I am an Express Entry applicant, I was told it would be done in 6 months. At this rate, it will be 6 months for processing, 4 months for waiting for an appointment at the Vancouver office, which is ridiculous!
Inland Landing Interview from Vancouver Office: waiting time
- Thread starter E.R.Z784
- Start date
Landed today at the Vancouver office, yay!
Arrived at 915am for my 930am appointment. It was SUPER crowded (and the space is pretty tiny). Waited for over an hour.
Actual interview was a breeze. Passport, photo, have I ever committed a crime?, have I ever been asked to leave Canada?, you know the drill by now
.
Was not asked for proof of payment. I paid every fee before submitting, FYI.
Verified the info on the COPR. They made a mistake on my original entry date. Was immediately corrected.
After 5min total I was a PR.
Then went to Service Canada for my SIN. Waited another 90 minutes. A group of about 20 young Irish folks on, I assume, working holiday visas showed up just before me.
But what's another few hours after a year of waiting? Really relieved it's over now!

Common Law, DM March 15 and finally got my landing interview letter today! Scheduled on June 21 830am.
Hi, Finally landed at Vancouver office on May 25th and became a Permanent Resident, they said that instructions for my spouse(in India) visa will be emailed to me within a week(cannot believe). Did anyone has same situation? I'm worried about how long it will take to get email.
Landed at the Vancouver office. I arrived for an 8:30 appointment, but I wasn't seen until around 9:30 or 9:40. The actual meeting itself was super simple and quick, though!
So glad this is all over. I hope you all get your meetings soon.

I wonder what is your Application and DM date?
When did you receive invitation?
I landed yesterday as well! I got called around 20 min after my appointment time. It's quite busy in the landing office.
I got my SIN this morning and linked my PR card to my GCKey.

I thought for express entry you can do landing in the border.
If they send CoPR. For that, they ask for the passport. For a lot of inlands (especially if you live in an area close to a landing office), they don't give that option (they don't ask for a passport even if you beg), otherwise I would be happy to land at the border.
What is DM?

Interesting to see that when I did my landing at 10 last Friday it was quite empty. I think the IRCC scheduled the appointments evenly... Was it because a lot of refugee claimants were there at 9AM waiting for the door to open?
