I don't know if you have been answered. It seems everyone is missing your question.Hi @kattarrina ,
I have a question: you are probably an inland applicant and when you get the interview scheduled, can you go to the border crossing instead and do landing right-away?
Some inlands get passport request, most of them are required to wait for an interview. If they don't ask for your passport, you don't get CoPR (you need this to go to the border).
I know I would like to land within 2 weeks too (with passport back and forth), but the assholes make you wait, no choice! This is the worst invention by CIC, especially for Vancouver people!
