LOL you won’t need a book.. I went to their office around 3:40pm on a Tuesday and I was the only one in there,got inside they write your name and then the guy called me right way,by 3:50 I was leaving the office!
This new system is so simple and fast!

Who knows? Maybe I’ll need a book lol, was thinking this would be a take a number situation.

I've heard about it only in Montreal so far, but instead of receiving a specific date and time for your landing appointment, you still get a letter stating the documents to brings but you can go whenever you want for your landing. So instead of landing 6-10 weeks after DM, which was the normal timeline in Montreal, now you can land as fast as 1-2 weeks after DM. Hopefully IRCC will be happy with the results and extend this way to all other landing offices.

But also, maybe it’s only this way in Montreal because Quebec has their own immigration system happening?

Or is this just a way of immigration to deal with the amount of applications ?

Definitely made our life easier hahaha

So far I received

Photos for the PA only, this is for the PR card. The sponsor should bring ID (passport and/or driving licence).

Tell us after you landed. I'm curious about this pilot project. For us the landing appointment letter came 8 weeks after DM and landing was 2 weeks later, so totally 10 weeks after DM! This pilot project looks very cool. You just go whenever you want. Montreal was very slow to give appointments.

So far,

I received an email saying my application was completed July 23, saying that MTL would contact me.

Eligibility was given to my husband as a sponsor July 18, and I was given eligibility July 17.
I received my email saying “we are ready to issue confirmation of permanenent residency “ August 1.

So far everything is pretty quick now that I am at the end of this.

I will follow up once I have gone to this meeting thing!

Thanks!

I am also March 2017 applicant and CIC requested my fingerprint last march . we are in the same boat.
The good news is that I received AIP and Decision made ( sponsor side) on Aug 03. I hope you receive news soon

my husband got DM letter, my side is still under process
I saw most applicants don't need to provide fingerprint, don't know why we have to.

Hi,

Today we had our landing interview!
The appointment was at 10am and we got there for 9.30am. We barely sat
in the waiting room when we were called up. All we were asked for was photo ID,
proof of address, and the interview letter. Then I was asked if I'd ever been convicted
of a crime, when I first arrived in Canada and when the last time I entered Canada was.
After that is was done, she signed the permenant resident form and I did. She said it would
be 8/10 weeks for the permenant resident card to arrive.

We went straight to Service Canada afterwards to get a new SIN number.

Just to say, we never recieved an email saying DM. ECAS changed to say it and the next
day an interview letter arrived. So you may not even get a DM email!

Good luck to everyone!!

Extra Documents Requested: 24th July
AIP: 1st August
SA: 1st August
ECAS change to DM: 2nd September

Hey guys!

Just a wee inquiry about PR cards. I landed in Etobicoke May 30th of this year and submitted my PR card application at the same time. Since then, radio silence, despite it being more than the 62 days the CIC website says it takes for processing.

Has anyone else run into any similar delays? After a 16-month wait to get PR I was hoping the PR card could arrive quickly.

You might get yours soon; I'm also an August 17th!

After getting AIP, is the interview next?
Also, how long does the background check supposed to take? Mine still says they are doing it and I'm concerned it's because my FBI certificate got screwed up and massively delayed.

Hi i just wanna ask what category did you applied? inland or outland? thanks

Hi everyone,

Our application was received on Sep 8, 2017. We got AIP and SA on Jul 27 from Vancouver office. Our ECAS (both sponsor and PA) changed to DM on Jul 28. We haven't received anything since then. Is it normal? Should we call CIC?

Thanks

totally normal. depending on how busy the cic office near you, it may take weeks to months before they contact you for your landing interview.

Hi, Guys,
Hello, @sylvain1 ,

Just saw this in ECAS: "We started processing PA's application on July 25, 2018."

Would you know how long this would take again? It feels forever to get done. Hehe.

Thanks!

aye thats a pain the arse mate, id give them a call and ask em if they have even sent it... i think they are processed in Nova Scotia. If you can manage to get a number for there id like to know ... i landed on 23rd July so im a fair bit behun you as well.

Edit :- 902-564-2763 found this seems to the case processing centre whether its right or not i dont know and whether they will give you answer its anyone's guess
