Confused about AIP and decision made?

[giacanada]

Hi everyone,

Hope someone can answer my question. I see people who have written that they have received AIP and THEN "decision made," but isn't decision made the same as AIP? I mean, they made their decision and gave you AIP, so I don't get it...

Here's my timeline:

Applied for PR humanitarian Nov 2010.
Application began processing in Vegreville, and was transferred to local office January 2011.
This week I read on the ecas " A decision has been made and you will be contacted." I called the CIC centre and they told me they sent me a letter with my first stage approval (aip) and will arrive within two weeks.

What's next? All these terms kinda confuse me  . Thanks!

After first stage approval with an inland application, you can usually get health care and apply for an open work permit.
