that's not my option. If I had, I already would do that many months ago! My application was approved in December, 2018. Since then I've been waiting for a COPR or lading interview. I had to go back to my country because of my family emergency while I was waiting for the interview date in January. They said I could wait for a COPR in my country, but it was never sent to me, because they didn't sent my file to the country. After I came back to Canada, they said they would send me a COPR, but it also didn't happen. I sent a letter to CIC, an officer called me directly, and he sent an interview request to Vancouver office. I thought finally I could get an interview appointment, but the office cancelled the request maybe because they thought I should already got a COPR. I really hope I can get an interview before my work visa expired....
