For us... almost 22 months! When we applied, it was 26 months, but when my wife landed, people were landing in 14-16 months. So yes, a very long process!
But we all tend to over-stress with that. It's just a matter of time. If IRCC officers have doubts about an application, they will give you opportunities to address their concerns by requesting more documents or an interview before assessing the eligibility. Then, if still unsatisfied, they would send a procedural fairness letter stating they intend to refuse the application and state their reasons. And still, you would have one last occasion to address their concerns before the application gets refused. So to all people waiting, just be patient and enjoy your everyday life. The approval rate is above 90% and assuming you did not get a procedural fairness letter, you should really have nothing to worry. It's just a matter of time (patience!).

Aw man that sucks it took so long. Ours was 11 months so nothing compared to you!! It's a relief that for sure, the request last week for more documents had us more worried but we knew we didn't have anything to hide. That landing interview letter can't come soon enough!

Congratulations, yes you are waiting for an interview appointment letter. You may or may not receive a DM letter as well. Some people get it with delays, some never get it, but you are done and will be landing within few weeks.

AIP/SA came from Vancouver office
The interview letter came from Etobicoke office

Our file was transfered to Vancouver because Mississauga had too many applications to keep up with :p

If you have a bit of time and If you're question has gotten lost in this thread without an answer start reviewing this thread from page 660, You'll pretty much find an answer to mostly anything. I think this will help new members to have an answer on their newer question. Congratulations to anyone that's getting AIP's and DM's lately :)
