Hi There Everyone!

My application has been completed and sent to Vancouver office where I am awaiting a call to schedule our interview!

My ECAS hasn't changed yet, but the call centre said Vegreville sent us a letter on Monday.

My questions anyone who went through the Vancouver Office are:
-How long did it take for Vancouver office to contact you for the interview?
-How long after that did it take for interview to actually take place?
-The Call Centre said that my interview is the same as landing, yet they did not say a decision has been made, just that my file is completed.... is this the same thing?

I am*hoping* I'll be able to go back to my homeland for a visit in August, is that wishful thinking?

Either way, this is one step closer! There is finally a light at the end of the tunnel and we are all going to be bona fide PRs soon enough!!
Thank you ALL!!!
 
I landed last april 19 2013 :)
 
Just wanted to let everyone know that I finally received PPR today!!!! After mailing our application Sept 27, 2011 and it being received Oct 3, 2011.......I can finally see the end nearing!!!! Is there anyone still left from this group that is waiting to be finalized?

Hi, I am with you. I applied in September 28, 2011. My husband received PPR first week of May.. So I hope we will get visa at the same time. :)
 
We've been waiting since September 27, 2011 to be able to say that the COPR finally arrived!!!!! However, they sent it to my address in the States when I'm clearly in Ontario and they had all the information. But, it's ok, I won't complain now ;) Sending thoughts and prayers to everyone who is still waiting!!

CONGRATS AMY!!!! I'm so happy for the both of you! It's a great feeling, eh, to finally be done with this process :) Wishing you guys all of the very, very best!!
 
Sent application at the end of September, called for interview in London on the 22nd May. Interview was fantastic and they approved my application mid interview, they tried printing my paperwork on the spot but there was a computer problem, so I picked it up two days later on the 24th! Landed in Canada with my COPR on the 27th May, got my SIN on the 29th!
