Interview for finalization AFTER I've already landed??!

[Aussam]

I received this email today, I was approved 2 weeks ago and got my COPR on Friday and Landed on Saturday. Officer telling me I am now a Canadian Permanent Resident.
Then today, I receive this email?
Is this some type of scam?
It's addressed to "Undisclosed recipients" which is really odd as well.

Anybody else receive something like this?
I'm already landed and processed so I really don't get it?

 

[sam_1985]

Could be an error on their side; seems really odd because you have already landed... to me a mistake has been made and they just need to be advised that you have already landed... I would give CIC a call and explain the situation ASAP.

 

[taffy7]

I agree its a computer error. There files have not been updated, since you landed on Saturday . Just give them a call and explain. I just checked their website and they do immigration landing there.

 

[Aussam]

Great, they have telephony difficulties. press 0 to speak to an operator and it just repeats the same options.

Great, they have telephony difficulties. press 0 to speak to an operator and it just repeats the same options.

Welcome to Canada! Just try again later it could be just over loaded and the system is just looping because of it.

 

[taffy7]

Try sending them an email question@cic.ga.ca You have 11 more days before your interview , so lets hope they return your email or you get through to the call center.

Was your timeline for Inland Spousal Family based application filed in 2014?

 

[Ponga]

Was your timeline for Inland Spousal Family based application filed in 2014?

This would have been an Outland application. Inland applicants receive their CoPR when they attend the landing interview.

You may contact us by email at question@cic.gc.ca or at 1-888-242-2100 and speak to an agent. Please note that Call Centre agents will inform you if your situation requires an appointment.

 

[Aussam]

I got through to an agent and they just said to disregard the email as I've already landed and that the email would have been organized earlier but hadn't been sent until today or there was a computer error. Also I can reply to the email as a courtesy.
So I've just replied and told them that I've already landed.

 

[Cathy645]

Great you landed in time otherwise you have to travel for retarded interview.

Congratulations!

It's undisclosed recipients and it was from a proper cic email address. I called up CIC and it's been resolved although my reply email to explain what has happened hasn't been replied back.

That is a standard 'form letter' for a landing interview for an Inland applicant. If at any time in your processing you mentioned to your VO that you might have a hard time 'flagpoling' or updated your address for inside of Canada it may have triggered this letter to be sent to you. Even some outland applicants that receive their COPR inside of Canada are unable to 'flagpole' and require an office landing to officially land.

I would not worry too much about getting an email reply back from them. If you have already spoken to CIC and they have identified you as officially landed and your COPR / Passport has been stamped, signed, sealed and sent off for processing of your card via CBSA you should be perfectly fine.
